What's the quickest, cheapest way to program a new keyfob for my 2012 Ram 1500?

Thanks, I'm very familiar with Locksmiths and Ace Hardwares capabilities, but they are still crazy expensive. I was hoping for a simpler solution.

Well, there are tools like scan tools, i understand that some will do FOB programming
If you bought one of those, you could use that same tool to do many things like trouble shooting on your Ram & any one elses vehicles

AlfaOBD can program it. You will need to go to a dealer parts department and show proof of ownership to get the security pin you'll need. They are supposed to give it to you for free but some dealers won't give it to you or want to charge you a large fee, in which case the is an android pin puller that cost about $20.

Go to the playstore and look for Chrysler pin puller. I did not even have to pay to get my pin as it comes with enough credits to pull one PIN. I need to buy more credits to be able to pull the PIN from the wife's Jeep and my buddies two 2500's.

I went to the dealer parts department yesterday and they gave me the PIN no problem. I just showed them my ID and my registration.

AlfaOBD now pulls the pin in the app. You dont need the pin puller.

AlfaOBD pulls the pins now, but it currently does not work for the 2019 Ram 1500 classic. I emailed Alfa and they confirmed it won't work at least until the next version.
