OEM Remote Start add-on?

[JeepNightHawk]

ECU Can be done with JSCAN, Keyfob, technically JSCAN Can do it but way easier just to have a dealer do it.

So what do i ask the dealer ? I want a new 4 button key with remote start activated?

I sent you a PM but I would personally just focus on getting them to program a 4 button key as a "spare" key.

FCA doesn't have adding remote start for Gladiator documented well and your likely to get 5 - 10 different answers on why it can't be done, mainly cause no one know why its not listed as an option in FCA's System. Even though its been proven to already be onboard and Can be done easily. In other words this is a documentation issue on FCA's side not a technical issue.

You can read the write up above for more information.

But it boils down to if you have power locks your JT is remote start ready.

Hi, I also wanted the OEM remote start and wanted to post that I successfully had it added to my 2023 JTR (Auto) following the instructions in this post.
Used JScan to update the module and enabled remote start. Purchased key fob part # 68416784AD and took to the dealer. They programmed the key fob and said they added the remote start sales code to the vehicle (unsure if that is needed) and it worked! Thanks for this thread!

I live in Chicago it's warm but I have to get this done before winter was it simple to complete?

Not "needed" however, it's good in case you need any sort of a module flash or change - you won't lose those settings. And when I traded, the dealer was happy to see that I had gotten my passive entry added to the VIN - when they looked up the truck for value, it was right there and they appreciated that.

Yes relatively easy. I was new to JScan so I read their website and bought the Vgate vLinker MC+ bluetooth connector (other options available as well) and the TTXSPP cable adapter for programming, found the wires under the dash and took 5 min to connect, program, and turn it on. Then just the time to order the 4 button fob and get the dealer to program it to the car.

I have a 2020 JT sport, keyless start and electric locks, if i get the new key with the remote start and do the programing on key and car, would be possible to make it turn on the ac to cool or heat?

I have a 2023 Gladiator Overland Auto, Power Locks and Windows, Proximity and Keyless Entry. I bought a 4 button key and had it cut and programmed by a locksmith. I used JSCAN to set Remote Start Present to Active and the remote start does not function. Is there something that I am not doing right, or am I missing a component?

got it sorted. had to get it up to atleast 30mph to activate.

Speed has nothing to do with it - likely the modules simply didn't have time to chat with each other and pass information along the network. Some time, or start and stop cycles (via the start button on the dash) usually does the trick.
But speed? That's not an issue.

Actually it does, at 30MPH the airbag system arms, and it updates the communication between the ECM and BCM, both of which are required for remote start.

Basically the BCM has the remote start code, but the ECM hasn't updated to have knowledge that remote start is allowed. Once you hit 30MPH and the re-sync of the relationship happens the ECM knows that the BCM will send it remote start commands.

Now I know you're "off" LOL
Airbags don't "arm" at a speed, they "arm" when the ignition is ON even if the car is parked or stopped.
And they can deploy when the vehicle speed is about 10 mph or so, depending on the impact detected.
Sorry, you have some really bad info there.
These modules talk way before 30 mph - in fact with enough mismatch, it won't even START.

Bud, you're talking to the guy who wrote the write-up and the entire reason the Sales Code is now available for Gladiator. You're operating with incomplete information. I actually know cause I have verbose logs.

Be careful, there's a lot of guys here who want to lynch Jeep programmers and such for some of the illogical crap inside some of these modules, like the ambient temp not updating until you hit 35 mph and for some - it ain't gonna happen.

Want to see the logs showing the air bags don't "arm" until 30 mph because it would be totally against all industry norms and here's some real-world examples of why air bags arm at ignition on - not some magical mph number:
You are shopping, get in, start up, pull out of a parking spot in downtown and the speed limit is 25 - due to traffic, not cops, you can't even make that for 3 blocks.. You stop, your light turns green, you advance and from out of nowhere an idiot coming out of a curved side street smacks you doing 25-30 mph. (in my S-I-L's case, it flipped her Blazer)
In the jeep, the air bags don't go off because of some 30 mph arm thing - Jeep gets sued.
You pull out of the hospital ramp in Iowa City, turn onto Melrose - traffic is heavy, there's a school zone, you might hit 25 if lucky, WHAM, someone makes a left turn into you. Air bags won't go off because of some stupid Jeep thing - but they would for ANY OTHER vehicle (fact!) so Jeep gets sued.
Air bags are supposed to arm at ignition on. They are not triggered by speed, but by deceleration or acceleration with sensors.
If you have to reach 30 mph to arm an air bag system in a Jeep, jeep needs their asses sued because any other vehicle on the market arms at ignition on.
Air bags can deploy when you are sitting still, having never reached 30 mph after startup, depending of course on the forces, impact, deceleration or acceleration caused by the impact.
You don't have to reach any minimum speed to "arm" them, not with anything else on the market.

It makes zero sense to have anything triggered by speed - and I sure hope you weren't the one who wrote that because if I find that it's a fact Jeep is violating air bag industry norms, I'll add that to the list of things to go after them over.
Their programmers and executives are total idiots, the people building them in Toledo are fine.

I don't believe you .

There is no 30 mph to turn on the air bag system. Turn the ignition on, car not moving, they can work. You don't need to get up to 30 in order for air bags to work.

• Airbags are activated (able to inflate if necessary) only when the ignition switch is turned to the ON or START position.

• Accessory Mode: If you turn the key to "ACC" (accessory) or "ON," the airbag system is armed and can deploy, even without the engine running.
• Momentary Power: After the engine is turned off, the system retains power for a few minutes (or longer), allowing for deployment if a crash occurs shortly after stopping.

From IIHS:


Newer airbags have a safety belt sensor and use an algorithm to decide whether to deploy the bag in a given crash, depending on whether people are using safety belts.

For unbelted occupants, a front airbag will typically deploy when the crash is the equivalent of an impact into a rigid wall at 10-12 mph. For belted occupants, most airbags will deploy at a higher threshold — about 16 mph — because the belts alone are likely to provide adequate protection up to these moderate speeds.
