Hi everyone. Before I get roasted, I did search for hours on here and the other forum and am having no luck. About a year ago I saw a specific post where someone confirmed that for a BH fob that has remote start, it also has the button soldered to the board that allows the tailgate release, so you can just order a fob shell or the button inlay and it should work without having to do a full fob swap and reprogramming. I imagine that would be the most popular search result since it sounds easiest but I can’t find anything anymore. Does anyone remember seeing that or confirm the details? I’m looking to do this. I’m in a 2020 BH level 2.

I’d also like to add the tailgate button in the upper console but I’m thoroughly confused on which process to follow. I have to console that has the pano roof, and all the other buttons filled except for the tailgate button. Do I really need to buy an entire upper console that has that button or is there really not a way to just pop the blank out and replace with the release button that Laramies+ have?

I've never seen any mention of the re.kte start fob having the button on the board for tailgate release. That wouldn't make sense because if that was the case, you would accidentally open tailgate if you hit the button on the side instead of middle. Just buy a fob with both buttons. I got mine off eBay for $40 and it's worked fine after having a locksmith program it
 
The points are on the BH remote all you have to do is solder the momentary switches in place, here a pic of the board
T/g tailgate, r/s remote start.

These switch will work I'll be soldiering in the 3x3.5x2 tomorrow
