Disabling RSRA (Rear Seat Reminder Alert)
- Thread starter Shots
- Start date
You can make a backup file to use as a restore point like in alfaobd, but there’s no easy way to make a log of all the settings.
To make the backup, select calibration up top, click read, transfer all the files from the left box over to the right box, then save it as a .dat file.
To restore the bcm with that file, just choose that file and select write.
Side note tip:
You can do this same thing to clone a PCM.

I just enabled this menu option on my 2023 TPW and its working ... no more rear seat warning. The change added the option at the top of my menu.
My owners manual said it should have been there but never was. Thanks Jimmy .. for some reason I had not seen this thread until tonight !!!

If only there were simple step by step instructions on how to fix that.Yeah, my manual said it should be there too, but alas it's not.

LOL. If only I didn't have to buy a something that does 99% of the same stuff as something I already have.
Or you know, they could actually put stuff on the truck that they say is there (and other trucks with the exact same trim and year have). Just sayin'.
It's like the manual telling me how to use the trailer hitch, but then not installing it. I doubt everyone would be saying I shouldn't complain about not having that because I'm able to add it myself. This is no different. I shouldn't have to do it, even if I can. They messed up, that's not on me to rectify.

I can't speak for others, but it's really about the incessant complaining when the point has long been made and a fix is available. To expend more time and effort harping on about something rather then fixing it leaves me SMH.

I wouldn't call it incessant complaining. It's not like I'm making multiple threads about it, repeatedly looking for new answers. But if it comes up in other threads, I'm going to address it. I know the "solution", which is not an acceptable answer to me. Others may be okay with resolving the manufacturers mistake, but I'm not. If more people held companies accountable, instead of finding work arounds, then they'd produce a better products or at least stand behind the good ones that have mistakes.
To be clear, I'm not saying the Ram is a bad product. I really like my truck, and the RSRA is the only complaint I have with it. This was clearly just an oversight in programming for about 3 months. They could easily do the same thing everyone it telling me to do, and activate the option. If I can do it, they can too. I shouldn't have to do it though, it's there mistake.
But I'm not just talking about RSRA when I say people should hold companies accountable either. It happens all the time, with any number of things, on any number of products. People don't want to have to fight with a company, or take the time to do it. So they just fix the issues themselves, thus allowing companies to ignore their mistakes (however minor). Will FCA ever resolve this for me? No, I think not.
Sadly, exactly what I expected would happen has. I no longer "hear" the chime. It still does it, I've just gotten used to ignoring it so it doesn't register with me. If I pay attention, it's still there. On the upside it's not so annoying now, but what if there's a chime I should pay attention to? I won't register it because I've been trained not to. This has become an anti-safety feature, just like I thought it would.

^^^same on my 2024 Laramie. But Shots is right. We shouldn't have to fix a manufacturing/software mistake. It seems we're all beta testers and products are released half-baked or unfinished. I've just come to accept it. And don't get me started on RV quality. SMH

Exactly where it should be. But alas, a 3 month span during the 2023 production don't have it. It's not even the whole model year, so it's not even like it wasn't available for that year. Just a programing oversight that they refuse to fix.
