Adding Passive Entry: How-to

[Moparian]

Ok so it looks like I am going to be upgrading to a 4x4 BTS soon.... I already have the parts for my current truck but it’s ceramic gray and I don’t believe you can get body color handles. I was planning on wrapping the two handles I have and the rear ones to match.... I’m just wondering if I need different harnesses than the ones I have. Anybody able to look that up if I provide the new vin and my existing part numbers?

So ? Everyone doing this mod to there nonpassive entry trucks. Do you a have 2020 rams that are doing this or does it work for the 2019 as well? I hear there's different wiring. .thanks

Successfully modded my 2019. Door harnesses are different for the 19’s and 20’s. I used Jimmy07’s harnesses and they are good as OEM.

I did my rear antenna last night for my 2020 and it matched 100%. Will do doors this evening.

Okay I’m stuck and need some help. Having a hard time getting this removed and even when I remove it am I going to have enough extra slack to install the two wires?


also this routing okay for the wire? Along door behind track?

push the connector back in and then press in the bottom clips first, then the top. It will come out easier. Yes you will have room with the wires once that plug is pulled out

I used the harnesses from @Jimmy07 and ran them next to the factor harness from that connector all the way to the door handles using zip ties.

Alrighty holy h that was fun! got it all done! System is working! My 12" Nav System isnt loading Uconnect or the Doors/Locks Settings page? I let it sit for 15mins, did 3 cycles through it. Should I remove the battery again or just do a few more engine cycles?

If it’s not loading Uconnect usually it takes a bit longer. I think the NAV systems take longer to load all the apps.

12" NAV here... took a few hours and cycles. I never disconnected the battery.

Thanks for all the effort and information. Has anyone tried it with the matte black Built to Serve handles? If so do you have the numbers? Thanks

I think the BTS has the tradesman handles so I don’t think there is a matching set that has the proximity pad. I’m probably going to wrap the handles to match the ceramic gray so any handles should work. If you want black then the diamond black handles are your only option I believe

Should be easy enough to paint them to match.

I guess I could get the Patriot Blue ones that are offered although the matte handles have really grown on me.

Is it normal for the passenger side to unlock the truck but won't lock the truck when the button is pressed? Driver Side locks and unlocks just fine.

No mine both work the same. Sometimes i noticed though immediately after unlocking you must wait a second or two before lovking. Hope that helps

Thats what it was! It worked today when giving it a second lol.

Has anyone added it to the rear door handles?

It can be done, I think you just have to tap the front door wires and run them to the rear door and get the correct handle.

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.
