First step is disconnect the door and look for pins in cavity’s 15 & 16. If you have those then it is just changing parts and a little programming. If you don’t have pins in those spots then it’s a little more involved.I have a 2018 JLUS will it work for earlier models or from specific year and up?

Hopefully you have the pins; I did and it was not too bad a project. Even if you don't, there is a lit made to add them, fairly easy to do int he end.Thanks a bunch!
I confirmed my wire harness has wires at pins 15 & 16. Gonna check with dealer.Can someone please clarify what the process is if the Jeep harness does not have the pins for the driver and passenger doors. I installed the rear gate handle and got my dealer to add the GXD code and that worke. However now that my front handles are on, they are not working as intended, only the back. I will check the harness to see if I have the correct pins, but if I don’t (2021 Pre-June Sport S 80th), what can I do to get the handles working?
Did you replace the door harnesses?I confirmed my wire harness has wires at pins 15 & 16. Gonna check with dealer.
Great write up. My JLU was done in almost the exact same steps.So many posts on the subject... most concise and complete one I found was #453. My experience:
Final note - getting to the security bypass module to disconnect the two cables - not that much fun. Good pair of needle nose pliers is helpful to plug them back in.
- Jeep Gladiator 2021
- Inspect drivers side connector to ensure the two pins are there.
- Bought kit from Mopar Genuine Parts. Web site clearly states 45 day wait. Shipped the next day, had it in my hands 3 days later.
- Follow video on how to install hardware. There are many out there, this is the best one I found. Clear, complete and accurate
- Call dealership where I got the jeep 3 weeks ago asking if they can enable the sales code (passive entry wasn't an option when I ordered it). Explain what I'm after. They didn't understand.
- Call dealership again. New person. No idea.
- Call dealership a week later. Guy understands, tells me $90 to enable it, call xxxx on Monday.
- Call Monday, leave a message. Hear back from xxxx who said it was $150 and probably won't work. Ask if I can set up an appointment, never hear back.
- Reach out to xxxx, doesn't respond.
- Call another dealer. They have no idea what I'm talking about, gets my info and promises to research and call back.
- Order bypass cable and linker from Amazon, arrives 3 days later
- Follow instructions in the post (453), works perfect the first time.
- Used JScan - it clearly says might take up to 24 hours to have option show on radio, reboot ecu's to expedite. Don't really care about the option showing on the radio, have no intention to ever turn it off.
- Took an hour, option now shows on the radio.
- Still haven't heard back from dealership #2.
Best of luck to everyone, know that it works!
I did not use a Taser or Jscan. My dealer Service Manager knew what to do and added GXD to the VIN with his iPad and wireless dongle that plugged into the jeep. Originally I installed the rear-gate only, then got the code added and it worked. When I installed the front handles, they did not work. Wen't back to the dealer to clear the codes for missing handles that were present after the rear-gate install - still not working. Hoping after I let the car sit for a little everything will work.Will the dealer add the code to your VIN even if you used Jscan or Taser? Or only if they activate it?
Yes, I replaced the existing door harness, which did not have a lead for the handle. I also got the kit from AllMoparParts. I also confirmed I have pins 15 & 16 on the jeep-side of the harness.Did you replace the door harnesses?
See what @dlong1119 wrote, all great advice there.Yes, I replaced the existing door harness, which did not have a lead for the handle. I also got the kit from AllMoparParts. I also confirmed I have pins 15 & 16 on the jeep-side of the harness.
