I will 100% lose this thing or leave it in the car and have it stolen. Plus it gives me a massive bulge
 
I cannot answer your question but felt the same way in the beginning. My truck/fob does not have the proximity sensors so I have to hit the button to unlock and lock. So I would just assume to have a key as well since I have to get it out of my pocket to open the doors. Now on my work Durango it’s has the proximity and having to never remove it from my pocket is nice since I’m in and out of the car all day. I have gotten used to it now and with my keys attached to a key binder with it, I can deal. I completely understand your thoughts though.

I can't help you with losing the key but you could lose any key so you'll have to deal with that no matter what. You cannot lock the keyfob in the car, it won't lock from the outside if the fob is inside.

As far a switching to regular key, it might be possible because I went from a key to the keyless so I assume the reverse may be possible? It will certainly require some parts and programming the BCM.

Shove a fob in each front pocket then you will have a balanced look :cool:. Should help you walk a straight line better to. It will keep you from veering left or right depending on which pocket you have the starting potato in.:p :oops: :rolleyes:

You can lock the fob in the car!!!!! I parked the car at my sisters house and went inside. My son went back to the truck to get something from the front seat and I assume as he was climbing out he hit the lock button and closed the door. My tradesman doesn’t have proximity as I said before so there is also not a push button lock on the outside.
 
Can you just use the app to lock doors with key fob in the truck?

On a 2019+ Ram, no matter what trim level or whether or not it has proximity locks, the situation you describe is not possible. If it happened, there is an issue with your fobik safe feature. The only way to lock the keys in the car is either- manually push the door locks down on each door, attempt to lock the fob in the truck 3 times in a row, or when the truck is in remote start mode.
 
Problem Solved for about $3.

Or if your dog hits the lock button on the door panel inside when the doors are all shut

no argument Jimmy. I don’t know how or why it happened. I just know the local sheriff’s department had to come open the door for me. I figured it was because I did not have proximity for the locks. I figure he hit the door lock on the door panel when he was climbing out. He was 7 at the time not know the fob was on the dash.
 
Can I remove the proximity lock on the tailgate?
