What was the firmware indicated on the white sticker?  If it is indeed ADS AL(DL)-CH5, then I would try a Factory Reset on the iDatalink bypass module and then set the Install Mode to Standard ( two blinks ), lock it in and then re-program to the truck.  As Jeff pointed out, the iDatalink module does give some indications via the LED during remote start that could assist in troubleshooting a problem.  They are listed at the end of the Install Guide ( along with the Factory Reset procedure ).

Therein lies the problem.  You need a special USB computer cable ( ADS USB ) and registered dealer access to their WEB site to flash the module.  If you purchased it locally, see if the seller will flash it for you.  Otherwise , if you don't want to spend $60 for the cable and can't meet the "dealer" qualifications, you might try a local BestBuy ( in the States, not sure if they are in Canada, too ) or friendly car alarm shop.

Yeah we have a best buy and future shop here. They don't need any wire harness to flash it do they? I can just take it in and ask them to flash it and tell them it's a 2007 dodge ram?

No harnesses, just the module.  They should know exactly which firmware is needed but can select it thru pull down menus knowing the year, make and model.  Bring a box of doughnuts, they are doing you a huge favor.   2007 dodge ram 1500 compustar - Page 2 -- posted image.

Haha ok I'll make sure to do that today then. Another question here, the siren is really loud! Like ear piercing loud. I've read in the manuel that came with it and it said if I wanted to make it louder all I do is cut the black loop. So I thought maybe the black loop got cut but I took my siren out and can not find a black loop anywhere. So is it inside the siren? I didn't want to take it apart and find out its not there

Ok so....
I finally got it to work!!! All is good. It remote starts and locks and unlocks and all thy good stuff lol. I just went to do a factory reset on the bypass only to find that the lock, unlock and ignition harness WAS UNPLUGGED!! Kind of stupid of me that I didn't see it earlier 😝. Anyways it's all good now and thank you everyone for your help. It was all very appreciated.
I still need help with the siren though. No big deal if it won't be quieter but it would be nice to know if it can be. Also I don't know if it's only on the chrylsers or not but when I press the unlock it only opens the drivers door so I have to press it a second time then all the doors unlock. Wondering if there was a way around that?
