smartstart with chrysler xpresskit chall

Hi,

I have installed a Python 2 way remote start in a 2010 Dodge Ram using the Chrysler XpressKit and Chall to interface to the factory wiring. This is all working fine, but now I am adding a SmartStart module and have run into an issue:

From what I can tell, the SmartStart module hooks into the Chall module using the 4 pin D2D port, the problem is, this is also where the Xpresskit hooks into. How do I hook all 3 components together? Is there a Y cable that allows all 3 modules to be hooked into the D2D ports? If so, would it work if I just piggybacked onto the wiring going from the xpresskit to the Chall for the Smartstart module?

The SmartStart install manual only shows how to connect this either directly to Chall, or directly to an expresskit, but not using all 3.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the reply. Can you direct me to the manual you found? It sounds like it has much more detail than the one I am using, maybe it can help me sort this out.

Thanks again.

My viper 5901 remote start connects to my smartstart module using the 5901's bitwriter port . Something about your install just doesnt sound right . First of all a chall  is a xpresskit . You state you have a chall connected to a xpresskit .

Why on earth would you connect 2 xpresskit modules ? I have a 2010 ram also & only the chall is needed . It does the  bypass & door locks which makes me wonder why you would connect 2 xpresskit modules .

Your remote start should connect to your challs D2D port & the smartstart connects to the remote starts bitwriter port if done correctly .
