Aftermarket keyless entry/alarm

[01_Cummins_4x4]

I just got my 01 Dodge Ram 2500 Sport QCLB HO Cummins 4x4 a month ago, and it didn't come with keyless entry. I looked at the CTM and it is the single plug module and not the premium unit needed for keyless entry.

 

I mostly just want keyless entry and an alarm on the pickup, and don't care about remote start since it has a manual trans.

 

I know of Viper, Compustar, and other brands of keyless entry/alarm systems, but which one would be good without breaking the bank.

I have compustar keyless/remote start on my truck and my 06 mustang with a stick, no alarms though.  They both cost me about $400 installed.  The unit in the truck has worked perfectly for the last three years.  The one in the car works, but for some reason when I use it my tail lights don't work.  If I shut the car off and start it normally they work again so it hasn't bothered me too much.  It may also be related to my aftermarket tail lights, that car doesn't seem to care for LED's anyhow.

@Mopar1973Man Which Remote Start system are you using in your pickup?

 

I kind of want remote start, but it seems most are not compatible with diesel engines with manual transmissions.

None. Never had one.

I thought you posted that you can remote start your pickup from within your house.

 

I guess I misunderstood that maybe you were just able to monitor it via your Quadzilla while it was warming up and defrosting the snow off of it.

 

Does anybody have a recommendation for keyless entry/car alarm - Viper, Compustar, Avital, Crimestopper, etc?
