Remote issue

Kiebers · Aug 24, 2017

I have a 2015 Ram and my son has a 2016 ram. Recently neither one of us are able to use the fob unless we are standing at the vehicle door and we can only unlock at the door, nothing else works. Cannot remote start from inside the house or lock or unlock anymore. Any where else but at our house, everything works fine. Never had this problem before. Also just allowed the Uconnect to upgrade and it seems the issue started then. I know it probably is not the upgrade since everything works fine every where but home. Are there devices that jam fob signals? Has anyone else had this issue?

I did try to search the problem so if there is a thread on this already feel free to merge.

May have found the answer. Sure makes sense.

I finally used the right search terms on Google and saw there are key fob jammers sold. They also can block drones. Have several new neighbors so one of them could be doing it. So if you have an issue like I had....could be it. I think someone may be worried about surveillance drones.

Ain't we havin' fun

Odd issue...makes sense though.

Not only that but these things are not cheap. $300.00 to $9,900.00
Brings a whole new level to that tin foil hat issue. LOL

Gotta wonder whats going through someones head when they buy something like this.

There are ALOT more things to worry about in life than your neighbors being able to start their cars and surveillance drones... Are they drug dealers? I suppose...you never know.

Still seems silly to me to be so paranoid that I'd buy one of these.

Since signal jammers are illegal for civilians to operate in the US, if you really think someone locally has one, call the FCC and ask them to send someone from the closest office out to check.

cellular satellite phone jammer are mainly use for security purpose. There are huge of unauthorized user's are trying to break security. it helps to army, military and Police.

Keyless entry remotes to comply with fcc regulations must accept interference. I have seen this many times in a dealer parking lot. Back when i installed i could have 3 cars next to one another getting remote starts installed and the same thing would happen.
