Just finished installing a Viper 5301 with PKALL. Cost was $110 (80 remote start, 30 bypass) and a few hours of my time. Need to hook up a couple more options but it starts the truck and works the locks so I'd say fully functional. Much needed since it has been hitting the 20°s in Texas at night lately
I spent the extra time to solder everything in instead of using t-taps and splice connectors which most shops are going to use to get you in and out.

Not sure about that particular model but I have the python 5704 and it works flawlessly. Did the install myself also. I used the DBALL. Less cut and splicing. Must have the proper adapter to update the firmware though.

I'm guessing that's just the remote start unit without the alarm? Because when I installed mine it was significantly a lot more wiring since I had the alarm. I btw did y'all get snow on Christmas? I saw cars with snow on them on my way from belton to San Antonio. Lol

I ended up getting an Avital 4103 (no alarm) installed by a local high end radio shop. I like it a lot. I just need to remember to turn the heat all the way to Hot and blower up! It is so nice to have a warm truck early in the morning, especially when I load up my son to take him to daycare. Well worth the money spent.
