Adding Passive Entry: How-to

This is all you need and of course buy license to alpha obd


Got all the handles, caps, and antenna ordered. Last thing I need is Alfaobd and maybe an OBD2 reader as mine says OBD so not sure that one will work.

I have the older version of the one above. Its the same thing but says its OBD and not OBD2. I already have the Kaodtech cable though. Just curious if my old obd will work on my truck.

Well I posted the Bluetooth version for some reason you can’t find the non Bluetooth. If it’s that one your golden

Ive bought the parts, jimmys harnesses, and the Kaodtech cable so far and im in the hole for $405. I still need to buy alfaobd so total investment would be $455 for me.
 
I noticed in an earlier post this will work on 2019 2500's, and of course follow part numbers specific to my 2019 2500 VIN given i believe handles are different than the 1500's; my question is the rear antenna...an earlier post mention the dummy plug is already in the 2500; so i don't need a 3rd harness from jimmy? Then jimmy, i only need 2 harnesses please.

I’m still missing information on 2500+ rams that I’m not able to lay eyes on. We do know that the rear antenna connector should already be there plugged into a dummy plug, but should still be looked at to make sure. The door harnesses are also different because there’s an in-line connector inside the door for a jumper harness just for the door handle. I need to know if that is there or not, but it’s going to require you to check some things out to see how far those door handle wires are populated.
 
If there is anyone within a 250 mile radius of Central Texas that would be willing and able to do this for me I would make it worth their while.
 
thanks Jimmy, i'll pull the door panel (as soon as i can; hopefully this week) check and post some pics. I'll check rear bumper also and take pics.
 
Well I started late but will jump back on it in the morning I’m sure I will have tons of questions

Ok I have my door on the driver side back on I haven’t done anything with the alpha obd just yet but the driver door switch will not operate the front two windows folding mirrors only the driver side the left mirror or unlock/lock doors....What could i have possibly done wrong?

I routed mine the 'factory way', but I used the factory harness. If I had not, and used a custom wire harness for the handle only as it seems you have done, I would have ziptied this custom wire harness (yours) along the factory harness and then routed it in the clips as the factory would have - basically making it 'a part of' the factory harness. Now your solution may work, but if the wire becomes unglued it seem it could get caught in the window and cause a mess.

How would you have attached at this point coming from the front of the harness

Ok found the clips to route to individual harness it’s easy to miss them.

Did you figure out the issue yet?

Has anyone had issues with Tasca parts obtaining these parts for the mod? I ordered them about 16 days ago and got one email asking if they were for a intentional mod because they didnt match my vin. I replied and said yes please process the order. That was 12 days ago and still radio silence.

I just called the on my order to ensure we were all good. They helped me edit the order and I received the parts efficiently. I’d call. Again, they were quite helpful.
 
Think I ordered from mopar wholesale parts. Ordered Sept 1st, got tracking # yesterday. I didnt enter my vin, I new it would throw a flag on the antenna so I didnt bother.
