This is my first post, so apologize ahead of time if this question has been answered, although I have looked.

I have a 2003 model DEI alarm coupled with a Valet remote Start in a 96 dodge ram truck. The Alarm remote activates the Remote Start, but the range is less than acceptable. I purchased the DEI 542 Range extender remote, but I am having trouble finding a plug on the alarm "brain "module to connect to . The alarm module has a ft. long wire coming from inside for the antenna, but I really need to extend it. Will the DEI antenna I have work with this alarm, since it has the four port plug, or do I need to find another, or try different method? Thanks for your help! Greg

Not right off hand i don't know. I will have to get under the dash tonight and look. I was under the impression that the connections were mostly the same across the board on DEI products.

one of my alrams uses a 4 pin antenna, and the other a 2 pin is why I asked. both are DEI

The antenna is a four pin, but only has a green. red, and black (3 ) wires. I am having trouble finding where to plug it to my alarm brain tho. Thanks!

So if there is no port, what are my options to extend the range of the alarm remote?

Well since that would be a pain and kinda senseless, what would happen if i took the green and red wires from the antenna and soldereed them to the antenna wire coming from the alarm box, then grounded the black wire from the antenna?

I dunno! Never tried it!

It's only one core of wire inside that insulation anyway, why not just take a strand of wire and extend it! Who knows, it just might work!
