Getting ready to start this project. Just a few questions.
Are we still butting the door antenna on the B pillars?
Are we still pulling the wires through the boot for the door handles? Wasn't there a connector kit that we could have pinned to the door harness connector?
I still have success with the antenna in my b-pillar. The only slight issue I see is that if the fob is near my phone, the distance for proximity unlock is greatly reduced. However, someone else who put their antennae in the stock location (mounted to door skin) ALSO has the same issue, so Im thinking the b-pillar is not a bad location. It sure saved work running wires!
As far as the handle wiring, while you can buy the factory jumpers, you still need something to connect them to....the "truck" side so to speak....those wires are not included in trucks that did not come with keyless enter n go from the factory, so you still need to fish them to the door connector. At that point you might as well just continue fishing them to the handle.
I love this mod, every day. But I looked at the original option sheets for our trucks, and it was only a $195 option (!!!). Granted, it was not available on Big Horn trim, but if I were buying a truck where it WAS available, ~$200 is a no-brainer-BUY.
