Just purchased a 2013 Ram 2500. It came with one ignition key. Square head key. Where would one go to purchase a spare, just in case? Dealer wants $300.00 for fob and programming.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

I ordered a blank/FOB on Amazon and called a local locksmith that met me at my office. He cut a key and programmed my FOB and all is well. The dealer is a huge ripoff for keys.

Keys can be had for 25-50 off amazon or ebay, takes all of 30 seconds to program them, any local locksmith should be able to do it.

Nateinva and Cuyler Tech,
Thanks so much for the input. Am contacting local locksmith who says he can do the programming.
Half the price and do it at my home.
You both have been very helpful,
Thanks again,
Jim

I have a key fob from a Challenger that I had. Same 3 button design as my current Ram. Can I have it reprogrammed to work for my Ram?

Sorry to jump in but the old lady's 14 challenger has the proximity keyless push button feature. Can a lock smith make one of those work or would that be a dealer thing?

Also the fob for my ram died I need to get a battery for it. I keep forgetting
