Im looking to buy either a Big Horn or Laramie. Dies anyone have any thoughts?

First time Ram owner here … 2022 Ram 1500 BigHorn BackCountry, 5.7L Hemi non-eTorque, bought 4 weeks ago with only 27,500 miles & just turned 30,000 today (2nd pic). For those who know about MDS delete to prevent the “tick”, has anyone tried this method displayed in the first screenshot? … Press Gear- then Gear+? It says it has to be done every time you drive but does this successfully turn off the MDS system? If so, this is “free” method is a lot cheaper than permanent software & hardware options. Does anyone know whether or not this “free” method may cause any issues if you do this every time you drive? Any insight / advice is greatly appreciated!

Has anyone else had this happen when trying to activate their connected service in their truck? Just picked up a new Laramie, and the phone app is showing that I have an active Ram Connect subscription. When I try to login via the head unit I'm getting this message. Tried using the Call Care option, but my microphone doesn't work when doing so and they can't hear me.
