I noticed that the display on my dash and on “UConnect” had changed recently. I went into settings to check the display settings and found a “Remote Keyboard Access” option which was never there before.

Is there any chance that some “random update” could have been installed that included the “Remote Keyboard “ option? Does the 2017 Durango UConnect even have that as a feature?

Has anyone else noticed this feature before?

2017 Durango R/T.
 
If it did then you might have a unicorn or a unicorn environment at just the right time for it to happen.

Thanks for the reply. I just find it extremely difficult to comprehend that a “feature” that was “allegedly” available on my 2017 Durango would wait until 2025 to install itself all by itself. I honestly can’t recall anytime that my car did an update to update anything on the vehicle’s computer. I’ve done a bunch of factory resets and it just won’t go away which leads me to believe that maybe it’s not legit. I’m in a situation where I’ve found a car tracker attached to my car and have had multiple phones hacked and cloned etc. and apparently it’s now possible to have a malicious 3rd party load this kind of software on automobiles. My key fob also was copied as my car is constantly being gone through and my car horn honks randomly just as a reminder that they have a remote with my code on it. And yes I’ve had the code changed but I didn’t realize that I needed a faraday key fob pouch to protect my code from being stolen. anyways I still am not convinced that it’s legit and I’m going to go to the dealership and see if can get to the bottom of issue. I appreciate the feedback
 
Where the heck do you live that all that crap happens to you? Do you regularly visit scuzzy areas?

That sounds pretty wild, so is it crazy exes or just your neighborhood is really that bad? It is funny you mention faraday cage, I actually do keep my keyfobs in a faraday box and yes I tested it by trying to start my car while the keyfob was in the box and it would not start.

I looked in the owners manual for the 2017 dodge Durango RT and THERE IS NO OPTION THAT SHOULD LIST A KEYBOARD FOR THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE. In the manual, it goes down the list of items in display mode and says display mode and then you can do display brightness with headlights on or off set theme set language, and then mine says keyboard which it doesn’t have that in the manual and then it goes touchscreen beep control screen time out and then it’s got some NAV stuff phone pop up in the cluster and that’s it so it appears that the same person who’s been pulling all these shenanigans went a little bit out of their depth on this one. I even googled it to see if there was any potential upgrade of firmware or what not and found ZERO MENTION of there being a keyboard option for my vehicle using the Uconnect 8.4 version. More evidence to pile up for the worthless police who refused to even investigate because I know who’s doing it and like they won’t even investigate it have very interesting theories, such as “ everybody knows that iPhones can’t get hacked“, or “are you high on drugs or taking any mental health medications”? I’ve called the police twice to have them come out and even my IT person from my business manages my home enterprise network and the tool that we use has identified 10 enterprise networks that each have four personal Wi-Fi networks per enterprise network for a grand total of 50 Wi-Fi networks that are running out of this person‘s condominium, which is about 600 or 700 ft.². They never go outside. No one‘s ever seen them. I’ve seen like three people go in and out and they’re usually carrying bags of groceries and they come like once or twice a week so it’s like I know who’s doing it and they know that I know that they’re doing it and even when the police came out, they wouldn’t even look at the evidence on my phone that my IT guy sent me showing the 50 networks and they list in proximity to my access point. There’s more but I’m not gonna drone on and on about it. I think having this will help. I live in a very nice neighborhood in Orange County, California and the people who live next-door to me or the ones that are doing it that are renters I even had one of my neighbors downstairs told me that his router magically stopped working even though it was working just fine in the morning and then like when you got home at night like he couldn’t access his router anymore so he had to get a new router, even though the tech person said that his router was working perfectly fine. I guess his password had been changed too bad he moved out the day before I called the cops the second time. That was not a fun experience, but whatever. I think I’m just gonna gather all the evidence that I have such as cell phone bills for like the last year and a half, router reports showing like 365 outbound connections for my router at my business in one day that was sending some data to not our IP addresses nor like Microsoft or anyone like that that you would have standard data sharing with even though we disabled all that kind of stuff I had like nine instances of the support assistant agent running at one time and they were all sending data from my server to random IP addresses that we’re not our IP addressesand my IT guy I think just doesn’t want to get involved because he’s thinks that I’m gonna sue him or something. This whole thing a fucking joke so I think I’m just gonna take everything that I have cause I got a shit load of evidence and just walk in and talk to the watch commander and or the cyber security unit that they allegedly have but yet they never let me talk to anybody there. I’ve been dealing with this shit for like a year that I am aware of and I’m shirt began before that. if anybody else finds anything contradictory to what I found with respect to my Uconnect 8.4 for a 2017 Dodge Durango having the ability to have a remote keyboard access please let me know with documentation that supports it, preferably from the manufacturer who I am also going to be paying a visit to tomorrow.
 
Your IT guy isn't offering to solve this for you? He can't protect your equipment from incursion? He can't fight back? I'm sure he knows how to do so.

Well, I tried responding three times and right as I was getting ready to finish each of them the corn holes that are doing all this bullshit and that I can now prove many many many things because today was a very fruitful day and I still I’m saying today because it’s yesterday rolling into today because there was so much shit that I found out today and was able to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that for example, my phones and my iPads are all compromised because they don’t have eSIM on them anymore and that they are also MDM‘s, which is a managed device, which usually a business will do that if you have a phone that belongs to the company and basically they can just see everything that you do and monitor everything that you do they can track you wherever you go They can read your emails. Text messages the whole 9 yards they full access to the phone they can wipe out all your apps which they’ve done before and then they can reinstall them which they did like 12 hours later just to prove a point I guess so anyways, I had a lot more to say but after spending about 45 minutes trying to send out a response I’m just gonna leave it at this and I’ll post later today when I hopefully will have more time And these corn hole hopefully not be wiping out all my messages before I can send them.

In 3 simple steps you could fix all of your problems:

1. Fire your current IT guy
2. Hire a new one that also knows IT security
3. Do everything the new IT guy says to get back up and running
