Forward Collision Warning (FCW) - option missing

[mcat79]

A while back I disabled FCW on my 2022 Laramie, and I was looking to reenable it. It appears that the option to enable/disable is no longer there. Can anyone else confirm in the most recent update (FCA-MY24.U35.26-PROD) if their setting is there or if it looks like mine? See attached

Same issue here. The option disappeared after that update. Now I get "auto brake disabled" in the messages with no way to turn it on.

@RamCares this seems like a safety issue if this can’t be turned on…

I have never been able to completely turn mine off, are you saying there was an actual On/Off selection for you?

 

[mcat79]

Yeah, there was an option. Here is a screenshot I found online.

I believe that in 2023 it became a requirement and can't be turned off. Perhaps that's what is going on now. They removed the option to turn it on and off now.

Bought my '22 in April of that year, there was not an option on mine. I wonder if it has something to do with mine being a Level B as opposed to a "2" or "II".

Yeah, there was an option. Here is a screenshot I found online.

And I definitely didn;t have that many nanny choices, which is one of the reasons I bought the truck that I did.

My 24 had the option to turn it off/warning only, then that stupid update hit and it disappeared. Since I had it set to warn only, the messages center always shows "auto emergency braking disabled".

I have yet to have my front collision braking come on on my 2025. I've gotten the audible warning a couple times but I am not really sure if the collision braking is even working.

Anyone aware of an alfaobd option to enable/disable FCW?

Thread 'How to: Add Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane assist, FCW & Auto Hi-beam to Ram 1500'

Apr 17, 2021

The following is to be used as a guide on how to install ACC, FCW, Lane Assist, Auto High Beam headlights and rain-sensitive wipers in your 5th Gen Ram 1500, also known as the Advanced Safety Group. I’ve also included a guide at the end of this document on how to install blind spot monitoring. Obviously, I cannot guarantee this will work on your truck, but I am confident it will. I was able to install all these features on my 2019 Ram Lonestar which originally came with an 8.4" Non-Nav Unit with Dual Climate control. I believe this can be activated on any 5th Gen, but I’m literally the...

These options disappeared for me as well after FCA-MY24.U35.26-PROD. I haven't seen reports of FCA removing the ability to turn off AEB across other models, so I'm hoping this is another bug that can be resolved with a future update. It's very concerning that we seem to be going backwards with every new Uconnect version. @RamCares any additional info you can provide?

I noticed the exact same issue as you. Has this ever been resolved? It’s pretty concerning since this is a safety feature that seems to have been disabled without me realizing, and I only caught it by randomly checking the messages on my cluster.

[Hellhound]

Nope. At this point I don't care since I'd rather rely on my own judgment for braking.

 

[wegasque]

I've had mine turned off and with warning only since day 2 of ownership. It's more concerning to me if they force it to be turned on all the time with no mechanism to disable it. The system is buggy and after having almost caused an accident because a sensor went off with nothing in front of me, I will not use it.

Any luck this was resolved with ramcares?
