Adding passive entry

[z0n3]

Subbing to finish reading from page 15. The last post seems promising. I bought a 2020 Rebel in April and because the salesman was limited contact, he was not able to go over the truck and I assumed that keyless entry was passive.

They have found a way to do this and there is a full on write up on how to add it now. Its located here https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/adding-passive-entry-how-to.22274/

Does not look like that includes the rear antenna, so that is not really a complete kit for most trucks and will generate error codes and the door lock not work properly

Or just buy Jimmys pre-made wires, and individual parts and pay less than $300 for the full kit with rear antenna.

than of course you need the bypass module, alpha obd, obdII reader.

I went with the Nismopar kit for my 19 2500. Had a friend get the sales code added then ordered the kit to make sure it could be done. Had another friend relearn the BCM. Also added Remote start. All factory parts so will have no warranty issues.

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.

I was hoping someone had a fix for this as well...my 2016 Scatpack had it and it cost $10k less than my 2019 Ram 1500...just stupid on FCA to not include this when someone is spending $50k plus on a new vehicle.

What do you mean?
I ton of us upgraded our trucks with passive entry systems....

Oaafff, faawwwkk!!! I guess I took for granted that it was standard or included in the LVL2 package

You've got to get a Laramie or above to get Keyless & Go in a DT from the factory.

Obviously, I got that much at this point. What's a DT, tho?

That's the model designation for the 2019+ "All-New" RAM 1500 (5th generation). The 4th generation (up through 2018 and the 2019+ 'Classic') has the model designation DS.

For all the info you need on this upgrade, Go to this thread:

Adding Passive Entry: How-to

If you've seen the original thread on adding passive entry, HERE, you are likely well aware of the issues with getting it to work on the newer trucks that didn’t come with it from the factory. This thread will walk you through getting it to work on the 5th gen DT’s (and the HD trucks) just as it...

Hi,

I am a longtime lurker and very thankful for all the research and efforts to resolve this problem. I was hoping that someone could verify the PNs needed for a 2019 RAM 2500 Bighorn in Bright White? I think I have pulled the correct PNs as it appears the HDs have a singular handle assembly with no separate cap? The PNs I get are:

68402181AB -Door Harnesses x2
1UJ81GW7A1 - Left Door Handle Assembly
1UJ86GW7A1 - Right Door Handle Assembly
68375990AC - Rear Bumper Receiver

I have AlphaOBD, the security link, and BT dongle as I am planning on adding TTPMS and Heated/Ventiliated seats. May also try to add rain sensing wipers.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
