Ram "Smart" Information Display System?

[MFortie1]

Hello All:

Former Ram owner, now have a 15 GMC DMax. I'm thinking about going back to Ram.

I'm wondering about whatever Ram has for a driver information system -- my GMC displays all kinds of 'warnings' from low tire pressure to alerts if I approach another vehicle too fast, etc.

BEGIN RANT:
I absolutely hate the GM DIC (Driver Information Control) system. Everytime I get a warning, say, low tire pressure (at 59 PSI), it displays the warning with a 'DISMISS' option -- problem is, once I dismiss the warning, it pops back up every 30 seconds or so. This is typical with any type of warning. So if I CHOOSE to drive with 59 PSI in my rear tires, the wife, er, DIC, nags at me constantly throughout what may be an hour commute to work. And I can't shut it up. :****:

I also can SEE the cars in front of me and have been driving for nigh on to 50 years and don't need to be 'warned' I'm approaching too fast...
END RANT

So, I'd like to know if Ram has a similar system and whether or not any 'warnings' can be disabled (or at least muted.)

I'm the type who LOATHES being required to update my phone/tablet/laptop/stereo receiver, etc. And I even work in the technology field...

Thanks in advance,

Mark

I couldnt tell you on the updated 4th gens but on my 11 i dont even have tpms sensors in the wheels. If i choose to look at the tire pressure gauge in the fancy dash display it just reads 0 PSI on all 4 corners. When i start my truck it will tell me about my trailer brakes not working, but it wont pop up again until the next startup

My 2500 6.4 has the basic system, tire psi, coolant temps, oil temps, tranny temps, oil psi, fuel economy, trip mileage, engine hours. Nothing annoying. I love it.

As for the TPMS for the tires, RAM only warns you with a chime one time at every start of the engine, after that, the low pressure warning just stays lit in the dash, but no chime.
I like the way RAM does it, over the chevy & gmc, RAM will only warn you once... people with GM`s have to be reminded constantly every 5 minutes, or they`ll forget...lol.

Yea 4th gen only tells you an issue on start up for inflate tire or bulb out message then goes away. We dont have any of the nanny systems like adaptive cruise or surround cameras that pop up when driving or flash at you and slam on the brakes. The most we got is parking sensors that only beeps when you are like inches away from something.

If one or more of my tires is low, the light stays on.

Yea the tire pressure light stays on but he wont have the message coming up every 30 seconds telling him tire pressure is low like he said happens in his GM. Plus you can program the pressure to a lower psi that you run so you wont even have that issue like a lot of the 2500/3500 guys do.

Basically same thing on 5th Gen even with premium EVIC. Chimes, tells U tire low. Now on the Fancy Higher trims that have Lane Avoidance and advanced Cruise, I do not know. I just poor boy, got Bighorn.. Couldn't justify spend another 20K for all the added stuff, just saying...
