Roadking98 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Bought a 2014 dj yesterday, build sheet says remote start. The nav radio has remote start features but my fobs don't have the remote start button.What am I missing? Wrong fobs? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 sounds like a trip to the dealership to confirm that you do have it and then if you cant get the right fob from who you bought your journey you will have to buy one good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I agree. Where did you buy it? You should question that seller, or take it to a Dodge dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadking98 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Was bought at carmax and they didn't know. Looks like off to the dealership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Should still have balance of factory warranty in effect depending on the mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 That isn't going to get the OP a new set of FOBs . . . somewhere along the way the original owner replaced them and he didn't get the ones with the start button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 A lot of cars have the option to use another button or combination of buttons on a non-remote start fob...is this a possibility for the DJ? My dealer installed an aftermarket starter with a 3000' range and audible feedback, so I have an extra fob slightly larger than a quarter attached to my oem fob...

bramfrank Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 As far as I'm concerned, the fact that the radio has the remote start options indicates it has the sales code is enabled . . . . and the build sheet claims it has remote start according to the OP.Somewhere along the way the FOBs were changed - and the basic FOB may (or may not) have different firmware than the one with the remote start feature. But it doesn't have the buttons to control it . . .So either way, the OP will need new FOBs and maybe even a new RF hub, because maybe a dealer did a repair along the way and installed the non-remote hub to effect the repair for some reason - those kits come with FOBs and cost about $250 (you can find them for less and, considering how much FCA charges just for a single FOB, buying a kit might make sense).He'll need to figure out what he has and what he needs to get where he wants to be; FOBs only or whether he also needs an RF hub - perhaps there's a record somewhere of a warranty claim on the hub, which might explain why the vehicle claims to have remote start but the FOBs don't . . . . it could be that the vehicle's original owner simply lost the FOBs and they bought the cheapest replacement (as in without the remote start buttons - or maybe they didn't realise it had remote start . . . who knows?).Either way this isn't going to be something resolved without new hardware.
