Key Left Vehicle Feature (Three Horn Chirp)

[1923bob]

They are crazy now. I got out after witnessing an accident to talk to the cops. I left it running while I talked to them with the door open. After 5 or 10 minutes, the truck shut off, and locked the parking brake. I got back in and restarted the truck. Parking brake would not release. I kept trying every thing to get it to release. No luck. I had to shut the truck off, take seat belt off, open and close the door, reinstall seat belt, and restart the engine before it would move.

Modern technology don't you just love it ?

The rest doesn't bother me, except having door closed and belt on to move. I put Mothers ceramic on today, and had to back up a couple feet to do front, then back up after. Pain in the a$$ to move 5 feet.

I should have added @RamCares but I don't think they do.

Judging by the fact that their last post on a thread that they created was 5 pages and 4 months ago, I'd say they tapped out.

OTA Update to add "Enable / Disable" functionality for this please RAM (Stellantis)!
Just bury it in the menus if it's somehow viewed as a vital "safety feature" and those who wish to disable can do so.
** Note: I sold my 2019 F-150 Platinum largely because of this feature (not exaggerating). But, then, found out it could be disabled in Forscan software on Fords.

Thanks in advance for actually listening to the customer here.

This was driving me crazy so when I installed my Switch Pro SP9100 recently I added a relay to disable the 3 honk, connected the relay to one of the Switch Pro buttons, and configured the button to utilize the spare trigger wire on the Switch Pro so when the door is opened and the lights come on it enables the button which enables the relay in turn disabling the honk until the light goes out and since there is a delay with the interior lights dimming after the door is shut the button stays enabled long enough to keep it from honking. When the button is not on then the horn works as normal so you can get the lock notifications or honk at those distracted drivers. I will say if it wasn't for the fact I was installing the Switch Pro already this setup would not be smart as it is not a cheap add but if you don't want the automation then a relay with a single switch is a pretty cheap route and personally a better option then purchasing a Tazer that has to be connected all the time.
