Locking yourself inside

[Mcmike]

I want to be able to lock myself inside my 2018 Rebel Ram with keyless entry. My wife was waiting in the truck for me to grab take-out in a particularly sketchy neighborhood. She locked the doors while I was gone but any grab of the handle will unlock the cab. Any solutions?

When you say any handle will unlock the cab, do you mean outside handles or interior?

Did you have a key fob in your pocket when you returned to the vehicle?

Turn off proximity in the menu

Take the fob with you when you go in to the resaraunt. Needs to be within a few feet of the car for the proximity to work.

that is too easy lol. but you are correct...

I do that when washing my car. I leave the FOB in my pocket and if proxy is on and you spray the handle it will go cause it to activate

That is so annoying that it does that.
So, I hardly ever wash my truck.

I have a truly tight brass container that I keep in my console. When I want my fob to be invisible I drop it in and screw it tight. Say you want to go for a swim but don't want to take your $600 fob to the beach. You can make a plain metal key and take that. Drop your fob into the container and lock up. When you return use your metal key, which will allow you entry but will set off the alarm. Fetch your fob to turn the alarm off. It's not easy to find a suitable metal cylinder or box but I found one. Maybe an iron pipe with two caps would work but I wouldn't leave it in a visible spot. Maybe paint it pink too. A Hello Kitty sticker would make it look even less intimidating in a search situation. An ebay search for "brass container" got 2600 hits, some of which might be compact enough and tight against radio frequencies.
