I have installed about 15 remote starters in 5 diffrent models and have reached one that I have some questions on and hoped for some help. The jeep that I used to have had a remote starter in it, that I installed 3 years ago and never had a problem with. Iit was a 94 Laredo. I just purchased the 98 limited and a remote starter and started to read and have had doubts about installing it myself because this has some type of security system. The stuff that I have read says that a module would be required for a 99 or newer but I have found nothing for the 98 will I need a module or can I wire in as usual?? I have had it in to the installer but they would like about 150.00 to install as he has told me these are a pain in the a%$ to put in on the Jeeps. Is this true or is he trying to make a sale. Also they have a backlog and would not be able to install after Christmas for me since I have not bought from them. I have all the wiring hookup points and have read a lot of threads here but have not found the answer to the question of needing the module or not.

Please let me Know if I can proceed on my own or should I get the "Pros" to do it ??

I do not think you need a module, If the head of your key is gray you probabily need an anti theft module bypass module, if the head of your key is black you probabily do not need a bypass module. the bypass modules are not very hard to put in your self, they make them sound harder then they really are. What brand remote starter do you have?

The DEI module for interfacing the door lock control module, Wic will also control lock, unlock, arm, disarm, dome light supervision, and more is 455J.

It is a AstroStart 2106 very popular here in Canada. One of the more upscale models but worth every penny. No the Key is not Grey so hooking into the doorlocks system and the disarm wire with the remote start will get me passed the security worry?? If so I am going to start on it today. they usually only take me about 2.5 hours but this might require a little more research than the older jeep but this board is great compared to how I started out. All trial and error 1st time took me two days thank goodness it was my own that time around. The door lock system will it require a resitor it has the 5 wire system I believe..?

the drivers door unlocks 1st then all the others. I really don't like that feature and would like to bypass it so that the starter unlock does all the doors the 1st time. Suggestions

Thanks in advance

re-reading your post are you suggesting a module then??

455j is for 99 and up , 455t is 98 and back they have a different databus language. make sure you get the right one for your vehicle.
