Also, I figured I'd see about the BCM update to fix my Proximity Wake-up. I asked. The guy SAYS that it wasn't working before because of the low battery voltage from bad batteries. I very explicitly asked if they come on now just from walking up with the fob in your pocket, without unlocking...

Dealer says my truck is ready. They say both batteries had bad cells and 2 new batteries was all it needed.

I work from home. I've had my '25 Limited for 29 days. I already have 2100 miles on it. I was loving it... until yesterday. Went out to go get lunch and it was dead as a door nail. I got out my voltmeter. Main battery was at 5V. Backup battery was at 2V. I tried charging it with my motorcycle...

Oh, and in the meantime, I finally got a call back from someone at the dealership where I bought the truck. Long story short, he said that they DID transmit the registration of my ownership of the truck to Mopar 3 weeks ago, but they now see that - for unknown reasons - it didn't get picked up...

Update: Tow truck arrived and we used his booster pack to jump start the truck. It worked. My truck took an extra second and then started up. He disconnected the booster pack and my truck seemed totally fine. So, the tow truck driver left and I went to drive it for a bit to let the batteries...

Today is exactly 4 weeks since I got the truck.

So, I called Roadside Assistance. 800-521-2779 Apparently, that is farmed out to a 3rd party. They took my VIN, looked things up, and told me that that VIN is not coming up as my truck. They found me and, according to them, I still own my '21, not this '25. I traded the '21 in for the '25...

Well... :( :( :( I bought my brand new '25 Limited less than 1 month ago. I drive it almost every day. Already have over 2K miles on it. I just went out to get some lunch and run by the bank and my truck was totally dead. I got out my voltmeter. The main battery is just under 5V. The backup...

It can't hurt to check them all. When I checked Zeigler and Granger last month, Granger was $150 cheaper for my plan. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/maxcare-zeigler-is-cheaper-than-granger.66896/ Florida has a state law that extended warranties are not allowed to be sold at a...

I hate 22's on a 4x4 truck. Even if it's a Cowboy Cadillac, I still want enough tire sidewall to not rash the wheel on any old normal height curb. That is just dumb. I changed from none to Ramboxes when I got my '19 1500. I have never had a moment's regret. My truck is my daily driver and I...

It can be easy. Or it can be really hard. It seems to mostly depend on whether you have management that is capable of identifying and hiring software developers that actually know what they're doing and then pay them what they are worth. Many management teams lack one or both of those...

Yes, I agree that they probably *could*. But, it seems likely that using the Apple Wallet infrastructure that already exists is probably a LOT easier than rolling all that themselves. If I were writing that, I would absolutely NOT want to take responsibility for producing the code to store a...

Yes. As far as I know SPAAK is standard equipment on a Limited. He doesn't have a sig that says what truck he has and I keep failing to notice his screen name when I reply... lol! When I got mine, the dealer had a packet in a big manila envelope that had my truck's owners manual, 2 key fobs...

That makes no sense, to me. My g/f's Mercedes is similar. We get in. She has the key fob. But, to have it automatically enable her "profile" (i.e. seat memory settings, radio presets, etc.) she has to enter a PIN. A fingerprint sensor to start and drive the car would be fine if it worked...

I think - at least for Apple, I haven't had an Android in a while - that the Apple Wallet itself (which is where I think your digital key will be stored) has some requirement to talk to the back-end server (e.g. a Mopar server) as part of the process of storing the digital key in the wallet...
