Has anybody added the factory intrusion alarm system?

Here is an interesting string...

2019 RAM 1500 Factory OEM Alarm system window shock sensor installation

So after reviewing Tony's video for the 2019 RAM 1500 window shock sensor,I was curious to see how he did this.I was assuming much like all the audio/alarm shop's in my neighborhood that I would have to spend additional money for another alarm system.I mean really I just spent money for RAM's...

This looks like a nice universal unit to install, if anyone has the electrical experience in installing a window/shock sensor some details would be very appreciated. https://www.amazon.com/SCYTEK-SINGL...reak+detector&qid=1567863297&s=gateway&sr=8-1

When I have the time I'm going to talk to the guys in Best Buy for a simple glass/shock sensor only tied into my factory system. I want to keep it as basic as possible.

Alfaobd has a setting to enable VTA --- vehicle alarm. I am still waiting on my bypass module to do such, but in the meantime if a member who has the bypass/Alfa combo and wants the factory alarm, they should easily enable it....

Could you link me to the bypass module that you purchased? And maybe the OBD sensory you're using. Thank you

I bought this--
2018+ FCA Security Gateway Module Bypass – Infotainment.com
upon checkout use JJ10 and you will get 10 bucks off.. no idea when the deal ends..... As far as the OBD device, I have one that I use on my JK, its USB from my pc.... some Amazon inexpensive unit

Yes, enabling the setting in Alfaobd does activate the intrusion alarm.
I tested before ( no alarm opening door from inside , window down without key) and after (horns blows, flashing lights).

Perfect! Thank you.
Did you have to add the hood switch?

@ Ray... I believe there is a setting in Alfa that will bypass the hood switch... look for this ... CBC Features-VTA Hood Ajar Monitoring

Hah! Thank you very much.

Now we are making progress!!

Alright so here's what I did today. I took my Bighorn to the dealer and asked them to activate the intrusion alarm. It took all of 10 minutes and was done. Just to be clear I have the level 1 equipment group with remote start. I do have a blinking red light on the dash and the alarm functions as it should.

I don't think remote start really matters unless the hood switch is important.

Good show! Thanks for the update.
The absence of the hood switch doesn't seem like it would be a show stopper for the alarm system.
If I understand the description in the service manual correctly, the switch presents an "open circuit" when the hood is closed. In other words, the system can't even tell that there's a switch there, until the hood is opened and the switch completes the circuit.
Of course, if the switch isn't there, the hood is left unprotected. Not a big deal, IMHO, since the release is inside, anyway.

I contacted the company that makes the entire wiring harness. After reviewing a video which showed the harness, I decided to go with my purchase. The harness is a complete package its much more than just a glass/shaker device, it has a relay unit, everything is already tape wrapped and all one has to do is connect the 4 wires and zip tie 2 units and the ribbon of wire. One wire is a ground (black), the second wire is (blue) connects to the trucks door switch(s), the third wire is (red) it connects to the fuse box power always on, and the fourth wire is (yellow) it connects to a 15 amp fuse (ignition on/off). When the stuff arrives I'll install it. I saw the install video and its not difficult. If not included in the package I'm going to use a fuse tap, and electrical tap connectors. I will not be stripping & wrapping wires or placing a wire under a fuse, its just not professional.
I think what they are selling is definitely worth $130. The equipment is worth ~$30.00 but the video of where to find the wires is absolutely worth the balance of $100. This unit is installed with a FACTORY ALARM. It won't work with an aftermarket system at all. Once I do the install I'll take pictures for you to see what the entire ribbon looks like, as well as my install. I hope to get it done within a week of receiving the package in the mail. If i'm not cutting anything my warranty should stay intact.

Here is the "package" you get for your $130.00. As you can see its not easy if you buy a shock/glass sensor. You can do nothing with that. Without having a relay & fuse nothing will work. I hope to install this later next week. The video makes it simple to understand. I feel his electrical work is quite sloppy. I'm using electrical connectors that just snap in and son't compromise any factory wiring at all.

@Blue--- once you have it all up and running please post up wiring diagram...

*** Also received my bypass module... all is good - OEM security (VTA) up and running and while I was in there I activated the fog lights to stay active with highs... next bed lights and overhead tail gate release...

I will post photos of everything I did including their video.

@Blueoverhead tail gate release...

I would love to know more about this. Like part number for the overhead piece and how to get this working.

I installed the factory damper and the instructions had a part number for the fob and instructions for remote release flash. However parts could not find the PN that the instructions had.

@KR--- I have a Bighorn with the tailgate damper and nothing on my key fob for tailgate... but I believe I can add/change the overhead console to have the switch to pop the tailgate .. my plan is too purchase this OEM part 6EK051X7AE then add that option to the BCM with Alfa...

 

[KRField]

@FM45 Same here. Does that console just have the release switch extra? I can pull part number but no description or image.

Yes it adds the switch for tailgate release... but before you order just double check with your parts guy... kind of expensive piece just to add rear pop... on a plus it does come with factory leds .... Edit add this for more info--- https://www.moparpartssurplus.com/p...4WD/CONSOLE-OVERHEAD/78301536/6EK051X7AE.html

This is very cool! I want to do this now.

Have you made any progress on adding the release??
