I have the 8 speed auto (the only option on my 2019 sport) I think this was more about protecting the dealers liability (when it comes to remote start and manual) than the actual programming & functionalityI tried to order the remote start kit for my 2021 JLS 6 speed and the dealer said it isn't compatible even though I just wanted to use the lock functionality. So if you have the manual trans. you may have to go down another path.
@RubenZ as a power lock installer "authority" do you think this install is feasable ?Awesome!
Did you find a solution? I have the same issue. I believe we can use a Viper or similar system that runs about $100.I tried to order the remote start kit for my 2021 JLS 6 speed and the dealer said it isn't compatible even though I just wanted to use the lock functionality.

I gave up. Honestly I just got used to manually unlocking them and have moved on to other upgrades.Did you find a solution? I have the same issue. I believe we can use a Viper or similar system that runs about $100.
Thanks. I am starting to lean that way too. $600+ dollars for power door locks seems a bit much.I gave up. Honestly I just got used to manually unlocking them and have moved on to other upgrades.
I already find the Jeep fob to be too big so it was a deal breaker to carry another fob. However, if you want to go this route there is a good write up on this forum somewhere. If you need the link lmk.
I saw the post on the remote start unit and was tossing the idea around of getting it just to try but decided against it as I would hate to waste the funds potentially. So I spoke with the dealer around the corner from me and the parts department gave me two #'s that they said are needed for the Keyless Enter-n-Go option (keyfobs to unlock the doors). I am hesitant to believe the Telematics Module is needed as it ties to the UConnect module and at best it may be an upgraded unit to what is already installed for the UConnect3 system I already have. The UConnect 4 / 5 units that come with the 7" and 8" displays allow for you to use the UConnect App to remotely lock and unlock the vehicle. My suspicion is that the dealer gave me this part as one option though not the one I am after. However, the receiver module looks to be along the right line. I am thinking about getting the techauthority subscription to see if I can decipher the actual use of the Telematics module and confirm the Receiver is the right one.I tried to order the remote start kit for my 2021 JLS 6 speed and the dealer said it isn't compatible even though I just wanted to use the lock functionality.
