I've tried several fob programming solutions, but this one actually works. I retrieved the 5 digit pin and programmed on 2nd try.
Bits and pieces have been posted before on this forum and on other forums, but here it is in one place.
Caution: if you try ANYTHING different, this may not work. If you use these exact components it will. Ex: Do not try an Amazon fob, or Alpha Obd, etc. unless you want to risk errors. (not saying other combinations won't work)
From Jimmy07
This is the cheapest way to get a new remote for your truck and do it all yourself:
- ebay Fob:
- JScan OBD app $30 per vin. You download. (alfaobd can not program a fob for your truck)
- vlinker fd+ OBD interface:
- Security gateway bypass cable:
I found the hardest part was locating the two factory cables above your left knee under the dash you connect to. There is a video for locating these, also by jimmy07.
You program from your phone using the $30 jscan app.
When you do the programing you leave your old fobs far away. You leave ignition off. 4 ways on. When prompted, you do not press unlock, but you do depress the ignition start/stop on the dash with the actual new fob. Bingo it's programmed.
More detailed step by steps are available.
This is the holy grail of Ram fob programming! Really. (not saying that other devices won't work too)
