Cold weather is known to effect the bypass antenna if it's not properly taped around the ignition cylinder.

Good to hear, I just got off the phone with Travis myself and he is sending me a new brain out at no charge. He said the some times the tach signal is so low that the unit does not pick it up, basically the brain is just jacked up, When I talked to Code alarm customer service they also send this could be the problem. So he is sending out a new brain on Monday and should get it by Wednesday of next week.

Hey Yoman and Ford Fx4, I know that Travis is a good guy to deal with. It seems as if you both have installed the starters yourselves.
With limited electrical knowledge, how easy would you rate installing the remote starter following Travis' directions and with it pre wired?

On a scale on 1 to 10 I'd give it a 6, following the directions as he gives you pictures of were all the wires go.

I would say #5.
Its just wiring cut, snap, etc.
If I were you, do the hunt for wires colors first all of it (pull wire out of twist wires) like prepare it
Most important is to read the instruction 2-3 times and look around your truck under steering, take your time! Before you start..
I ran into problem that it didn't start and called travis we couldn't figure out until he realized that the brain need to be ground lol and it works! It was on sunday evening.
It took me about 4 hrs with breaks, read again.
It was my first time and did a well!
Good luck

Updated!
Just got the bypass module by KCautosounds (Travis) it was new one as updated as better than old one.
I removed old bypass box and installed new one and its all back to normal!!
The new one has NO antenna cuz its wiring directly to factory ring PATS! its cool.
I want to big thank Travis for sent me a free replace bypass module!
