Proximity door locks retrofit install (instructions, parts, links) on JL Wrangler

[jeepster345]

@llemoine11 Landry/All:

I contacted the Jscan development guy/team via Facebook (their Preferred method) concerning the status of the IOS build of the software with the New Passive Entry features that @Etch Parker kindly described in the latest Android phone implementation of the software.

overnight I received a reply that “he” (?) was hoping for “tomorrow.”

I guess, best case, I’ll interpret that to mean today or tomorrow.

I believe he lives somewhere in Europe, so the time difference likely means today for us.

Keep in mind that even if the developer has made the code changes required, the update still has to be submitted for approval to go into the App Store. So while the developer has most likely submitted the updates, it could just be sitting with Apple, alongside a whole bunch of wiring harnesses for doors!

I hear that Will, thanks.

But would the link on the Jscan.net website likely to be more current--or does that essentially (if you know?) go through the Apple App Store too?

Thanks.

@Gee-pah iOS apps all go through the App Store, unless you jailbreak etc. I think that for Android the developer just puts it out there, so no delay.

8 pins, two connectors, and some wire and someone could sell a lot of DIY front "door harnesses". Just saying....

 

[llemoine11]

So y’all know the update is out on iOS

So, when you get your first two completed, I'll give you my shipping address and payment info!

For ease of use, and for users reading this thread for the first time, I've compiled useful instructions that I have had to follow.

SNIP

2) Wiring Verification - Refer to post #193 on this thread to verify you have the proper wiring, or add it if you don't. Post #216 has one possible solution for adding it using a weatherpack. To do it factory style, you will need TERM114 Connectors and TERM42C Connectors. Gauge of wiring unknown. Someone please chime in here.

End Snip

I would recommend not purchasing the socket & blade terminal connectors linked above.
I followed the links and the price looked like price gouging to me. The shipping is also ridiculous for the items being shipped. Here is an image of my cart:

Since that price seemed crazy for crimped on connectors I searched and I found this thread. I asked the OP if the terminal connectors he ordered worked and he replied yes. Here is a link to that thread.

These terminal socket connectors can be had for the crazy sum of $0.33 each & that's gold plated!
10 can be had for $3.33

This link is for the socket connector at Digi-Key

Here's the blade terminal connector at Digi-Key. For the crazy price of $0.52. Digi-Key has no minimum order size.

Hope this helps those wanting to wire to the factory plugs but were turned off by the price of the connectors at Connector Experts.
EDIT:
I based my purchase the answer to my question on our JL forum:
https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...n-auxiliary-switch-install.43919/post-1155535
These terminals DO NOT fit our door connectors. The OP in that thread has a JT perhaps the plugs aren't the same. I'm truly sorry if anyone has purchased these based on this post, I should've personally verified the fit before posting.

The reason that I went with Connector Experts is because I was able to send them pictures of the connectors and they were able to tell me the correct terminals to use. So since they helped me out in that aspect I had no problem buying from them. I was cautious of just buying other terminals because there are many different sizes and styles of terminals out there.

Please let us know if the ones that you found fit properly in the connectors.

Good luck with your install!! Thank you for providing other options for cheaper terminals!!

No worries, it took me quite some time from your original post for me to find this info. I don't know how much time I spent searching. If I counted my time it probably would've been cheaper to order from Connection Experts!

So y’all know the update is out on iOS

When was that released? I just download it 2 days ago and it wasn’t

They just updated the IOS version yesterday.

I have been tracking this thread for a while, but now I'm a little confused. I have all the hardware (partially installed) but I don't have the Jscan. I have the TazerJL. I have contacted TazerJL and they don't have a solution yet for proximity entry. What am I missing?

They tried with an older model, couldn't get it to work and concluded it needed a module to work. If you contact them and say others have gotten it to work they might let you be the test mule for them.[/QUOTE]
