Can someone tell me how I can get more than 3 feet from my running 2022 Ram, with FOB in my pocket, and not have the horn start honking at me? Thanks

Maybe turn off proximity

Turn off the truck. Use the remote start function if you want to leave it running. If you leave it in the normal running mode and someone hops into it, they can drive it away, even without the FOB. They can't start it again if they shut it off, but as long as it is running they can keep driving it. With remote start they can't drive away without a FOB.

You can’t.

Excellent suggestion above by @Dean2 . I will only add the remote start times out after 15 minutes and shuts down. Could be important in some circumstances.

When my dogs are inside I’ll leave it running if it’s hot. That horn chirp is an annoying feature that should have a choice to enable or disable in the option menu.

PS- I’ve seen some mentions of “Police” mode enabling in Alfa OBD. I bet law enforcement vehicles don’t honk when they’re left running.

I've never tested this action, maybe you have.

If I remote start my truck, it forces me to press the start button before I can select drive or any other options.

Would the truck not first detect the FOB before I press the start button and not function without the FOB being present?

If this were the case, I could safely remote start and not be concerned about theft provided the FOB remains remote from the truck. This sounds logical even if it's not true.

BTW, mine never gets hornee with me other than after attempting to lock the FOB inside, while the truck is not running. If a passenger is in the truck, as soon as the FOB exits the vehicle, they get to listen to a constant nag chime.

I wasn't quite clear enough. I edited it above but you are right. Remote start, no FOB, no go anywhere. I added the the improved wording below. Yes, I have tried the drive away without FOB and you can drive till you run out of gas. Other thing to worry about is, if you set your Fob down outside the truck after you start it, drive to your destination, shut down and get back in truck, you can't start it again.

Simple cure for ding bothering passengers, leave them the FOB. Unless it is your Mother in law and you want to annoy her.

Yes, I tested the 'driveaway without the FOB feature' after my first few days of ownership.

We require more input from the OP although, as you said, the obvious solution to leave the truck running is to shut off, hop out, and remote start.

Now he's protected from theft provided he is far enough away from the proximity sensing of the FOB.

The one time I was been able to get 5-6 feet from my truck without horn going off was when I left the drivers door open...

 

[HughS]

My Truck does not have Remote Start - I just want to be able to get out and pick up a package, or go to the back of the truck to dump sacks of corn while the truck is still running - WITHOUT the horn beeping at me... surely there is a way to turn this off.
- Farmer Fran, can you elaborate on the 'proximity' info you alluded to and where I can take a look at those settings?
