Hello,

I have a problem with my 2021 Laramie.
Last week i changed two things, my cargo lights to led, and a new plastic trim from the center console.

After the change. When i use the remote start, and i wil press the startbuton inside, key not detected.

When i don’t use the remote start, the startbuton is working normal.

Also locking the doors is sometimes a problem now.

We can help me with the good solution.

The both batterys from both keys are changed, both keys have the same problem.

Help me please.

Gr. PATRICK

Start by reverting back to original configuration.
The LED`s causing EMI would be my suspect.

I wil try it tomorrow, it look a way better with leds 🫣

When this is te problem, is there a good error free led?

I read also another topic, change the center console and he have the error key not detected, there is a antenne or something in the center console?

There are several posts here on the forums about the LED`s what work and do not cause interference. Lasfit? perhaps.
Do a search on that subject matter.
There is a low frequency antenna located somewhere in the vicinity of the center console. Pretty sure it is not actually in the console it self, could be wrong tho.
Like I stated earlier, revert back to original configuration, then modify step by step and see when things go squirrely.

I live in the Netherlands, Lasfit is hard to find here.

I read this topic, i removed the center console for change the trim……. First i will try the leds back tot original.
