key fob?

AJMAG · Mar 13, 2012

i havnt had the key fob for my truck since i got it, the damn dealership lost it before i bought the truck, wasnt a big deal at the time 3 1/2 years ago but im gettin sick of it. is there any fobs out there that can be programmed without having one existing one?

If you have 2 fobs you can program the at the same time. I think if you only have one it still can be programed.... its best to have 2.

yes you should be able to. just make sure they are the ones for the Ram.

all the ones iv seen say they require one existing fob to work. if i dont they are calling for me to go to a dealership or locksmith. is that true or is it just a way to get the dealership $?

AJMAG. I just looked in the service manual and found out that without at least one working Key fob you will have to have the dealer use the DRBIII to access the Vehicle Access Code(VAC) and program a new one. Now if you had a working one you can program up to 4 remotes.

Straight from the Service manual...

Just had the same problem, after losing my key fob 2+ years ago, I dialed the dealership to get a price for replacement & programming. Something like $80 for the fob and $45 for programming. Luckily I did a little more searching and found mine! $125 saved to spend on new headlights!
