Hi, I have the same vehicle.

I’ve just put a DWTECH ST-960 Smart System push button+remote start in it. I did it by an installer. However, we ran into some problems with ACC on key switch. Apparently the system needs to be between ACC, START and KEY SENSE wires, and one cut key needs to be in ACC position, but the problem was in WJ you cannot drive in ACC because of the steering wheel lock. We ended up putting the system between IG1, and use relay to cut off IG2. The system works, but I get some error codes: P1489 and P1490.

Bottom line, if you stick to remote start it would be fine since in most systems, you need to put your key in the cylinder after you get in. It was not the case for me, since my alarm does not need the factory key at all. You just carry the fob.
