Key Left Vehicle Feature (Three Horn Chirp)

[RamCares]

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.

I loathe it. I don't have my truck yet, but my wife's Jeep has it and it's obnoxious.

Allow it to be an option that can be turned off! It is completely unnecessary for most people and can be quite disrupting to others.

It's disrupting and disturbing, especially during quiet hours anywhere you go that may or may not have actual quiet hours. I want it gone, but would be happy with the ability to disable it.

I have a 2022 bighorn 3500 DRW and would like to be able to turn the 3 chirps of the horn off when the vehicle is running and I exit the vehicle with the keys in my pocket.

if there are federal safety standards that disallow it to be turned off - at a minimum I'd like to reduce it to a single low "beep" that isn't generated by the horn.

The ideal solution would be to have 3-4 options that each owner could select (three horn chirp, turn off completely, and then another option or two somewhere in between)


if this is for 2023s and newer....change it to a four horn sequence, at least then the general public would be glad mine only honks 3x

I strongly dislike it and want it gone, but would happily settle for being able to disable it. On more than one occasion, it has caused unwanted attention.

I want it gone one way or another. Dumbest feature on the truck.

I see nothing but complaints about it or questions on how to disable it on forums and social media.

This thread should give you your answer:

Honking - chirping - 3 three horn beeps honks chirps - when I leave my vehicle - merged threads

2022 Ram 2500 When I leave my vehicle while it’s running, the lights flash and the horn chirps 3 times. Any idea how I might disable this?

I would like to meet the engineer that created it and punch him in his face!

I'm ready to give up having a horn just to stop the three beeps. I'm sure my neighbors agree

 

[baker01]

Make it an option. Off or on.

 

[mkmsr]

It's embarrassing and makes you look like an inconsiderate jerk when it's early or late.

My fob never comes out of my center console. I would rather someone steal my truck than listen to that nonsense.

It needs to be an option within the vehicle settings that can be either enabled or disabled at the user's preference.
It may be something some users would want, however I would prefer to be able to disable it.

Just annoyed the heck out of the neighbors… hooking, moving, and backing a trailer. I bet it went off 4 times.

Yes, I should be “used” to it but it’s simply not logical which makes it difficult to adapt to.

 

[Great White North Eh]

Make it stop…for Pete’s sake make it stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mountainears]

I spent hours and wrote up a whole article found in these forums on how to bypass it using the VSIM. It’s not easy but enough people loathe this that I’m sure it is being used.

Seems like it should easily be made a user controlled option that is on by default but can be disabled.

Remove it or add option to select it. Being able to discretely leave vehicle running and lock it to run a quick errand was a big nice to have on the Ford.
