Adding Passive Entry: How-to

All I want is driver door to work... '21 White 3500, would like to keep black door handle as to not need to replace others to match. has anyone done this with BRILLIANT BLACK PEARL or DIAMOND BLACK CRYSTAL PEARL and does it not stand out?
Pictures with side of truck showing both handles would be appreciated.

I know it’s possible this has been answered but is the install and parts needed the same for my 22 ram 1500 as it was for my 21 ram 1500?
 
I have a 2020 1500. I am a bit confused about the rear passive entry antenna wiring. I have not seen pictures or a diagram. The antenna comes with nothing on it. Does the TE Connectivity plug just plug into the antenna? How do you install the wires into the connector that goes into the antenna? And how do you install the wires from the antenna connector into the harness plug? Thanks for any help!

Yes I saw that and read it several times but it does not say how to make the harness for the antenna. How do you get the wires to stay in the plug and connector? Etc

Configuring the BCM for passive entry with AlfaOBD.

Grab your SGW bypass and locate the Security Gateway.


Next, plug your OBD interface into the OBD port, which is located on the bottom edge of panel under the steering column. You should have no issues locating it, as it’s the only exposed connector in that area and will match up with your interface. If you haven’t done so already, set up your OBD interface with your tablet or computer via a Bluetooth or wireless connection.

Which SGW bypass and OBD interface do you recommend? I have seen the SGW bypass for as much as $80.00 and the OBD interface as low as $15.00. Thank you for any help!
 
I used the mx+ obd interface but maybe someone can chime in with something cheaper

2019 & 2020 Rear Antenna Install

This will help guide you through the basic process of adding the rear antenna to a 2019-2020 5TH-Gen 1500. Whether you use your own wiring, or replace the entire rear fascia harness, the antenna location will be the same. If using the factory harness, it’s going to be plug and play so just remove and replace the entire thing. If you’re just adding the 2 wires needed, then follow the steps below.

To add the two wires and connector for the rear antenna, start by finding the connector below, which is where the rear fascia connector plugs in to the body harness. It's right above the rear resonator on the driver's side.

To unplug it, pull up on the little yellow tab and then the red piece will slide out. If the connector doesn’t pop off, you haven't pulled the red piece out enough. It will disengage on its own once you slide it out far enough.

Once unplugged, remove the first couple of clips from the frame so you have some slack, then remove the black cover from the backside of the rear fascia connector. You should be looking at something like this, and we will be working with terminal positions 19 and 20. Position 19 is the "PASSIVE ENTRY ANTENNA 5 SIGNAL" and position 20 is the "PASSIVE ENTRY ANTENNA 5 RETURN". Refer to the photo at the end of this post which shows the antenna connector and which wire is which.

There will probably be little plugs in the terminal positions, so you need to push them out. If you have a tool for depinning connectors, slide it in the terminal positions from the face side of the connector (photo directly below) and the plugs will push right out. If you do not have one, a small piece of wire or a paperclip will likely work just as well.

Once the plugs are out, before you can insert the terminals from your new harness, there is a plate that needs to be slid out of the way. In the photo below you can see it slid out of the connector, to the opposite side of the one you moved to unplug it. A small flathead should be all you need to get it started and then just slide it out far enough to access the positions you need.



If I put the connector in the wrong terminal how can I remove it? Will a stiff wire work?
