2013+ CDJR Factory Remote Start Programmer

Factory Remote Start for Your 2013+ Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM, No Dealership Required

Your CDJR vehicle came within reach of having factory remote start. The hardware supports it. The key fob is ready for it. But without the right sales code flashed into your vehicle's computer, that button does nothing.

That's the frustration hundreds of CDJR vehicle owners run into every year, whether during blazing summers or freezing winters. They buy the parts, show up to the dealership, and get turned away or handed a bill that wipes out every dollar they saved going the DIY route. The OBD Genie Factory Remote Start Programmer from Infotainment.com cuts the dealership out of the equation entirely.

This plug-and-play tool writes the official XBM sales code directly into your vehicle's factory build profile through the OBD2 port. No appointment. No labor fees. No risk of losing your custom settings mid-flash. Just a permanent, factory-integrated remote start that works exactly the way Mopar intended.

What You Get With Factory Remote Start Activation

• Genuine factory integration: XBM sales code is written to your vehicle's BCM, not patched around it
• Works with your existing Mopar key fob remote start button
• Permanent activation that survives future dealer software updates
• Included SGW bypass block for 2018+ vehicles with Security Gateway Module protection
• Compatible with 2013+ Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM vehicles
• No subscription, no ongoing fees, no smartphone app required

How the OBD Genie Remote Start Programmer Works

The installation takes under five minutes and requires zero mechanical experience.

1. Set your vehicle to Accessory mode (engine off, electronics on)
2. Wait one minute
3. Plug the OBD Genie programmer into your OBD2 port
4. Wait for the green light or listen for the horn to confirm activation
5. Your factory remote start is ready to use

That's the entire process. Once the programmer completes the flash, the XBM code is permanently embedded in your vehicle's profile. You can unplug the tool and store it away.

For 2018 and newer vehicles, the included SGW bypass block handles the Security Gateway Module that would otherwise block the programmer from communicating with the BCM. This is not a workaround. It is a purpose-built solution designed specifically for this installation.

Why CDJR Owners Choose the OBD Genie Programmer Over the Dealership

Dealerships require Chrysler TechAuthority access and WiTech diagnostic software to add sales codes to a vehicle's build profile. Most will decline to perform this service on owner-supplied parts, and those that do agree routinely charge between $120 and $250 in labor for what amounts to a few minutes of software work.

Beyond the cost, dealer BCM flashing carries a real risk: previously configured vehicle features, including trailer brake settings, backup camera calibrations, and other custom options, can reset to factory defaults during the process. Recovering those settings often requires a third-party tool and additional time.

The OBD Genie programmer adds only the XBM sales code. It does not overwrite other settings, does not require access to your vehicle's full configuration, and does not touch anything outside the scope of the remote start activation.

Once flashed, the feature is registered as a factory option in your vehicle's build profile. That means it will not be accidentally removed if your dealership performs a software update down the road.
