Understanding the Ram HD Factory OEM Mopar Passive Keyless Entry Upgrade Kit
Overview
The Ram HD Factory OEM Mopar Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) Upgrade kit enhances convenience by enabling passive entry functionality to your Ram 2500. However, understanding what is included in the kit and the steps to ensure compatibility with your specific vehicle is critical for a successful installation.
What’s Included in the Kit?
The PKE Upgrade kit does not include door handles or handle caps. These items must be sourced separately. Whether you already have OEM handles or handle caps, or if you plan to purchase them additionally, ensure that they match your vehicle's specifications. Use product images and identifiers to confirm the correct handles and caps for your Ram model before purchasing.
Matching Door Handle Paint Colors
To ensure that any new passive entry door handles match the existing paint job on your vehicle, use the VIN to identify the appropriate paint code. For instance, if your vehicle’s VIN indicates Granite Crystal paint, you should select door handles labeled as "Granite Crystal" to achieve a perfect color match.
Summary of Key Points
The PKE Upgrade kit excludes door handles and caps; these are purchased separately as needed.
Confirm the correct handles and caps by matching product details to your Ram model.
Use your vehicle’s VIN to identify compatible paint colors when purchasing new passive entry door handles.
By following these guidelines, you can confidently upgrade your Ram 2500 with the Mopar Passive Keyless Entry System while ensuring a seamless integration of components. Related Topics
