Bought the sport S and it came with the keyless entry. The dealer did what they call 'black out package' and now it doesn't have the keyless enter and go. I can unlock it using the fob, but I guess the feature where you just touch the handle to unlock is gone. Is this just program that can be fixed?

I’ve seen a lot of people confused about this, and rightfully so. Jeep did a great job of creating confusion through the use of similar names.

What you’re thinking of is Remote Proximity Keyless Entry (Touch the door handle and it unlocks). This is NOT an option that is available on the Sport S. You have simply Keyless Entry which means you can unlock via the unlock button on the key fob.

If you really want it.... There have been a few posts of people managing to buy all the parts and take apart the doors and install it on the side, but dealers don’t do this.

On a side note, flash some pictures of those “gloss” black mirrors and door handles. I’m intrigued! Ive been contemplating ways to keep them from fading over time. I’ve considered vinyl wrap and body matching paint.

Bet you are right - "keyless entry" simply means the fob button, no key.
Proximity means you don't even have to TOUCH the fob - you walk up to the truck, touch the back of the handle and it unlocks.

Keyless means press a button
Proximity means - touch only the door handle.

I failed to note the SPORT part............

It's only available on the Overland and Rubicon I believe.

It is it’s own package, the sales code is GXD. It‘s not one you’ll find bundled with other packages.

Jeep Gladiator Keyless enter and go 20200730_134902

If the dealership did this modification then it can be restored by installing back the proper handles but can you send me your VIN and a photo of the drivers handle they installed please.

@ejdonato so I guess they actually had the plastic mirrors and handles painted?

Looks sharp I’d like to get the black plastic stuff painted myself so it doesn’t fade. I was looking more towards a satin so it didn’t stand out too much like it doesn’t now. Yours is cool though, it’s almost like the altitude versions they put out.
