I made the same mistake!! I had it with my 2015 Rebel and assumed it came with my 2019 Longhorn Night edition, level 2 equipment package. Good luck, i'm also searching for it as well.

Good luck. Where did you purchase the handles?

Any updates? Still looking to help out where I can. Just let me know what is needed.
We are still not working. We don’t have a way to update the RF Hub. Myself and another member have also tried working with our dealers, and they were also unable to update the RF hub. The dealer software will not permit adding this option to a vin not originally built with it. And currently, there are no products on the market that I’m aware of, that would permit us to update the RF Hub outside of a dealer environment.
mike_ct is correct. The problem is when you attempt to update a new rf hub with the required info supplied by alfaobd to the bcm, the first thing that happens is you are required to connect to witech, which then imports the stock vehicle info at FCA database for your Vin and sends it to the RF Hub. If it did not do that, we could make it work. Ideally FCA/Mopar comes up with an accessory kit similar to a remote start kit which would allow the dealer to add an accessory code to your vehicles Vin package. Then it would work. That is how a Mopar remote start is added. Add the needed hard parts, add the code to the dealer installed options and update the vehicle. Then it would work.

This is the same issue I ran into a year ago trying to add folding mirrors to my truck. The dealer wasn't able to add the needed sales codes to my vin.
It must be a Mopar accessory before they can add a sales code to a vin.
Hello RAM CARES are you listening?????

First post here. Picked up my 19 Big Horn today thinking the same thing..."Keyless Go" isn't what they represent it to be. It's listed on the sticker. $50k and I still have to dig out my fob? I'm all in if a solution is available.
Nothing available yet. I do believe there may be an aftermarket option available
I also have a 2019 Bighorn and would like this option, I have been talking to the dealer manager from where I purchased it and he is saying quote "GXD Remote proximity keyless entry and it is only available on Laramie and higher models", he also said that after talking to the service manager, it could be done but would have to confirm it with his head tech after the holidays and cost would be 'substantial'. I will keep you all posted as I have an appointment to get some maintenance done next week and will know more then.
Does anyone have a list of parts that are required?
Thanks for any help.
Happy Holidays
The biggest issue with all of this is getting the sales code GXD added to your option list. A lot of options can be added and the codes are added by the dealer. This option so far is not available to be added. The hardware part is easy. You need 2 door handles, 2 door handle caps, an RF Hub probably, and wire the doors from the handles to the door post. The wiring is in place from the door post to the RF Hub already. Or you could wire all the way from the handle to the RF Hub. Again if we could get FCA or Mopar to come up with an accessory kit, that would solve the problem because the GXD code would need to be added. Do not do anything unless you are sure you can get the sales code added first.
There is a guy no longer on the forums but active on the Facebook group that had it done with aftermarket parts on a Rebel. It is possible, just not sure how much it cost or what all was involved. I believe he installed security, remote start, and keyless/proximity entry all at the same time.
It has nothing to do with the sport package. Its a trim level ,Laramie and up deal, if you want it.

Here in Canada, Sport is a trim level which sits between Big Horn and Rebel. Big Horn doesn't get keyless entry, but Sport does.
Not in the USA .
WE are hoping that somehow FCA will let us add the sales code for the passive entry. Everything else is straight forward. I would complain when you get a survey from FCA. Maybe it will help get Mopar accessories to come up with a kit which will allow the needed GXD code to make it work. The only other alternative is is someone in the after market comes up with something or possibly some kind of bcm/rfh trick to do this.
