Retrofitting Active Safety Group?

[Yolobaggins]

Finding some good deals on the 23 Gladiators but most of them don’t have the Active Safety Group due to the shortage recently

Would love to get a good deal off the lot and add the sensors for the park assist, etc if possible

Does anyone know if it’s possible with the gladiator? I know it can be done with the Wrangler

How? You'll have to buy everything separately and then let the computer know you have it.

I had that stuff on my last couple vehicles. I don’t miss it on the Jeep. Kinda wish I had the emergency stop thing, but that requires a camera and the expensive windshield…. And man… you don’t want the expensive windshield.

The camera stuff will cost ya a mint I’d expect. If it’s aftermarketable at all.

Park assist is just the sensors and 1 module. I think with all the wiring harnesses and whatnot it wasn’t worth it vs generic.
The mirror sensors etc… meh. It’s got great visibility.

Two safety groups - one is the safety group, and I believe the other is the advanced safety group which has the FCW, auto high beam, adaptive cruise.

The basic safety group should be easy to add - the other a bit more complex as it requires the forward facing camera and radar array up top center of the windshield, different windshield and so on. But - someone's been working on doing that saying it's possible. Success? Can't say...
But if they get it working on the JT, then that says it's possible on the JL and my wife and I considered getting the advance safety group added to her JLU some day.
We really miss the auto high beam and I miss the ACC.

Yes I just want the basic safety, for the backup sensor and cross alert for my mirrors, that’s it. With kids, the extra noise alerts would be so beneficial for me

I have seen a couple threads on the JL side stating it can be done but nothing that gives a parts list and a "A to Z" instruction set.

I think from a parts perspective, it will be costly.

There's posts in various places arguing it can be done, and if someone says no, then it's jumped on with yes it can and yet - I see nothing stating here's how it's done, here are the parts required, and the costs or any evidence showing "here it is, finished and working" so until I see that, I'm still thinking there's a lot saying it, no one yet putting up the supporting evidence.
IF either can be added, why is there not any start to finish "I did it and here it is".
the passive entry was long said to be impossible to add - even by many Jeep people and dealers. Then someone found a way and showed in pictures and parts lists exactly what needs to be done and even the mods to be made in the system. Proof, not just saying "yes it can be done because I heard someone did it" or "I did it on a RAM".
So I guess - we've got people saying it can be done, but that's it.
They could make money if they wanted - selling instructions and a kit.

Maybe @AllMoparParts.com knows the parts list.

I think they are close to making it work.

Yes, I'm watching that one for the Advance Safety Group.

That's not the Safety Group for those who want BSM, crosspath detection, parksense and LED tail lights.

Two different safety groups.

the OP appears to want the rear bumper sensors for the parksense, etc. and that's not the advance safety group.

Ahh, things have changed. At one point you had the safety group and then you had the active safety group.
Leave it to Jeep to change things.

Park assist requires a custom overlay harness that is available from Infotainment. From the factory these circuits are incorporated within the body harness.

Does that mean that the body harness for a Gladiator specified WITHOUT the Active Safety Group will not have the required components or will they just be there taped down as is the case for things like the rear bed 110V switch which is in place and only needs the parts at the switch end and the 110V outlet end? I have tried, and tried and tried to find this out. Infotainment WILL NOT spill the beans and only offer to sell me their entire kit, but since I have already located all the parts AND have a Tazer I would be spending $500+ dollars for a wiring harness (and this leads me to think that the wires are actually there somewhere or I'd think they would just say so). I have spoken to two Jeep Technicians who will not offer any information for "liability" reasons. Beyond the wiring, I can not find the OEM location for the park assist module but expect that it resides inside the firewall maybe near the glovebox since the Star Ports are there. My new Ceter Stack (AC controller with the Park Sense Off switch) is plug-and-play replacement for the my unit that does not have that switch. (Regarding the module, I believe on the Wrangler it may live inside the body near the passenger side taillight where that vehicle also has a set of Star Ports.). Any help would be greatly appreciated. For what it is worth the following is a VIN for a Gladiator at a local dealer that has the Active Safety Group since at least one parts guy has told me that he can not help me locate the correct parts since my VIN does not have the group listed and so his system will not pull up any details beyond what I can see on the On-Line Mopar parts sites (VIN for a Gladiator Willys spec'd with Active Safety Group on a local dealer's lot: 1C6HJTAG0PL565166 if that helps)
Ideally, I can provide a list of the parts and the installation notes if I can be provided the location of the OEM module and whether a specific wire harness needs to be added or if the connections are all there awaiting the components.
Thanks.

I can sure see why no one associated with Jeep would want to be involved, even a tech, because if you mess up and something doesn't work right - they are part of the process that goes the misfunctioning equipment in place.

You mentioned the park sense switch - but park sense has nothing to do with the active safety, ACC, FCW and such.
Park sense is the sonar in the rear bumper that tells you when you are backing too close to something.

This thread is mostly about adding the ACC and FCW - the modules up by the inside mirror for forward collision warning, active cruise control, auto high beams, etc.

Are you wanting only park sense?

this is park sense - in the rear bumper.

BSM or Blind Spot Monitoring is the tail lights and mirrors and isn't connected to the modules at the windshield for ACC, FCW and auto high beam.

You can have park sense and no ACC/FCW or active braking
