Viper THCHD3 Plug & Play T-Harness (Chrysler/Dodge) for DBALL2 RSR

Skip the splice work plug in and go

Product Overview

The Viper THCHD3 is a plug-and-play T-harness interface designed specifically for installers and DIYers connecting a DBALL or DBALL2 databus module in select Chrysler, Dodge, and Ram vehicles from 2011 to 2014. Rather than cutting, splicing, and taping individual wires, the THCHD3 plugs directly into the vehicle's factory harness saving hours of bench time and significantly reducing the risk of wiring errors.

The THCHD3 is engineered for 3rd-generation DBALL/DBALL2 remote start and security system installations. It suits workshops handling fleet work on Ram 1500–3500 utes, as well as home installers fitting a security system to a Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger. Most installations are fully plug-and-play; however, some vehicles may require up to three additional wire connections depending on trim and configuration.

Features & Benefits

• Plug-and-play design: Eliminates the need to cut factory wiring, preserving vehicle integrity and resale value. Critical for professional workshops handling warranty-conscious customers.
• DBALL & DBALL2 compatible: Works across both generations of the Directed databus module, giving you flexibility across your install kit inventory.
• Smart Key vehicle support: Specific harness configurations accommodate factory Smart Key / proximity key systems, preventing common install failures on newer Dodge and Ram variants.
• Broad Chrysler platform coverage: A single harness covers Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Dart, Journey, and Ram 1500/2500/3500, reducing the number of SKUs a workshop needs to stock.
• Reduced install time: Plug-and-play connections on common platforms mean faster turnarounds, whether you're in a Perth workshop or doing a driveway install out in regional WA.
