All let me start by saying hello
I also have purchased a 2020 Big horn with level 2 keyless go but no proximity entry. I am a technician at a ram and Jeep dealership. Had. Customer with a wrangler Sahara that added door handles and harnesses to his Jeep brought in for programming I had to call Detroit to get them to add sales code to vin list so I could restore vehicle configuration for him it worked
I have had sales code added to my vin list and in process of installing parts to my own truck will let everyone know what I ended up having to purchase and what I needed to do make work sales code was GXD and almost an act of Congress to get added
I would happily pay labor time for you to add GXD to my vin database so I could do a restore and receive config.

Dude! If this works, I'll drive to you and pay you for everything. I'm sure others will, too... you can make a nice side business from that lol

if we had a process to have the sales code added in the system, then any local dealer could technically do a "restore" and you'd pick up the changes.

Rear bumper antenna allows proximity based unlocking of tailgate - ie walk up to locked truck with fob in pocket and press button on tailgate and it will open. You can add this now or later.

Had to replace front door handles along with end caps and door wIring harnesses add sales code GXD dealership tech rep added it to vin list as I did not have the ability because it’s not an accessory kit from mopar
Part numbers will vary depending on color of vehicle and the way the truck is equipped I can help any of you get part numbers needed based off vin have access to Star parts

So as an example I have a 2020 black night edition Big Horn, level 2, what would I need part wise to make it work/General parts list for us?
