    has anyone had any issues with this setup? I went with the one way basic remote start and added the smart start module, however mine has not been reliable, lots of times I hit the start button from my iPhone and it either gives me an error about cell coverage or it says it started but when I go out it it isn't running. I had it back to the dealer once already and they moved the module up farther in the dash but still having same issue. Not happy with it either way so thinking about either replacing the module(there cost) or just going back to a 2 way.

    I'd think dealer (or the installer they sub-contracted to) should be handling warranty service with the SmartStart manufacturer and wouldn't be charging you anything to make it work right.

    Looks like it will be $200 bucks to go to a 2 way but whatever, at least I know it should work better and I will know if the truck is still running by the timer on the remote.
