We have had 3 mass neighborhood break ins this year in my neighborhood but only including open doors. Luckily I have never forgot to lock my doors but I was wondering if there is an option on a 2009 to autolock after X amount of time?
Anyway to set my doors to lock if I forget? ... 2009 Dodge ram 1500

I've locked my keys in my truck several times like that. What I prefer to do (with an aftermarket alarm) is set it to passive arm the alarm, but not the doors. This way, even if I forget to lock the doors, the alarm will sound if/when someone does a handle check.
We actually had a group of people handle checking cars in a few neighborhoods a couple of years back. I woke up one morning and my alarm told me (with 3 unlock chirps) that the alarm had gone off, but nothing was missing. Sure enough, I forgot to lock my truck when I had been in and out of it the night before and I'm guessing someone did a door check and ran off.

The only reason I dont want an aftermarket alarm is cause the key is already big enough with these new all in one keys and if I got an aftermarket one then I have to carry another thing on my keychain
Does anyone know if they have an autolock feature for a stock 2009 ram alarm?

Do the 2009s have uconnect? That lets you lock them through an app I think. Not sure what year that started though.
No it doesnt

to me this poses too much risk of locked keys inside the vehicle.

like stated above you can have the factory remote control an aftermarket alarm. since with any alarm install you need a bypass module the truck fob and an aftermarket fob will control both the same functions. I use to have a '11 durango and i did this on it. i used an after market alarm/starter with a bypass module. i used the factory FOB for short range (i had it set up to hit the lock button 3x and it would remote start), then i used the viper smart start for longer range starting.
