Disable "Key Fob Left" horn honk

[CaptainMike]

Is there a way to disable the horn warning that the key fob has left while my 2022 Ram 3500 is parked and idling? I'm in and out of the truck often during my day and not only is annoying to myself and those who happen to be around, but it is absolutely unnecessary. I did search on the forum, looked through the manual, and scrolled through the trucks settings without seeing any mention of it. Now, that doesn't mean it's not in one or more of those resources, but I simply can't find any reference to it. I did talk to my dealership service manager, but he didn't know offhand and their computers were down when we spoke. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks.

If you have the VSIM there's a wiring hack someone worked out a couple months ago that you can do. It requires basically rewiring the horns and adding some relays. Unfortunately there's no simple solution.

It stands for Vehicle System Interface Module. Usually unless you have a chassis cab you won't have the VSIM if you didn't intentionally order it, though it's relatively easy to add to 2021+ trucks. I think it's about $300?

Here's the thread about the 3 honk disable.

Eliminate 3 horn chirp when exiting vehicle while engine running

This topic has been discussed a bit in these forums, most recently in a merged thread located here. In that thread a solution was discussed to leverage the VSIM wiring as a way to bypass the BCM chirps while the engine was running. Other solutions were also discussed, but this is one that I...

Thanks again, I'll check it out. And I do not believe I have the VSIM.
