    FOB PROGRAM HELP

    Yea, that definitely points towards something other than the RF hub. Check the big BCM connector above left of the brake pedal. I accidentally pulled the cam lever loose once with my foot, and it caused all kinds of weird errors and codes.

    FOB PROGRAM HELP

    Can't AlphaOBD write the VIN to the hub. I'm pretty sure I just saw a post recently from someone who did it. Maybe I'm remembering wrong though.

    FOB PROGRAM HELP

    Yea, you'd think. But, when the RF hub is a computer, communicating with another computer, wth all of the various functions that these parts control, it's unlikely that ALL of the RF hubs functions failed at the same time. If, the RF hub is the problem, more likely that just one of its...

    FOB PROGRAM HELP

    It might be worth pulling the rear bulkhead and physically checking the RF hub and it's antennas/connectors. I just recently saw a post somewhere about a rear window leak resulting in a fried RF hub.

    FOB PROGRAM HELP

    That sounds a lot like your RF hub had died.

    FOB PROGRAM HELP

    Does your fob work to lock/unlock doors? If so, here is another option. I've been using one of these for 5 years. Use AlphaOBD to program one of these to work for your ignition. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KTIVLHO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&tag=ramforum-20 Just cut the metal part off and...

    AlfaOBD Help--> 2013 RAM BCM

    Thanks for updating this post with the results. These BCM's have pretty much been discontinued by Mopar, so used may be the only option for some. If so, it's good to know that a used BCM can be flashed with the correct configuration using AlphaOBD.

    Horn Honks 3 times after lock need help

    I read through to make sure this hasn't already been asked and answered, but do you have any aftermarket parts installed, that are spliced into or otherwise connected to the factory wiring? Things like aftermarket car alarms, remote starts, reverse cams, trailer brake controllers, etc? I few...

    2017 Ram Uconnect 3 - 5" issues

    I think I was mistaken about the hard reset method above. A couple forum searches indicate that this may be the proper procedure: With the radio powered on press the volume button and the tuner button until the screen shuts off and let off the buttons immediately, than take the key out of...

    2017 Ram Uconnect 3 - 5" issues

    Try a hard reset yet? I could be wrong, but I think on the 3" radios, you hold the power button for 10 seconds.

    Help! What would you do next? Hemi misfire and low power

    Ok, I'm really curious as to how you did this?

    Anyone seen this before? VP3 8.4 crash when reversing

    Just an update, for anyone in the future who has a similar issue and finds this thread. After 3 days and about a dozen drive/shutdown cycles. After the "reset to default settings", my VP3 radio appears to be working normally again. It also still has Nav, and somehow, oddly, after the reset...

    2013 Ram Outdoorsman Major Codes

    In case you haven't checked back in on this thread yet, this is the connector I was talking about. The last reply in this guys thread: https://www.ramforum.com/threads/uconnect-8-4-just-went-dead.209140/#post-2908296

    2013 Ram Outdoorsman Major Codes

    That sounds very much like a connector was left loose, or not reconnected. I would start with the big one above the left kick panel. I think it's the BCM connector. It has a big cam lever disconnector. I accidentally pulled mine loose with my foot once, and got a couple dozen codes and...

    Anyone seen this before? VP3 8.4 crash when reversing

    I read on another forum (Challenger, I think) earlier today that one of the fixes in the ra3 18.45.01 update was the issue with nav disappearing after a hard reset. Supposedly, after updating to 18.45.01, it no longer disappears after a reset? Do you know if that is correct or not? Has...

    Horn Honks 3 times after lock need help

    Do you have an extra key fob in the truck somewhere? In the center console maybe, or in a jacket pocket in the back seat or something. I believe there is some kinda thing like this it does to keep you from locking keys inside. ETA: Sorry, never mind. I just realized that you already...

    Anyone seen this before? VP3 8.4 crash when reversing

    I had it off back in 2017, when I installed the OEM trailer brake controller and backup camera. Everything is OEM inside, nothing aftermarket has ever been added. I've driven it several times today, and so far it has worked normally.

    Anyone seen this before? VP3 8.4 crash when reversing

    I decided to remove the nav by doing a factory reset this morning. The plan was to do the reset and drive it for the next couple weeks to see if the issue went away, or it keeps crashing. So, I went into the engineering menu and selected "reset to factory defaults". The radio rebooted, and...

    Curious about sales code ADN

    I'm not so sure. It may work out better than the dog!

    Curious about sales code ADN

    Make sure you take your dog! I hear that an off-leash dog is perfect for testing these features. The off-leash dog will immediately bail out of the truck and charge the nearest bear, nipping and barking until the bear is really pissed-off. Then the dog will run back to you and hide behind you...

    Curious about sales code ADN

    Jeep has, or had, a black bear package. It was some kinda appearance package named after Black Bear jeep trail, in Telluride, CO. Not sure if the Ram Black Bear Package is similar, or not. From an old 2015 Jeep ad: package elements include rock rails—reinforced rocker panels to resist damage...

    Anyone seen this before? VP3 8.4 crash when reversing

    I live in the Pacific Northwest. Every day, all day, for 9 months out of the year, it is like going through the car wash. 9 months of rain, and 1-1/2 months each of summer and winter :(

    Anyone seen this before? VP3 8.4 crash when reversing

    No. it was on the fm radio screen. It jumped to that weird, scrambled screen when I shifted into reverse.

    Anyone seen this before? VP3 8.4 crash when reversing

    Yes. I bought it in early 2017. It is 2013 year model. It worked flawlessly until 2019, when I activated the Navigation. Even after adding Nav, it only acted up a couple times a year. It has randomly crashed and rebooted a few times (i only noticed this a few time a year on average), and...

    Anyone seen this before? VP3 8.4 crash when reversing

    About once a week my VP3 radio (with nav) will display this screen for a few minutes, then the screen goes black. The radio still keeps working. The physical audio controls still work, music still plays, can still change channels with the steering wheel controls, everything. The conditions...
