If there isn’t, you can get a cheap kit on Amazon and install the receiver controller in the solenoid box. Comes with two remotes. I’m not an electrician, and I had no problem installing it in my wife’s Smittybilt. It’s $16. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0891R1XN1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

There was a recent recall, never needed a wireless remote myself.

To further what @donmontalvo said, do you really want one? Maybe the "cool" factor?

Note that you'll most likely want to keep the wired version with you in case the wireless one fails.

what did Warn say?

you did call them, didn’t you??

that recall is only for the Evo winch version; there are others.

there’s a variety of reasons why sometimes it’s nice to not have to be right next to the winch.
but i do still also carry my wired controller just in case.

Yes, Warn wireless remote model 90287.

I have it and keep it as a back up incase a racoon jumps on my car and chews my wired remote while doing a recovery.

it's not as precise and there is a slight delay in activation compared to the wired remote when hitting either the in or out switch but good for piece of mind.

I have never had to use it so I store it in my glove box with the batteries separated in a ziploc bag

I use mine if my wife is behind the wheel, allows me to get a safe distance without being in the Jeep.

just curious; there’s a delay compared to the wired version?
but you’ve never “had to” use the wireless version?
how would you know how they compare? haven’t met that ‘coon yet?

i use the wireless as my primary, but keep the cabled controller for *peace* of mind. (i don’t have enough mind left to spare a “piece”.)

about every 3 months I unspool the line and hook up to an anchor point to run the winch. figure it can't hurt to run the motor and circulate the lube when the gears rotate.

playing around I tried the wireless, there is a discernable delay when hitting either in or out and the winch reacting vs the wired remote is instant.

let's put it this way. when I hit a gnarly piece of trail that I think I'll need to winch I set the jeep up with the wired remote, even though it takes a bit more time to tuck the wire in the front driver fender crease, wrap around my mirror base and then into the cabin lol.

just prefer how the winch reacts to the wired version better.

Any delay is a bit disconcerting, especially when you're nearly done putting it all back in and your fingers are getting closer to that danger area.

literally one of the reasons why I prefer the wired version as well.

glad mine doesn't seem to have a "delay"!

The Mopar Warn Winch is just a Zeon 8 in a different enclosure so whatever works with the Zeon 8 will work with the Mopar version.
