- This video will give you a step by step walkthrough for installing proximity entry on a 2018+ JL or JT using the parts found at www.jlwranglerforums.com/foru...
Tools needed include:
T20 Torx
T25 Torx (Long)
T30 Torx
10mm deepwell socket
Masking tape
Interior panel tool
Please note that I already had the option code added on my Gladiator, and that is why it worked immediately. This is a very important step that can be read about at the above link.
Hope this helps! - Авто та транспорт
Thanks man. I got through all 3 doors in about 2 hours. No videos show the JL tailgate, but it's easy to figure out.
What a great video! So many DIY walkthroughs skip steps because they're "self-explanatory" ... and those are the steps that no-experience folks like me then panic at and struggle with! Thanks for taking the time to show each step in (probably for you) painstaking detail!
I'm happy it helped. I know what you mean.
This is the best, clearest and most well explained video I have seen. The most useful part to me was how to disconnect each connector type. Thank you very much for such a well done complete and thorough video!
Glad I could help! I've been out of it a while, but I'm excited to start some new projects.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU for actually showing how to unclip that wiring harness on the door panel. Mine was stuck and wouldn't release. Every other video didn't show it
Thank YOU so much!!! I have been looking everywhere on getting a proximic entry installed on my JL Sport S jeep. I appreciate you for making this video. You rock!! Thank you thank you.
Tackling this project today. This video gave me the comfort I needed to be willing to give it a go. Thank you in advance!
Good luck! It's a great upgrade.
Awesome. I am buying my leased jeep and I didn’t want to do any mods until I knew I was keeping it. Been wanting to do this for some time. I had it on other cars but just assumed it was standard on Jeeps. It’s one option I missed when shopping it out. If you can build a Lego set, you can do this mod. Going to use your video when I picked this mod up.
Thank you so much for this! I’m so mad I overlooked this feature when I bought my JT last weekend 😭😭
This along with installing the Auxiliary Switches (part of the Tow package) seems like they involve so much extra work that it’s a must have option from factory IMO. Enjoyed watching you do all this though - made it much simpler to tackle.
Awesome install! I’ve been following the forum on this and now can’t wait to tackle. Thanks for the video!
Thanks! The video was a little harder to make than the actual install was. The people on here make this stuff look easy, but with only a GoPro and no tripod, it was interesting trying to capture some stuff or work one-handed.
Do you mind sharing how you got the dealership to add the “code”. The forum is unclear as to what specifically needs to be added. A sales code or what. Any help would be appreciated.
I had a long journey getting the sales code added. The exact thing that has to be done is the dealer has to call their tech adviser or area manager to have them add the sales code "GXD" to your specific VIN. Then your local dealer has to perform a "restore vehicle configuration" in order to have the option take once it is in the Chrysler system as being attached to your VIN.
Since MOPAR doesn't sell a kit to do this the local dealers don't have the option of adding it at their level like remote start or aux switches, so they have to involve Chrysler. Apparently, there's a ticket in to get this delegated to them, but it hasn't happened yet. If they tell you all they see they can add is GXM, they probably aren't involving Chrysler.
As a note, not all dealerships will even attempt this, and the ones that do might have tech advisors that won't help out, so that's the trickiest piece of this puzzle until they gain the ability to do it 100% locally.
Thanks a million. Just did mine to the drivers door only. Works perfect
Oh nice where did you get the part and did you have to get it coded . I want to do my drivers door only too. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for this video. Great job!😊
Thanks for this, Jeep Rumbler! I'm a total amateur and got this done in under an hour. Dealer was able to add the GXD code today ($80), works great.
Glad it helped!
this video is so valuable. thanks for sharing this. still reading the thread. only on page 7. 23 pages long!!! phewwww. hope by the time i finish reading. i can decide whether i want a sport or sport s package. still studying thread and do have a 3day techauthority so. thank you for the knowledge you have shared so far. onto more reading! kudos bud
Glad it was valuable! To answer your question I just saw in my PM's, I was able to get it going on the Sport S's that I have, but haven't gotten back to the Sport of my buddies. I plan on making the jumpers for his harness and probably only doing the driver's side.
For anyone considering doing this there are a few things to know. My kit from Mopar was $450US with driver, passenger and rear door handles and harnesses. After you install everything it won't work until you program the Jeep, the dealer charged me an additional $200 to do that. Definitely worth it for us! Oh and one last thing, if you grab the handle and try to push the lock button it won't lock, you have to just press the button without touching the handle.
Thanks for the tip, just got a JT Rubicon, but didn't have the option on it. Is it possible to just have dealership do all of this for the combined price or would you recommend just installing it yourself then having the dealership program it, as you mentioned. It seems fairly straight forward, so either way I probably wouldn't mind.
@@MidKnight2142 A rubicon didn't have it? That's surprising, but I would go back to the dealer and tell them to add it. At the very least no charge for adding the code. The rubicon should def come with this option. My JL Rubicon did.
Great video! Wow, you make it look easy. Is there any place I can tap into a proximity signal to activate lights when I approach and before I touch the door handle?
So damn helpful you're awesome
Great video, thank you very much!
You are welcome!
Pro Tip: Run the pigtail around the outside of the window seat (the white plastic holder it goes into when down). I did not, and it pulled the plug (both sides) of the connector off the handle when the window went down all the way. Thankfully it snapped back on and did not pull out the wires.
Glad someone else noticed.
Very helpful video. Thanks for taking the time. Do you recommend a torque setting on the drill for the various bolts?
These are just body panel bolts. Just need to be tight and snugged. No need to torque them.
Hey great video! Could you please share the part number for the wiring harness? Thanks
This is game changing. I found the perfect Willys, but no proximity locks. I would rather have roll down windows than use the key fob manually. I was looking at an Overland just to get this feature. Any issues getting it flashed to accept the new install?
Do you have to program the key after the install? If so where or how do you do that?
Nice I would like to add power door locks and proximity to my JT and the tail gate.
How do you know if you already have the harness with the pigtail...without opening the doorcard?
Where did you purchase the part? Do you also have to change the door handle?
Yes you need the cap
Just finished installing my kit with you video! Do you know how to find the “sell code?” The dealership says they can’t do the “Flash Activation” without a “sell code” that should have been included with the parts.
I have a 2021 Gladiator Sport S and tired installing the passive entry system, took apart the door and one of the plugins does not fit! So bummed.
great video, very detailed. Do you know how to easily check whether we have the "new harness" without disassembling the doors?
There's a guide in the listed thread that explains how to see if you have the correct door pins.
Is it really necessary to undo the window glass? Couldn't you just leave the window all the way up for the install?
Thanks for the great video it will help my husband tremendously LOL! One question can the GXD code be added prior to installing handles and harness or does it have to be done after installation of those items.
It can be done at any time. It doesn't mess anything up in the meantime.
Do you have a video for the back gate on the JLU?
I noticed in another video that they had to turn the proxy on in the instrument cluster. And I noticed you just installed the door handles are all the proxies usually on?
Hey my dealer can’t activate or put in the code , instead when they tried my key fob could not lock or unlock the doors any more , does yr key fob work normal ?
Gathering all the parts and it seems 68299333AE is discontinued. Do you know of any way to work around that or maybe a replacement part #?
Thanks
Try AF instead of AE
Thank you for the video. But is it possible to get this done through the dealership?
No because some dealers have no idea this can even be done.
Important question and hopefully you answer me: what was the whole purpose of unscrewing those bolts from the window? It seems like it wouldnt matter on the install, looks like leaving it up would give you the work space you need to finish installing the hardness. That’s where i got confused. Please help.
I have read on the forums that the newer Jeep’s have green loctite that makes removing these bolts difficult. This was easiest for me, but some have reported success with leaving the window up.
How do you tell which harness you have installed?
The necessary harness will have an extra pigtail in the door that connects to the handle. You won't know which one you have till you take the door apart and look.
A word of caution when unscrewing the window mount. Use a ratchet to loosen it up first. My screws had loctite on them and snapped in half when I used the power tool.
What the point of removing glass? Why can't you just leave window rolled up? Juat got my parts in the mail and gonna install. Great video!
Hey, what about the Jeep-side wiring? Apparently, many JLs do not have the necessary additional wires in the Jeep-side plug to hook into the system? Or maybe I have understood that incorrectly?
I can make a video of the jumper system I used in my wife's Jeep if that's something you'd be interested in?
Congrats on the successful install. You mentioned during the install that maybe some Rubicons and Saharas may already have the harness installed. Do you know of way to check, before ordering? Thanks
Post #193 at this link has a good way to check when you look at your door harness! www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/proximity-door-locks-retrofit-install-instructions-parts-links-on-jl-wrangler.49241/page-13#post-1097529
I have a sport s max tow with remote start. Do I just need the handles or do I also need the harness. I saw somewhere that there is a possibility that the wiring is already there.
do u have news about ?? i’m looking for those kit 🥺🥺
You will need the harness, handles, and replacement cap. The wiring referenced is on the body side. Not in the door.
@@jeeprumbler I have a 2021 Sport S with max tow and bought the kit from Mopar and it does not work. One of the plugins is the wrong size. Took the whole door apart to find that out.
Is this an option to do on a 2021 JL Sports unlimited with the lane assist package? I've been told its not an option with that safety feature?
Should be fine as long as you get the harness that also has the plugs for the BSM sensors in the mirror.
How do you know if your getting the correct part. Is the harness sold separately?
Can you do just the driver door?
Yes you can.
Great Job! I am sorry if I missed this but...It looks like you got it to work without having to add the code at the dealer. I read the comments and there was talk of the dealer. Can you please clarify for me if you did or did not have to have the code added? Ad did you do all five doors? Thank you in advance. :)
Get a tazer and activate the feature from it
Sorry if it's already been asked but this is just plug and play? Do I not have to have anything programmed?
You do need programming from JSCAN, a Tazer, or the dealership.
May I ask - how much did the dealer charge you to add the code?
Unfortunately, the dealers around here are all expensive, and it was $160. It's about 15 minutes of work, especially since the dealer that updated my computer wasn't even the dealer that was able to add the code.
@@jeeprumbler who added your code ? Also do you know what machine he used to add the code ? My dealer is having a lot of problems to add the code , after they tried and failed my buttons on the key fob no longer work, so they now have my Jeep over a week now and clue less how to get back the key fob to work
You wouldn't happen to be close to North Louisiana would you? I would gladly pay you to install mine. The dealership said they would so I ordered & waited 2 months for it. Finally got to take to the dealership & they want no part of it.
Unfortunately not. Just finished up being gone for a while. If you haven't already, you oughta give it a go. You might surprise yourself with what you can get done.
What is the option code?
GXD
That harness replacement is a nightmare.
Wouldn't it have been easier to take the door off?
