Hello all.  I am putting a Autopage RS-730 in my 06 Dodge 2500, diesel if it matters.  I have looked at several sites, including this one that says the ACC and START are the violet/brown wire and works through resistors, as stated below, which I found on another post on this site.  1st problem I am having is finding the correct value resistors, 610 & 180 locally....and I don't know how to make my own values....can someone explain this to me, PLEASE!! :-)  2nd....the diagram below shows the dk. GREEN/ YELLOW to be a + starter wire on this truck, which I confirmed....so is it ok to use this wire for the start function??  I'm assuming NOT since the other 3 diagrams I have seen shows to use the single wire and put resistors on for ACC and START....and there has to be a reason, but I wanted to ask. 

But if someone could enlighten me as to resistors values, I would greatly appreciate it!!  Thank you.

DODGE / RAM PICKUP / 2006 / Remote Start

12volts lt. blue/red (2A)   +   ignition harness
Starter dk. GREEN/ YELLOW   +   ign harn or starter button (SRT-10)
Second Starter PURPLE / brown   -   ignition harness
Notes: The second starter wire is negative trigger thru an 180 ohm resistor. MUST use a relay. Refer to DirectFax document 1084 for wiring information.
Ignition pink/white   +   ignition harness
Second Ignition N/A       
Third Ignition N/A       
Accessory same as second starter wire   -   ignition harness
Notes: The accessory wire is negative trigger thru a 610 ohm resistor. MUST use a relay. Refer to DirectFax document 1084 for wiring information.
Second Accessory N/A

A 1K and a 1.5K resistor in parallel will give you 600 ohms.  This should be close enough to the 610 ohms.

If you series 2 resistors, or more than 2 for that matter, simply add the values together.  You should be able to get a 100 ohm and a 75 ohm and wire them in series for the 180 ohm.

This would be great....except my truck is a ST model and uses the base keys, not the chipped keys....and my dealer told me mine was not can-bus and so a bypass module would do me no good.....sucks!!

Thanks to ya'll for the resistor help!!! 

NOW...I have a new problem!!  I got the accessory to work just fine...but I can't get the start to kick in.  I have tried switching inputs/outputs on the 2 relays and checking connections to make sure it's all getting through and it is....the relay engages as it is supposed too...but I'm thinking the resistor isn't set up right. 

Can anyone shed any light on this??

Thanks again everyone!!

Was gonna shoot this up one more time for review. 

I have tried several different resistor combos...ranging from about a 170ish to 190 area of value and nothing wants to engage the starter. 

I have checked and double checked the relays and it's all correct.  What the heck am I doing wrong??

Thanks all!!

Can you tell me if this will work on my ST model truck??  As I stated above my dealer said it would not work because I do not have chipped keys....but I was thinking the bypass did the ignition bypass (which I don't think I have) and the start/accessory functions as well by connecting in to the data wire on the plug....is this true??  If it is, I'm getting the bypass regardless of what my dealer says.

I have tried NUMEROUS combos of the 180 value area, including 180 itself in a few forms and nothing will trip the truck to start.  Everything else is just fine, but not the start. 

Can anyone shed some light on this please? I should have bought another 05...it was simple to do!

Thanks all.

One other question...does the (+) start wire have to be tied in along with the (-) second start wire in order to work?

As is, I have the one PURPLE / brown wire for the ACC/2nd start tied to each relay along with the resistor for each function.  The ACC wire from the RS unit goes to that relay and the START wire from the RS unit goes to the other relay....do I need to branch off that (+) start wire from the RS unit and tie it into the (+) start wire on the truck for this to work?

Thanks!
