Disable Features Like Auto Park

Post by achubbard »

Hi!

New member. Have been looking at the Predator 2 product for a bit. I have a 2017 Ram 1500 5.7 and I am trying to figure out if the Predator 2 (or another Diablo line) is able to disable features that the dealer enabled like Auto Park.

Thanks!

Hmm, I didnt realize the Ram had Auto Park, does it function like the JL auto park option? Like throws itself into P if it thinks you are going to hit something?

I just had mine at the dealer for service and they did an update on it. If you open the door, like you are going to line up with a trailer or something along those lines, it automatically throws it in park.

That's correct, it did not. I would LOVE to turn it off. I asked the dealer and they are "looking into it" and "will get back to me" so I am not to confident.

Yeah I am not looking too hopeful on that haha!

If Predator 2 or a similar Diablo line could turn that off, I'd be sold!

Thanks!

interesting, thanks for the link./
It seems they are gonna piss off a lot of customers with this update, and it would be great to offer a solution for disabling it :)

We disable it on the new JLs, so it should be something we can add moving forward ;)

Sweet! How long would something like that take you guys to implement for the RAM?

I cant give any ETA, honestly I didnt even know it was in the Rams until you brought it up.

I have passed this along to our marketing and development teams and they see the added value in being able to offer this, but it will take some time for sure.
