I am planning to install a Remote starter on my 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan. Is there any issue with this with the engine, starter or the battery after installing it ? Thank you very much.

Too hard to tell with newer cars. I would be very weary of doing this yourself. Your keys require specific signals for the ignition. The security may not like something you do and keep the vehicle from starting even with the key in the ignition.

What I mean is, if I go to a after market remote starter installer (not from the dealer) would there be any issue with the engine, starter and the battery? Thanks.
