Keyless Enter-N-Go Passive Entry System

[Glade8tr]

There most likely won't be a solution for the tail gate because that is unlocked AFTER you touch and pull the front door handles on one equipped with passive unlock. Even with the fob you have to give it two presses - one for driver/front, the other for back/tailgate.
There's no sensor back there and bluetooth would unlock the front doors unless there's some way they can tie into the built-in jeep security, the BCM, to also unlock the rear and tailgate. There's no technology back there.
They would have to configure it so that when you were within range it unlocked ALL locks at the same time.
These other solutions are add-in modules, not sure how they'd tie in and not trigger the alarms by unlocking the thing without going through the security to disable that as well!
If it was an older vehicle, say a 94 Jeep ZJ all they have to do is tie into the lock motor circuit and power it up.
With these they have to disable the security THEN unlock by powering the lock motors (some call them solenoids but they are really little motors that work so fast - at least on older vehicles with power locks, they appear as solenoids)
Whatever the 3rd party does they have to tie directly into the Jeep security - otherwise, well, it would be the same as trying to break in.

This will be interesting.

I know that you can program all the doors and tailgate to unlock with one click of the key fob. This is how I have mine set up for.

Your tailgate unlocks with the fob? Everyone else is saying it doesn’t.

Okay I bundled up, grabbed my shovel, grabbed my key fob and went out for an experiment. I started the Gladiator remotely (everything auto locks) and then proceeded to unlock to doors/tailgate using one push of the unlock button via keyfob.


And the results are. . . . . . . . . . YES in one click of the key fob everything was unlocked.

Yes it’s possible... I set it like this on the first day... just go to Settings —> Doors and Locks —> First press of key fob unlocks... all doors

(EDIT: got back to the Jeep for another thread and set it to English for the time of the picture:

Yeah - in the uconnect lock settings. Most vehicles from Jeep in the last couple of years or more you can set to unlock just the driver door (a SAFETY thing for women traveling alone) or unlock all, etc.
So if you set it that way a bluetooth proximity system could unlock the tailgate - because it could be programmed to unlock all. However, such a system MUST interface with the Jeep's system and so far I've not found such a system.

Hopefully my dealer will have a present for my gladiator in the first week in December.

Sorry for the delay, I have been in the hospital and have not made contact with the dealer like i have wanted to. But don't fret, i will get to the bottom of this one way or the other.

Hopefully all is well - with you, that is. I dislike the word hospital. Every time I've been, they have messed something up.
