Key Left Vehicle Feature (Three Horn Chirp)

[Crazy Dane]

The beeps are the most annoying feature in the whole truck.

Let me jump out and open the gate at the hunting property, beep,beep,beep, ***

Let me hop out to take the straps off of the boat, beep,beep,beep,Dam

Both of the above scenarios happen well before the sun comes up and always seems extra loud.

@RamCares how about a poll if owners would like the option of being able to turn off all exterior lights with the engine running?

Can't you just set the parking brake to achieve that anymore? I think it used to be that way.

Would also like to have the option to adjust the heat level on the heated steering wheel.

start a new thread on this, this thread is for the 3 honks

@RamCares I love my 22 3500, except for this stupid “feature”. My neighbors are not impressed. I’m sure other peoples aren’t either and this will mean fewer sales for the associated brands. Please fix it ASAP.

Hey everyone,

We'd love to get your opinion on how you feel about the Key Left Vehicle Feature otherwise known as the Three Horn Chirp, or the horn that sounds when you've left your Key Fob inside of your truck or when your truck is left running without the Key Fob inside.

It's the second most annoying feature Ram has ever put on a pickup truck behind AutoPark.

Every time my wife and I go somewhere and I hop out to check the mailbox, run into the gas station, or whatever the horn blows 3 times and it embarrasses both of us because everyone around turns and looks at us. Some people also get ticked off because they assume you're blowing the horn at them which can start some drama.

PLEASE give us a software update to remove this needless feature.

Poll should be, "How many pages does it take to wreck a thread on 5thgenrams.com"

It’s one of the most annoying features I have ever had on any vehicle. Why can’t it just work like every other keyless vehicle and state on the dash that the key has left the vehicle?

Poll should be, "How many pages does it take to wreck a thread on 5thgenrams.com"

P.S. The answer is: Many less than it does on HDRAMS.COM

Hopefully Ram gives us this option, but until then, just make sure your door doesn't fully latch and it won't honk.

@RamCares

Any word on this?

What’s the word on this? Sounds like most everyone would like the option to disable.

@RamCares So..... is this going anywhere? Can we PLEASE get a software update to at least add an option to the UConnect screen where we can turn this "3 honk" bull**** off? PLEASE?

 

[djevox]

I agree. F*** that horn honk.

Don't we have enough warnings and signs to pay attention to already? Just let me worry about driving the truck. Quit trying to figure out if the key is in my pocket or not!!!!!! I had a 19, 20, and 21 Ram 1500 and now I'm in a 22 and I absolutely hate this honking bologna.

When I pull up to my daughter's school to pick her up, the parking lot is next to the playground. There are usually little preschoolers playing on the playground when I pull up. If I forget to take my key out of my pocket and leave the truck running it absolutely freaks those kids and teachers out. It's so embarrassing!!!!!!

 

[Darksteel165]

It's so embarrassing!!!!!!

That's my problem with it.
People looking at me like i'm a dumb a$$ who forgot to turn off their truck or something. Or maybe i'm just getting out for a second and I don't want to shut my truck off to turn it back on and hear the exhaust make a loud noise on a start because maybe it's early in the morning and people might be asleep and don't want to hear a cold start or a horn.

This thread was funny because I know they are not going to do anything about it, just trying to get engagement. No one needed a poll to determine if majority of the people would want the ability to turn it on or off, it was a farce.

They might add it as an option, but I don't know why anyone would expect there to be a software update within a few weeks of them asking the question.

That's probably like the 3rd or 4th reason they are looking at you like that.

 

[Trippi]

It really is a strange feature...like they seriously think somebody exited their vehicle 'for good' and forgot to shut it off? If this is their attempt at trying to stop theft DO BETTER cuz this ain't the scenario. To me it only makes sense and has saved me a bunch of times is if I am trying to lock the truck with the keys still in it. I do not have passive entry so I would just toss the keys in the console and forget to grab them when I exit. I always hit the door lock to the lock the truck on my way out so leaving the keys behind happens quite a bit...but the truck is OFF so this would be a good alert IMO.

HATE IT!!!!
