Question type: Car Customization

Ready Remote Model# 23927
I've been using my factory remote for my alarm and locking and unlocking my doors and used my aftermarket Ready Remote separately just for the remote start. But, I have lost my factory Remote/key fob. The remote start works just fine but I don't even know where to start with making my Ready Remote key fob my all-in-one remote. example: Neg and Pos triggers, relays, resisters, etc.. etc.. I don't know where to begin! Also, read my first answer under my question for more details. Thank you!!

I have installed a Ready Remote Model # 23927. The remote starter works great. I only used the Remote Start Key Fob for the starting of my truck and used the factory key fob for the Arming and Disarming/Locking and Unlocking of my truck because it seemed fairly complicated to use the remote/key fob that Ready Remote has supplied. But I have recently lost (actually it was stolen) my factory remote/key fob that came with my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab 5.7L 4 wheel drive. I am now forced to turn the remote/key fob that Ready Remote has supplied as my main all-in-one remote/key fob for my truck. Which I prefer anyway because who wants to carry around excessive bulky remotes..? I have done TONS of research on the net, and I mean TONS!!! But know matter how close I seem to be getting the correct/needed instructions and info it's going to take to make my Ready Remote Lock/Arm and Unlock/Disarm my truck, I still don't know where to begin. There seems to be an endless amount of variables that I can't seem to come to an agreement with on if that's the route I need to take or not. For example: Neg or Pos Triggers, To use or not to use relays, Soldering in resisters with different ohms for locking vs unlocking...etc. etc.. This list goes "seems" to go on!! If you or anyone could be so kind as to point me in the correct direction and detailed instructions on how to do this...??? It seems as if I am maybe complicating things for the fact that all I am really doing is switching remotes/key fob from my factory to the new Ready Remote remote/key fob. I know that technically it's all already wired for this and is ready to go but, I will be using the Ready Remote circuitry/control module or brain instead of the one that came with my truck but, I would think that the Ready Remote would be able to just communicate with the exisisting circuitry/control module or brain...? I don't even know anymore!! Please help me! Thank you!!

When you turn on the car remotely it works for a moment and then stops
