Q: john wrote hello group i live in minnesota and its been cold for awhile here. im thinking about getting a remote start for my truck. ive found them online for about $269. the parts from mopar go for about $300. i called my dealer and they want $400 installed. is it really that hard to install im pretty knowledgeable and my friends dad used to be a mechanic so i would think we could figure it out. if anyone knows any tricks or anything else about installing remote starts please let me know. thanks john the best advice that i can give you is to go to www.the12volt.com and sign up for a free account. do your research there and visit the install bay forum. their expertise is priceless and its available to you for free. -- ken .

on feb 15 116 pm tom lawrence tnloaswpraemnmcie...@earthlink.net wrote agree about the carry part - but what makes it damn near impossible to purchase one i can buy any long gun i want whenever i want. i was referring specifically to handguns. i should have been clearer. handguns are a little different - gotta apply for a purchase permit which takes my local pd about twice the legal limit statute says 30 days - usually takes 60+ but thats far from an impossibility. trying to remember from when i was there ... you have to file a request for a permit to purchase. the area i was in for a short time was princeton. first off finding a gun shop was a challenge. then finding a gun shop with guns that were worth buying was even more difficult. i never filed my permit to purchase as i ended up back in texas. my then boss told me to move to pa if owning or carrying a gun was important to me. he had been waiting for over two months for his permit to buy. last i talked to him he never received his permit to buy. i already had a carry permit from texas ... which meant absolutely nothing to anyone in nj. i was told that i could apply for a nj hl but that i would have to register my guns and supply a need. do certain counties in nj add-on to the state law craig c. .

kinda hard to answer that. lower than where and lower than when where i live the population density is extremely low and we are relatively remote. but we have our share of low-lifes and tweakers in the woods. the closest law enforcement on a good day is at least 10 miles away. so as far as my own property and my immediate area is concerned the crime rate is zero. in part i suspect due to the fact that out here most everybodys strapped. and everybody knows it. wolfie on feb 15 858 am stormin mormon cayoung61- &spambloc...@hotmail.com wrote much lower crime there -- christopher a. young you cant shout down a troll. you have to starve them. . on feb 15 604 am stormin mormon cayoung61- &spambloc...@hotmail.com wrote this is why we need concealed carry! if it had not been for this off-duty officers concealed weapon many more people would have been killed and seriously wounded! off-duty officer called hero after utah rampage an off-duty officer celebrating an early valentines day with his wife repeatedly fired at a gunman who killed five people and wounded four at a shopping mall and saved the lives of numerous others the police chief said tuesday.http//www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17124042/from/et/ -- christopher a. young you cant shout down a troll. you have to starve them. . glad i live in a right-to-carry state. and i do. wolfie .

on harness parts per vehicle if not required on a vehicle multiplied over whatever amount of cars produced in a year that doesnt have a particular option i guess would amount add up even though all dc dashes electronics share part numbers. so it sux for figuring out what you need for a replacement. plus they would need to inventory or continue producing 20 + whatever the number is different harnesses. if there was only one harness used imagine the possibility of adding any factory option you didnt originally get at production. but nope dodge did not make it that simple... oh well. if its easy to put in or not would depend on your current harness. you may need an additional harness. requiring or not requiring an additional harness depends on your vehicle and whether it has the mirror harness jack in teh a-pillar and how many pins are in it. if less than 11 pins connected to live wires youll need the lx jet harness. if you need the harness youll just need know how to get into the headliner a pillar under the dash and pull out the radio. or take it to a dealer for a 2.0 hour job. also while at the dealer which you dont have to do and it works without this step to use the starscan to setup the new found device on the can so the evic is aware of it. if you dont need the harness the plug that the telematic unit gets plugged into in the lx cars is behind the glove box. in rams i believe the plug is behind and to the left of the radio but check dcx for the exact placement or just ask ted... if not sure or want to simplify the whole process ask ted what you need. hes also working a universal uconnect harness if your vehicle requires it which was originally designed by jaak as the lx jet harness for any dc vehicle whether with or without the rain sensors mirror dimmers clearance lights etc. ted can put together a package including the telematic unit mirror along with mirror harness already profesionally spliced into the jet harness that jaak created. whether you need this harness or not its pretty much a simple plug and play procedure. ted harris mopar super center rick hendrick dodge chrysler jeep http//www.moparsupercenter.com/ 800-456-5337 for more info how-tos etc what everyone else take on it is etc check out these threads. also check out jaaks garage too that has a bunch other factory mods and goodies. lx uconnect harness jet harness http//lxharness.com/index.phpact=viewprod&productid=2 lx forums installing the factory uconnect in your lx http//www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.phpt=22586&pp=10&page=14 dodge forums re installing factory uconnect http//www.dodgeforum.com/m371162/mpage2/key/tm.htm#700977 jaaks garage http//ca.geocities.com/knob@rogers.com/ more goodies at this site including a reverse cam not factory and modifying the nav radio to allow you to connect your laptop or a portable dvd player www.tvandnav2go.com you i hope this helps anyone attempting this awesome addition. ace infinite diversities in infinite combinations assimilation imminent. resistance is futile very funny scotty. now beam down my clothes. whats a uconnect . 222 329788 4gdnwti2pvxt1dynz2dnuvzrginz2d@comcast.com roy wrote yup damn thing wants to take me over the george washington bridge. the garmin at first was the same but you could toss in other cities on the route you want and sort of cheat it. the dc one wont let you. i could always keep on entering final destinations but thought there might be a way around it. just checked on mine and there is a way to tell it to avoid a road. you can also create an itinerary that involves a sequence of routes/stops allowing you to break it down into smaller segments to route it how you want. i havent tried that feature yet though. i tried that and you have to give like the name of a building or some such. im going to mess with it more later today. thanks for your input. roy .
