That’s not the reason these 2022 trucks are doing it. It’s because it’s a new safety feature they added for 2022 to have the horn chirp if the vehicle is left running when the fob leaves the vehicle, in case the owner is unaware that they left the vehicle running. Because of the carbon monoxide deaths from this happening in people’s attached gararages, there’s legislation that been introduced that is most likely going to lead to NHTSA to issue a final ruling that all push button start vehicles are going to have to have some sort of safeguard for that situation.Do you have another FOB in the truck? It also does this if you leave the key in it.
Make a report to alfaobd [email protected] , it may need an update to "see" the 2022 options. The RF hub is programmable, you need to see the dealer for a PIN. but again, if the option isn't in alphaobd yet, there's no procedure you can use to change it. It doesn't pull them from the computer, they are all programmed in.That’s not the reason these 2022 trucks are doing it.

I’ve been all through the BCM settings of a 2022, and there’s no way to turn this off. I believe it’s just built into the RF Hub programming, which isn’t configurable.

I’ve been talking to Alexey quite a bit about this (and a few other things he’s working on adding) since this feature was discovered on the HDs a few moths ago. He’s come to the conclusion that it’s not a configurable feature, just like remote tailgate release and remote lowering is not configurable- ie, they are programmed into the RF hub with no way for the dealer tool to change it, and no way for alfaOBD to do it. The PIN for the RF Hub is useless for AlfaOBD since it’s not static anymore on the 5th gens.Make a report to alfaobd [email protected] , it may need an update to "see" the 2022 options.

Nope, the sole purpose of the feature is to alert you that the vehicle is still running.Beeping with keyfob in pocket when running has another purpose other than a possible carbon monoxide safety item.
Here's the scenario: you start the truck for your wife, load the bags, she gets in, she drives off...while you have the fob in your pocket. She gets halfway to her mother's place and stops for gas. Now she's immobilized...
Yes I read that. Still not a fan. Not very practical as a safety feature IMO.it is a safety issue letting you know the fob has left the truck
it can not be turned off.
been too many cases where people leave a vehicle running with a child inside and it either gets stolen or the child puts the vehicle in gear and causes a crash.Yes I read that. Still not a fan. Not very practical as a safety feature IMO.
it is a safety issue letting you know the fob has left the truck

Again- the feature where the horn honks 3 times when leaving the vehicle running, and exiting with the fob has nothing to do with reminding you the fob has left the vehicle, or vehicles getting stolen, etc.been too many cases where people leave a vehicle running with a child inside and it either gets stolen or the child puts the vehicle in gear and causes a crash.
gee that was what i said!!Again- the feature where the horn honks 3 times when leaving the vehicle running, and exiting with the fob has nothing to do with reminding you the fob has left the vehicle, or vehicles getting stolen, etc.
The SOLE purpose of the feature is to remind you that the vehicle is still running, because it doesn’t know if you are briefly stepping away, or if you parked the vehicle in an attached garage and forgot to shut the vehicle off. It has been implemented by multiple vehicle manufacturers to prevent carbon monoxide deaths from people parking in their garages, that are attached to the living quarters of the house, and forget to turn off their vehicles.
Actually, here is exactly what you said:gee that was what i said!!
No, it is not a safety issue letting you know the fob has left the truck.it is a safety issue letting you know the fob has left the truck
it can not be turned off.
No, it has not been implemented because there have been too many cases where people leave a vehicle running with a child inside and it either gets stolen or the child puts the vehicle in gear and causes a crash.been too many cases where people leave a vehicle running with a child inside and it either gets stolen or the child puts the vehicle in gear and causes a crash.
yes it was do some researchActually, here is exactly what you said:

You are correct that it can not be turned off, though.
No, it has not been implemented because there have been too many cases where people leave a vehicle running with a child inside and it either gets stolen or the child puts the vehicle in gear and causes a crash.
It has been implemented because of carbon monoxide deaths.
