I am having the hardest time trying to find someone at Ram that will help lead me to upgrading the security system with a True alarm with shock and level sensors. Twice now I have had someone that tried to steal the Rim and Tires on my 2019 Limited truck. I have wheel locks and managed to get those off. Must be copies out there sadly. The dealer warns me that if I go outside the dealer my warranty will be voided. Including the extended warranty. However, the dealer has no option for me to get their alarm which would probably be no different than and aftermarket one. Does anyone have some knowledge on how to get to the right alarm for my truck?? So aggravating...

Present this to the dealer . It is illegal for them to void a warranty unless they can prove that some aftermarket part caused a particular failure.

That being said I put in a Compustar Alarm with a with a Drone and a Digital Tilt Sensor and Glass Sensor in my truck.

Go over to your Best Buy Store. The Geek Squad Guys are highly trained on Compustar and Viper systems. Excellent alarms, keep it simple on an alarm less is more. They will make you happy.

you can put a shock sensor/glass break unit in the truck>you wire the pos input to one of the door switches so when it goes off from a shock it will trigger the factory alarm system on the truck its like someone opening the door when the alarm is set >>open door alarm goes off so with this sensor its taken the sound or shock wave into the unit and outputting a pos signal wired to door switch and alarm will sound
good spot is on the steering column
