So today my key/ fob won't start my 19 classic. It will lock and unlock, but is dead in the ignition. Cleaned contacts and installed new battery with no luck. But my spare key works just fine? I've heard of people programming new keys with Alfaobd? Any suggestions?

Yeap just did this, with the latest version of AlfaOBD you can pull the PIN # for the RF Hub and program a new keyfob. It's usually the cheap knock-off keyfob that people have issues with getting them to program. What style keyfob do you have? Push-button or the one you stick in the dash and turn?

FYI: the battery is the keyfob is not needed to start the truck for either style, if you have the push button start, use the keyfob to push the button.

Their prices have really jumped up in the last year
They used to be $49, now they are $89

So before I buy and program new keys, is there chance of checking my oem key, or resetting that one?

Found the problem, looks like I must've dropped the key, may try to solder
