Been in a high speed chase or two or three and a couple of accidents. Don't need the warning, I just put the seatbelt on. Some of the other "helpful" features, full agreement.

I went in to the dealership service department with the following list of modifications and they said they wouldn't do any of it because it was safety related. Do you guys think an independent shop would do this stuff for me? If it's even possible. (yes I have OCD)

-Disable seat belt not plugged in chirp
-Disable exterior back light from turning on @unlock and @Lock
-Disable dashboard lights from turning on @unlock and @door open
-Disable tire pressure sensors
-Disable turn signal clicking noise
-Lower volume of the warning indicator beep (or disable entirely)
-Set console and dashboard screens to 'screen off' mode by default
Seatbelt chime delete here. This is what I did... and my video ;)

For me backing up with the door open was a big driver for this... since without the seatbelt plugged in it will put the tranny in park if you try and open the door.

There are numerous tweaks on our trucks, making it hard to keep up.

Your truck may have different setting options than mine, but my Uconnect 8.4C has the adjustments under Settings/Door & Locks.

Or, this CSM option can be set with AlfaOBD, at least on my truck. :cool:

Do you have the Lock settings options in your Uconnect configured the same as I've posted above?

AlfaOBD is a software App that allows us to tweak or customize the BCM and other modules on our trucks. The URL for the AlfaOBD thread is shown in my signature line.

Buy directly from this site, not from elsewhere, unless you want to spend more $.


You will also require an OBD interface and a Security Gateway Bypass cable. And, either a Windows PC or an Android device. I use a windoze laptop and a USB interface.

This is a commonly used Bluetooth/OBD interface. On sale today for $112.


And the preferred SGW bypass cable.



I haven't tried disabling this option, but it's on my list now. :cool:

If it beeps when you shut the door it is telling you something is amiss. Fob in vehicle, some door not fully closed, ignition not in off position, headlights or running lights still on, etc.

Once my Diesel build is done, Im deleting the entire OEM electrical system from my RAM ,

its super simple all you need is the Jackpot 2 HEMI EFI System and the Stand Alone MaxxECU for the 8 speed. and since I hate dodge so much im also removing the cab and using my 1961 IHC Cab on it :cool:

No more TIPM will be glorious. :birgits_tiredcoffeeand lets not forget that it will only cost me 500$ a year thru Hagerty Classic car insurance as it will be registered as a 1961 :anitoof:

You mean who was I chasing? The first time was on the way back to the station for dinner break with a hot pizza in the back seat. Hot stuff and a mess as well.
