2023 sport w/ 392 half doors

[Ykp53]

I just purchased a 2023 sport and after new tires the next purchase was a pair of half doors from a 392. They are full loaded with power mirrors ,lock and blind spot monitors. Any way I can activate these options s o. My lowly base model?

Does your Jeep already have power windows and blind spot monitoring?

No I have the base model with nothing power on it

Then how do you expect those to work?
Tazer or jscan can enable blind spot monitoring, but you'll also need the sensors and the bumper.

I bought some 2nd hand half doors for my old JL 2dr base... I had planned to rig up the power locks, but never got very far with it. You'll need to get a controller for them to work.. There are a few Bluetooth/app controlled keyless entry units out there that kind of work like proximity unlock when your phone is in range...I was going to go that direction so I didn't have to carry a remote fob from a cheap-o car alarm.

You will need to either mod your door connection plug on the vehicle side to add the pins for the power locks or other door electronics, or just tap the wires on the door harness and use your own disconnects.

The door lock modules themselves are able to be actuated with momentary power, which most keyless entry controllers can do. You might even be able to get the door lock/unlock buttons working as well, depending on the controller..I think they're just momentary switches.

If I remember correctly, the power mirrors only need 12v to operate, the switch/directional pad does all the work. The heated mirrors could also be switched manually with an appropriate fused 12v power tap... I'm not sure if you could tie into the "defogger" switch, but the switch does have a light on it, which could operate a relay for the mirror heaters.

I looked into aftermarket blind spot sensors to tie into those lights on the mirrors. Something like this should work... https://a.co/d/98ktQV1 ... Just wire into the mirror LED instead of the lights in the kit.

Short story... Anything is possible with enough time, energy and money... But realistically you're looking at a setup using aftermarket stuff... A good car audio/alarm shop could probably do this without much consternation. I only used the half doors a few months out of the year, and never with the uppers on, so I kind of lost interest in making it all work.

How did you manage to find a yellow pair

How did you manage to find a yellow pair

Hah, just random find on FB marketplace. Someone with a yellow 2-door JL didn't want em. This was a few years ago.

I was today years old when I found out that the half-doors could have power windows. I thought they were like the old half-doors where you just had the plastic window or whatever that covered the opening.

So these basically have all the functionality of the full door?

Edit - I read "power mirrors" as "power windows". Whoops. Nothing to see here, move along.

I'm one of the few with a Factory Dual door group JT, Found a left over 2023 Sport S max tow on the lot w/ full doors on and half doors still boxed in the bed back seat
