Wanted to add informed post with directions through my personal experiance.
I recently purchased an 2018 1500 Tradesman with tip keys / Sentry keys. Which meant no remote lock/unlock keyfob. Here are the steps to get remote fob added for your 4th gen.
all following were done with Alfaodb android and Obdlink MX+. Also with 2018+ you need a security bypass cable.
I used the Chrysler Pin Puller app and paid to get PIN after trying to get it from 20 dealer calls. Some model you can pull PIN using ALFA I tried and for the life of me it just never does anything. You will need your PIN to reset HUB and also program your FOBIK
*ALWAY BACK UP YOUR SETTINGS BEFORE PROCEEDING TO MAKE ANY CHANGES.
1. Install bypass cable, and plug in obdlink MX+ and connect to your android device.
2. Open AlfaOBD, click the bluetooth icon and pick your Obdlink MX+ device. should show device connected.
3. In "My car" section -
Click Dodge/Ram,
RAM 1500 (DS/DX/DT)
Body Computer
My2018 PowerNet (this will be different depending on your year.
4. Click on the open hood icon at bottom right corner
5. Scroll to "Car configuration change" (towards the bottom)
In the Selection option section, find VehConfig 3: RKE System Present,
in Select value choose "yes". Then click "Start". This will turn on the remote keyless entry option after about 5-10 seconds.
(you can try to confirm if this is enabled if you click start again and it says current value is set at yes)
6. Go back up to Main interface screen, Change BODY COMPUTER to RADIO FREQUENCY HUB(RFH), In Select Control Unit - Choose Radio Frequency HUB My2012-21 PowerNet. Click Open Hood
7. Select RF-HUB Reset/Replace, Enter your PIN. Click start. You should see on screen log during the process it does add the new RKE option.
8. Change to Program Ignition FOBIKs Baseline System. Follow onscreen prompt, Enter PIN and click "START"
After this is complete, disconnect and exit app. Wait 5-10 minutes for car computer to reset/program.
Try the lock/unlock buttons on your new REMOTE FOB and see if they work.
sorry no screenshots currently but will try to edit post later to add them.
