2016 Jeep Patriot w/no power locks or windows

0 votes
I have a 2016 jeep patriot  sport with no power windows, no power locks, and no keyless entry. So that means i have no key remote fobs.  It is a base model vehicle. I want to install a remote start system and keyless entry system with a trunk/rear hatch open option to it , maybe alarm  too.  My question is , what do you recommend for my vehicle?

If you vehicle DOES NOT have oem doorlock motors in the door and a solenoid or motor in the hatch,  There is really no easy solution to add keyless entry to your vehicle. Please visit a local shop and inquire about the costs of manually adding motors to each door and connecting it to a remote starter system.

 

Thank you,

installing after market power lock motors and rear hatch motors  with a keyless entry system is not a problem for me, I can find those kits all day long online, and  I can easily install that.

What  I need is a remote start system for my jeep that works with my jeep .

My 2016  jeep  Patriot does not have a factory keyless entry or factory remote start.

I have seen many remote start systems online but they all require the vehicle to have a factory keyless entry.
I would suggest  the following for what you are trying to do:

1- Evo-One: this is a remote start module with lock unlock outputs and aux output for your rear hatch. (http://fortin.ca/en/vehicles/jeep/patriot/2016/)

2- RF Kit: used to control remote start operation and keyless entry. (http://fortin.ca/en/technology/rf_kits.html)

3- Flash link updater2: used to configure the module for the vehicle you are working on and other features you may want to activated/deactivate. (http://fortin.ca/en/products/accessories/flash-link_updater/)
