I did a search and nothing really came up, if this has been asked before I'm sorry.

I have an extra key fob that I got when I bought my RAM however it does not work. I put a new battery in it and went to the dealer and they tested it out on a RF detector and verified it transmitted.

Am I able to program it to my truck or do I have to go through the dealer to get this done? It is still under warranty and I was told that it would be covered I just don't want to drop the truck off and wait for half a day to get it done.

Dealers have to hoop up their computer to your truck to program. Some dealers will charge some may not

you may get lucky and find a locksmith that has the ability to do it also.

You will need a locksmith with the puter program or the dealer.

It should only take about 15-20 minutes at the most to get the FOB programmed.

Yep, had a mobile locksmith meet me in parking lot. Took all of 10 minutes to cut the key and program FOB. He even lightened my wallet by $60!

Thanks for the info guys. I'll have to make an appointment at my local dealer to get this done under warranty.
