Interested to hear more about this bypass.

No... Uconnect subscription is not required. I also have a 2018 Durango. All my 1 yr trial subscriptions ran out last October; I didn't renew anything and everything about the key fob works as usual.

If you have aftermarket accessories, forum rules require you to post pics :geek: Welcome aboard.

Something about the TRX appeals to me. Not quite sure what it is. Maybe... THAT MONSTER MOTOR :geek:

Not a huge deal since the traction control is pretty good. I'm thinking about ordering an open differential (deliberately). Having a 3rd differential option is a good thing, not a bad thing: open, LSD, or locker. Each of these behave differently. Not worse or better, different, with each suiting...

Fob frequrncies are fixed: RF transmits at 433MHz, LF at 125kHz. The device is not mimicking a frequency, it's mimicking a "data packet". If the hacking device precisely repeats this packet, the truck will believe the key fob is near and it will do anything as when the fob is actually present...

You might have to take the reigns and be pro-active in the contact. I visited two dealers and same thing; both seemed much less active compared to sales people on other FCA vehicles I bought. Ram 1500 sales for the past few months have been at or near all-time highs... so maybe they have a lot...

Mmm. Intriguing. I ponder the more rare phenomenon of... Crap Occurring :geek:

Very nice. For those wanting stencil dimensions, another guy did this last year and posted. You'll have to search for that thread; I don't have it linked.

Rolling codes are in the RF transmission; no worries there regarding these type of hacks.... hence my "baloney" comment. Although not mentioned in the OP, but everybody caught except me, that article is talking about capturing the LF signal and mimicking key fob proximity. I'm not sure if any...

Behind the rear seat.

Have the dealer test your RF module; this module also controls the LF function of fob proximity detection.

+ Hill Descent

Is Eco mode not obvious by looking at the fuel economy gauge? I don't have a Ram but in my Hemi Durango the instantaneous fuel economy reading jumps by a significant amount when MDS activates.

Baloney. Modern key fobs use rolling codes. Make sure your garage door opener does too.

I hear ya man... but file this under the "that sux" category and move on. Don't waste more time stewing on it.

Go the simple route and just get a plugin inverter?

Awesome post; I've been jones'ing for some new Pentastar feedback. I'd like to see the 4th gen and 5th gen torque charts to see how the new engine was tweaked.

Yup. Solution available; use search.

You might need AA... accessories anonymous :geek:
