We bought our 21' Altitude used, but we have the original sticker and it lists remote keyless entry. Our door handles don't have the little button on them like I see on others and it doesn't appear to work any other way. Am I missing something or is this most likely a mistake?

Do you have the "Remote Proximity Keyless Entry" on your window sticker? Key word being "Proximity"

Not this:

Remote Proximity means that you can touch the handle to lock and unlock the door.
Remote Entry means that you can use the fob to lock and unlock the door.

If you don't have Proximity and want to install it: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...nstructions-parts-links-on-jl-wrangler.49241/

Here is another option: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...ngler-jl-passive-entry-keyless-go-kit.153634/

Remote keyless entry just means it comes with a key fob. What you are wanting is "passive entry". You can swap out your three handles pretty easy, parts are on Mopar's site. Youtube has the swap directions. I did my own because two different dealerships within 2 hours from me could not, would not do it. I think you might need the Tazor mini as well, I can't remember since I already had the Tazor. Passive entry is the only way to go, never having to pull out that key fob makes me a happy jeeper.

Thanks for the clarification. Seems I only have the remote keyless, it makes sense now
