Hey Folks, Newbie here so apologies if this has been covered somewhere else but i didnt see the exact situation.
I have a 2013 Ram 1500 Hemi. Key fobs started working a little erratically (mostly the remote start would only work now and then) so I purchased a new fob from a "reputable" seller on Amazon. I already had AlfaOBD so was good to go. I followed the instructions to program and it worked perfectly. As soon I was done programming, the new fob locked unlocked and remote started the truck. I went inside happy things worked as planned.
Later I went to go out for a meeting so remote started with the new fob, went out to the truck and it unlocked when I put my hand on the door handle. I got in and off I went to my meeting. When I got there, as I walked away the fob would not lock the truck, would not unlock nor remote start. When I went to press the start button with the end of the fob the screen showed wrong key fob (or something like that). After ubering home and back to get my original fob, it unlocked and started fine.
Back at home I tried to re-program the new fob and it showed that it was already programmed. Thinking It was crap keyfob I ordered another, went through the same process (Connected to the RF Hub, read the PIN, selected program Highline FOBIK, pressed the unlock button once) and the key programmed up as expected, but once I wnet inside and tried to use it again in seems bricked like the first one.
Has anyone experienced this or have experience to know what I'm doing wrong? This is getting frustrating.
Thanks in advance, this forum is such a great wealth of knowledge!
