Thanks for the order Josh but I think whatever message your seeing is a generic order processing message. If you ordered the kit were gonna need at least 4-6 weeks at this pace.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

I ordered about 3 weeks ago?? So are we still on pace, maybe a couple more weeks roughly?
(I ordered before you had the kits listed, the individual parts)

I can't speak for them but it seems everywhere is short on the harness and other parts from the manufacturer. I was banking on my rubicon having the right harness but mine was 5452ae and I didn't see a pigtail. I've tried locating a place with the right harness on hand but no cigar..

The 68299332AF has been pushed back 4-6 weeks. We hope that within this time we get an update of incoming inventory similar to the opposite side harness.

We are sorry for the delays

yep, just got the email indicating they are on back order. I was pretty excited there for a minute. Anywho, patience is a virtue, right? Thanks Benny!

Sorry, I didn't read all the intermediary posts after reading just the first page.

Has anyone considered trying AlfaOBD?

It is similar to Jscan, just more robust in where it can write data.

I didn't see any posts about it. How much different is it?

But jscan works perfectly for the proximity locks, no one has had any issues with it in this area -
so, I was simply wondering, just wondering what brought up the AlfaOBD for the proximity locks as there aren't any issue with jscan?

On the other hand - will it read the ABS on my 04 WJ? If so - I'm off to take a look!!!!!!!!
NOTHING else will that I have checked into or tried.

Never mind - just checked their list of vehicles - Jeep isn't even listed.

That's funny because we are using it to activate the front trail cam on our Gladiators.

Finally did the install on my 2020 JT driver side.. seems to be a little buggy I can lock the doors with the handle button but isn’t always unlocking when I hit it.. need to take time to play with it.

By unlocking when I hit it I assume you are pushing the button to unlock? If so, that is not how they work. To unlock just grab the handle without touching the button. Grabbing the handle AND pushing the button confuses the system as you are telling it to do both.

On our other Jeeps, you put your fingers behind the handle and touch.
Push button to lock
pull or touch back of handle to UNlock.
