My spare remote tip start for my truck is not working. After 4 batteries I am fairly sure it is dead.
Anyone have a place they have bought replacements from that worked and got a good price on? Best price I have seen for an OEM is right at $50.
I have looked all over the remote, inside and out, trying to find a part number having no luck.
I have read some of the AlfaOBD and believe I need the 4 digit security code for my truck to be able to program a remote myself.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I got a spare from a locksmith here in Houston. Cost me 180.00 for coming out to my work and the fob and programming. The dealer here will program a fib for 75.00 I found out later. You need a special computer to program the fob I don’t think you can program it with AlphaOBD.

This is a known working fob replacement- https://www.amazon.com/Aupoko-56046953-56046953AE-56046953AC-56046953AG/dp/B07VWVZ1MF
Yes, you’ll need the pin to program it, whether it be from the dealership parts department, or Chrysler PIN Puller app on google play store. AlfaOBD can easily program it.

I installed the Chrysler PIN puller, bought the tokens and got my PIN.
Decided to try the key fob that would not work through AlfaOBD and it reprogrammed it.
Now the dead keyfob works! Guess it must have just lost it's brain after changing batteries or something.
