Audible alarm when gettng close to objects on backing up

[Lanny Lancaster]

I am new to the Forum so hopefully I am posting this in the right place. I have a 2014 Ram 1500 that I purchased a couple of months ago - Love the truck.. It has the screen with the back up camera but there is no audible alarm when you get close to objects. Is this something that needs to be turned on? I noticed I do not have the Park Assist buttons. Does this mean there is no audible warning alarm? If that is the case - can the alarm be added???

unfortunately it means that you don't have the sensors, so no audible alarm. Its not something that can be just turned on.

If you have no parksense buttons you probably dont have parksense(audible alarm). Are there round sensors in your bumper?? If not no parksense!

There are no round sensors in my bumper. Is this something that can be added without spending and arm and a leg?

That,(I'm sure) will be answered by someone here that has alot more knowledge than I have on being able to add parksense but you will need to replace bumpers for ones with cutout round holes at least.

Has anyone had any experience with aftermarket back up audio sensor systems - such as the Hopkins Backup Sensor System - Audible Alarm License Bracket Mount?
