It plugs in to the factory harness for the security gateway module. Your OBD2 port stays open. Also acts as a SGW bypass if you wa t to use alfaOBD. There are lots of other features it provides that you may find useful. I love mine, and feel it was worth the price. You can find them on group buys for $50 off several times a year.
aren't humans funny?

alright chief..
It is a little humorous. However, I'd like to know how many prospective buyers Ram surveyed said..."I like the tech on your truck, and if you can make it yell at me when I step out of the running truck with the fob in my pocket, we have a deal!"
And in fairness to the OP, the fact that a $300 accessory can disable the honk shows that Ram either deliberately chose to add this feature and lock it, or didn't consider at all that some buyers wouldn't like it, neither of which is an acceptable approach.

So it tries to replace common sense except now the horn just beeps three times and nothing else changed.the horn honking comes from people leaving their vehicle running and kids putting it in drive or reverse when the driver gets out
and we have argued this to death in this thread
Horn when exiting
So I jump out of my truck a lot on job sites. I tend to leave it running because it’s cold out and I’m only out a few minutes. However if I leave it running and key is in my pocket it honks 3 times. How do I disable this?
Not saying that some people wouldn't use this feature, just that there should be a choice to turn it on and off, without having to spend more money. What is the rationale that the honk cannot be disabled, but forward collision warning and rear brake assist can be turned off?the horn honking comes from people leaving their vehicle running and kids putting it in drive or reverse when the driver gets out

If you're in the woods just leave the key in truck. I do that if I stop for a coffee and the wife and dog wants the A/C or radio on.
Heck, I complain when a 12 pack of soft drinks goes up $1.

Well, since almost every new vehicle has this feature, shouldn't be too much of a concern, and if you are going to walk that far away from your vehicle that a thief, who probably wasn't even looking to steal a car until he heard the honk, can run to your vehicle, jump in, and drive off before you have time to stop them, probably should have just turned the truck off.
