I found a way to receive your own PIN CODE without the dealer :)

Amazing!!! Thanks for the tip Kevin. Having the same issue with the dealer in Ontario. Can't wait to give it a shot.

Was going to try this app. Will it work on the Ram 2500? I see that it says Ram 1500, but I wasn't sure if that will work.

I'd assume it'd be the same. Thayre all basically the same system.

Sue them. They can’t legally,deny you,access to something in a vehicle they sold you. That’s the same crap cellphone carriers tried with their stupid lock codes garbage.. you buy it, you own it, all of it, including access to it

Yeah, but who's gonna take the time/expense to sue a giant corporation over a $20 or $30 issue? I talked to 3 dealers here in Houston and one in Indiana that all wanted $30 for the pin. Stopped by one in Houston that said $20 so I paid the extortion money and now have my pin. Be sure to ask for a printed copy of the pin too (and take a pic of it with your phone so you have it with you when you need it).

I went into my deal expecting a big fight to get my pin. Asked the guy the parts counter if I could have it. He just said drivers license and registration lol. Printed it off free of charge he said it's really job security. You play with your truck settings **** it up and then you pay us to fix it.

Thanks. I called my dealer for ram and they said they wouldn't give me it and wouldn't answer any prying questions, just said we don't give it out period. The first one i called where i bought it from (same company - autonation) the guy had no idea what i was talking about, asked technician and was going to do it for me than realized they can only get codes for the car they service and i would need to call chrysler/dodge dealership to get it.

Didn't want to deal with it any longer and paid 15$ on the app. Now i just need to figure out how to program my fab. I got the 4 button (has push start button) when my car only has 3 buttons. The FCC ID was identical in the listing on amazon but once i got the key it showed a different FCC ID so maybe that is why it failed. Returning key and getting the 3 button. Only got 4 in-case i decided to have remote start later on.

Faults Found / Error Code:
B1A24
Key Not Programmed

Last test completed unsuccessfully
Error Present
Failure Warning Lamp 'ON': Not Requested​

I know it can fail if a code error exists but no faults exist until i try to program it unless this fault is in a different part of the system.

At least it appears the "pin" worked so i really appreciate this post! Any advice before i try returning the key let me know I may ask in a new thread if i still have an issue after new keys arrive.

Which dealer is that? I'm in Spring, so I was going to try the Autonation one off I45...

This is the cheapest known working fob on amazon- https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07D...F8&qid=1548046339&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65
I’ve tried a bunch of cheaper ones that didn’t program, but this one works every time, and many members have bought this one.

Thanks for sharing! Do you know how to get the valet key re-keyed if I don't have the original one? Is that dealership only thing, or a locksmith can get it off somewhere?

You can request the key cut code from your dealer....parts desk is easiest, they will need your license and registration. They might attempt to charge you for the code.

I think some locksmiths have access to the database as well, not sure how much they would charge to get the code on top of cutting the key (or maybe its included in the price)

So I used the OBDLink MX OBD2 reader and downloaded an app called Pin Puller.
It says it need elm237 pr something but when you connect using Blietooth it says its using the MX like an ELM!! From this point you than click on the model vehcile you have and purchase some points. For pin code its 50 points and costs $19.99. After that cost start. It asks you to put your 4 way emergency lights on and the n click continue. Moments layer it shows VIN and your pin code!

Hope this helps others with reluctant dealers!!
will this work on my 2017 ram ? im trying to program (add) 2 new fobik remotes . i got a obdmx and an app to program the fobs but it needs a 4 digit code . the dealership is telling me its a rolling coded needed and it only last 24 hrs . but i heard the rolling code is 5 digest . and dealership tells me the 4 digit code is just for cutting the key

Dealer doesn't know what they are talking about. Mine said the same thing, I looked at them and laughed.

Thanks for the feedback. I ended up calling somebody back at the dealership and instead of talking to service I asked for parts and it was called the programming code and he gave it to me with no problem
