Just picked up this 2002 Durango and I'm concidering a remote starter. This thing has a factory anti-theft system, how difficult will it be to install a remote starter? Thanks!

With no experience, give yourself a day and you should be able to get it done. It is not too complicated, but it does take time your first time. Get a good wire diagram and prep your wires before hand and it should go rather smoothly. You will need a tansponder bypass kit and for your door locks you will need two relays and two resistors(your wire diagram will give specific numbers) If you have a factory alarm as well you will need a relay and a resistor to disarm it. Here is a wire diagram: Ask any more questions you have. The transponder bypass is actually very easy, but it takes time the first time like I said.
