I would recommend a Viper 5301 or 4204, Same unit. Its just a remote starter that has very good range. It is what I installed in the Town & Country mentioned earlier.
A bit more range is the Viper 5501 or 4704. Both remote starters only.
All of the above will have the ability to do the Starter 2.
Alarm can be a bit of a pain if not done right. False alarm or windy days setting off the alarm, so I tend to stay away from them.
Kreg will have good recommendations also.2007 dodge grand caravan - Page 2 -- posted image.
I am familiar with the Viper, Python, Clifford line.

Question... I called the gent whom I purchased the bypass from. He's saying he can update it to any firmware necessary. is this true or does he not know what he's talking about? I would think firmware is something you can't modify unless you get the board specific to that version.

The Fortin can be re-flashed.

hey guys... okay so I was vigilant and decided to try this again. got everything working but the start. I don't have a starter 2 output from my alarm, it needs to be a negative output. is there any way to use the first starter and isolate with relays and the 180 ohm resistor? searched the forums too. .

wired the Fortin up properly, it programmed fine. starter goes to start and cuts out after half a second. can the tach wire be hooked up to the high voltage wire for engine startup test?

Try connecting the EVO-ALL Tach output Pink wire to this wire on your R/S system :
PIN7: Blue/red wire – Engine start testing wire 1, input for engine high-voltage, signal to be effective more than 1V .
Please refer to installation diagram 2.   There might be some kind of Tach Learn process required, also.
Soldering is fun!

that wire is intended to be coiled 5 times around a high voltage wire. I looped it around the spark plug wire

Here is a diagram of how to wire the Dodge Grand Caravans Starter and MUX wires from the one Smartcar Starter output :

Re Tach / Hi Voltage wire.  OK, not real common but if it works...  ( Don't have the install guide to actually read up on your system.)
