Passive entry on my new 2026 1500 Ram

[rocks33]

Just a simple question before I call my dealer... I was under the impression that all 2026 Ram 1500's have this feature. I have the Bighorn level 2 equip. group but assumed it was a feature on all Bighorns.

No, it isn't. I'm not sure about 2025+, but the older model years didn't when have it as an option on the Big Horn. Your build sheet that you got with the truck will tell you if you have it or not.

Edit: looked at the builder online and I don't see that as an option on the Big Horn.

I have a 2019 Bighorn, level 2, no passive entry, can't speak for 2026 models.

From what I found out, only Laramie and up have it. I have the same truck as you but a 2025.

Not standard on big horn L2 trucks

Not standard on 2026 Bighorn level 2. Much to my frustration as an oversight when I bought it. Has anyone been able to add it to a 2026? 2 different dealers say it can't be done - for whatever that means.

Yes, it's been added and there is info on here on how to do it. But it isn't as easy as it was on the 2019 to 2024. Requires a lot more equipment to program.

Last I checked, it will also require a visit to the dealer. Others can correct me if I missed it, but I don't think anyone has managed to get a "proxy alignment" done outside of a dealership or purchasing the same equipment/subscriptions a dealer would have.

In a nutshell, proxy alignment makes the computers check each other and load any new/different instructions/changes/configurations, such as adding new modules and turning settings on for passive entry.

One of many posts here, but it's pretty informative:

I build the harnesses, I’m not sure if you can do just one door handle for it to work.
The dealer can’t program the passive entry feature, they can only do the proxy alignment after you do the programming with alfaobd.

Delmonico Red:
Left handle- 7UP87NRVAD
Right handle- 7JY48NRVAH
Left cap- 6CV50NRVAC
Right cap- 6CV52NRVAB

I would like to know the price for the harness
