at work i was driving a (2011 i think) Grand cherokee and the customer had taken out the push button and it looked exactly like our trucks inside. i asked the parts guy and he said they tried it but the gc button fell in , the hole was too big. now i see the 14 higher end trucks have a button with an extra trim ring on the outside to fit the bigger hole. couldn't we just buy the newer truck button? they all have tip start (v8) already and i think the button just turns the fob hole.
I took the button out of my Challenger and tried it, the slots are the wrong size, it won't fit. Even then I know there had to be more to it. Looks like so based on the wiring diagram in the next post demonstrates that.

Thanks MUCH for tracking this down and posting it! So clearly the RF module is the key component here, plus what looks like a variety of antennas that attach. Love to know if this could be fairly plug and play... I always prefer OEM solutions when possible. If not, I've found this: http://www.advancedkeys.com/Prod_AK104S.html which looks pretty cool and viable.

Yeah, I was starting something with that pic, but I never found the topography for the other type that was in a format that I could post on a forum. Still trying to track it down.
The KIN (button) is sort of a "dummy" in this scenario. Just a BUS signal that someone pushed it in.
