Does anyone know whether or how you can disable the unlock function for the ram box and tailgate locks to keep them locked if you take the truck in for service or have to valet park it somewhere? I have asked every dealer that I have stopped at and the response has always been the same "I don't know, no one else has ever asked that". I travel a lot all over the country and I they are full of tools and all sorts of stuff that I "might" need and I don't want to lose any of it. My local dealer has been good about recognizing the issue and has tried every combination of key fob and little key inside, even reached out to ram service tech guy that happened to be there one day I was there. We even got the tech manual that told us which fuse to pull and they still worked after pulling the fuse. I would have thought that since Mopar sells a gun rack for the rambox, a light bulb would have lit up and some bright engineer would have said "how do we keep that secure".
I have a tonneau cover and I want to disable the unlock function on that also. Surely that option could be programmed into the system because you can choose whether the deployable steps don't deploy or always stay deployed. You can choose whether or not the heated seats and steering wheel automatically turn on at startup in cold weather. Same with the cooled seats in hot weather. The only thing that I've been able to do is open the rambox, take the cover off the lock assembly and unplug the wire and lock it manually and keep the key while giving service or valet the key fob. Haven't figured out anything for the tailgate yet.
It would also be nice if we could program the exhaust brake to stay on at each startup. I also wish the latch striker bar in the rambox had a slot in it so we could adjust the tightness of the latches.
On the navigation screen, Uconnect 5, setting the "over the speed limit notification", we used to be able to set how many mph over the speed limit that we wanted a reminder ding and color change in case we didn’t notice a change in the speed limit. Currently with the Tom Tom navigation, that notification is not adjustable and is set to 3 mph over the speed limit and it dings at 3, if you slow down even 1 mph and go back to 3 over, it is constantly dinging. If you set the volume down so it isn't so annoying, it also sets the volume of your navigation directions down so you miss the verbal directions given. It should have separate adjustments. Better yet, get rid of Tom Tom and let us have a choice of which navigation maps we want. You also can't zoom out or get the little speed limit icon in the lower right corner while you are in half screen with navigation. I think the bean counters have too much power.
Any help with these issues will be appreciated. Thanks
