Is there a way to sleep/camp inside cab and turn on alarm ? I believe there is a sensor in truck that will detect movement inside and ring alarm ? Thanks

You want to sleep in a vehicle with the alarm on? That does not sound like a particularly restful way to sleep.

In any case, yes, that system exists. Though as I recall, not all models come with it, and I think that that was one of the systems that was hit by chip deletes in the last year or so, so your specific truck might not have it. To find out, I think that you can go to the Settings tab in your truck under “Alarm System” to turn it on or off.

The motion sensors can be turned on or off:

I've had issues in my truck where I turn the motion sensors off on that screen where they turn back on the next time I start my truck so keep an eye out for that. I've had to resort to the 'Ask on Exit' feature so I can turn them off if I leave the dog in the truck. Somewhat annoying but so it goes.

I use the ask on exit, works for me I leave my dogs in the cab, or I ended up taking a nap on a road trip.
