Adding Passive Entry: How-to

Hey Tropigator, I see your in Pompano, hello from Sunrise. Were you able to get the mod done? If not maybe I can help, I'm planning on doing the mod soon and was hoping to at least get a feel for it or do it together with someone.

If anyone else is in South Florida and wants to do this I would be happy to participate.
Hi Nozzleman, I was out of town for Thanksgiving and just saw this post. I had bought all of the parts back in late Oct/early Nov, but when I had time to do it the weather was crappy. I may try to start on it tomorrow. Did yoy
No, I haven't even purchased the parts yet unfortunately. Thanks for reaching back out to me. I'm a little sad over it, but I'm probably going to wait until January to do mine, a few other things have come up.

Ok, I will let you know how it goes....it looks like we have same truck ... white and night edition.
get yours done?
 
I actually bought it just like that, Massey Yardley got me a great deal. I love the truck, the only thing I wish it had was the keyless entry. I guess we'll both have it soon.

I have the White Night Edition as well. Would either of you mind sharing the part numbers for the door handles you used? TIA

Post #7 has all the part numbers. Mine is bright white and I posted the ones I used.
 
This is all amazing and daunting. Anyone in the Bay Area CA that would be willing to do mine for a fee?
 
Awesome thread, thanks for all the hard work guys. Going to order that harness from Jimmy and the parts right away. Can I get some help on the right parts if anybody has done a 2020 2500?
Cant seem to find the right door caps or how to verify which color is the right one.

I think this is the right door handles I need


2 Harness from Jimmy (need to confirm if I need trunk harness for antenna as well)
Left handle door cap (Cant find the right part for 2020 2500)
Right handle door cap (Cant find the right part for 2020 2500)

The 2500 handles are different (not 2-piece). Assuming you already have body color handles, these are your front body color proximity handles:
Front left- 1UJ81MBJAI
Front right- 1UJ86MBJAI
Rear antenna- 56046957AA
The rear antenna connector should already be there for you, but double check anyway.

Sorry I just realized my handles are the plastic black color. Not the same color as my truck. Do you know the part # for those? Also can you clarify, all I need is the front left, front right and rear antenna and 2 of your harnesses? I wont need the door caps?

Proximity handles are not available in textured black like you have. You would need all four handles body color (if you want them all to match). There’s no caps used for the HD handles. These are the part numbers you would need:
Front left handle- 1UJ81MBJAI
Front right handle- 1UJ86MBJAI
Rear left handle- 1GH19MBJAD
Rear right handle- 1GH18MBJAD
Rear antenna- 56046957AA
 
For those with the HD’s that complete this, if you don’t post up part numbers for handles in the main thread, if you don’t mind, please message me with that info along with any issues you ran into and I will update the parts list in the beginning. If someone wants to go so far as to document the process on the HD’s, there’s still a couple empty posts that can be used to put that info together for everyone.
 
Anybody that has done this and swapped the factory door harnesses in, I’m looking to buy a set of your old door harnesses for a side project. PM me if you have the old set that you want to sell.
 
Here are some part numbers to get people started. These should work on both 2019 and 2020 models. Harnesses are going to be more specific based on your options, or you can just add the 2 wires and plugs to your existing stuff and save a good bit of money.

Double check the description if you use these numbers to order stuff and make sure it's correct. If you find a mistake please let me know so I can correct it.

I just completed mine including both front doors and rear antenna (all works perfectly, no errors, no issues) and I have similar truck to Mayhem, 2020, White Bighorn, Crew Cab, 6'4" bed, Night Edition, 4x4, 33 gal tank, 3:21 gears, L2 interior, 12" display with Navi and can confirm the brite white parts listed above worked perfectly. Thank You to Mayhem and Jimmy and others who contributed to getting this done. I used above part numbers and Jimmy's 3 harnesses, KaodTech Bypass and Alpha ODB, GREAT JOB!

Glad to hear it worked out for you with no issues. I actually just traded my Bighorn in on a ‘21 Laramie that had the PE and a few other options I wanted already included, but I still plan on tracking this thread and should get some additional info posted for the HD folks over the next few weeks when I get some down time.

For those that have wondered or asked about it, I do plan on getting the PE added and functioning on the rear doors as well, so stay tuned if that’s something you’ve been wishing you could add.

Can't wait for rear door option!!!

What is the overall cost of this project?
I just ordered everything last week. I paid $311 (included tax and shipping) for all parts - 2 handles, 2 handle caps, rear antenna, and the 3 harnesses that Jimmy07 makes. I already owned alfaobd, bypass , and obdlink mx to do the programming.
 
Does this same mod work for the 2021? I just bought a 2021 Built to Serve edition and was curious if anyone has tried this on a 2021. Also my handles are the flat black plastic ones, does anyone know the part #’s I would need to purchase. Appreciate any help/advice I can get. Thanks

It should work the same on the ‘21’s. The PE handles aren’t available in the textured black plastic that I’m aware of, so you would have to color match or do the painted black ones.
 
just curious if anyone on here has attempted to buy the new passive entry handles and used a Dremel to cut out the square and then swapped the hardware into the textured black handles. Also has anyone had any issues with the dealership revoking their warranty bc of this?

I don’t know that cutting and trying to swap parts is doable, but with enough determination, who knows. What color is your truck? I’ve got the original non-pe handles off my truck I traded, I’d be willing to sacrifice one to see if they are even able to be disassembled without ruining them.

As for the warranty, if you just add the harnesses from Jimmy07, you’re not really doing much to any of the original wiring, and it would have to be proven that whatever you did was the specific cause of failure. It’s not going to void your whole warranty, I imagine it would fall under the same lines of adding exhaust or air intakes which don’t void warranty coverage unless they specifically caused a problem.
