Thank you WY-Dave. I had already read that post, it was helpful, but did not layout the procedure for my 2011 dodge ram 1500. I figured this out finally on my own, if anyone else has a 2011 dodge ram 1500 that did not come with a key fob factory and you have this kind of ignition 
, this should work for you truck. As long has your vehicle has the WIN module already installed you can do this.
I purchased 2 remote keyless entry key fobs aftermarket on the internet.
They were really cheap on Amazon ($30.00). I also purchased OBDLink MX+
on Amazon ($119.00) and AlfaOBD App 
on google play ($49.00) for android. You will also need to go to the dealership parts department with your registration and license and request the 4-digit programming pin for your vehicle.
Insert a programmed key to the vehicle and turn it to the run position, but do not start the vehicle.
Insert the OBDLink MX+
Establish the link to the OBDLink MX+ via bluetooth with AlfaOBD.
In AlfaOBD do the following:
Select: Ram 1500 (DS/DX/DT)
Select: Radio Frequency HUB(RFH)
Select: Wireless Control Module (WCM) MY2011-12 non-PowerNet Var.1 (There were other versions that seemed to also work, but this is the one I used)
You then have to click the "CONNECT" button. It will tell you if it has established a connection to the WCM.
Select: Body Computer
Select: Central Gateway Module MY2006-12 Non-PowerNet (This is what I used, I just went through the list until I found one that it would communicate with, it was this one for my truck)
You then have to click the "CONNECT" button. It will tell you if it has established a connection to the BCM.
On the bottom right of the screen on the AlfaOBD, there will be a little car icon with the hood open, click on it.
Select: Radio Frequency HUB(RFH)
Select: Wireless Control Module (WCM) MY2011-12 non-PowerNet Var.1 (There were other versions that seemed to also work, but this is the one I used)

On the bottom right of the screen on the AlfaOBD, there will be a little car icon with the hood open, click on it.
On the screen that opens you can select from the drop down "Program Ignition Keys or Key FOB's"
Insert the Key FOB you want to program into the ignition and turn it to the ON position, but do not start the vehicle.
Enter your 4-digit programming key and hit "START". Insert another key and do the same to program another.
After the keys are programmed, they should not be able to start the vehicle by putting them into the ignition. The buttons will not work though.
Now you need to go back to the main screen and get into the BCM, do the following:

On the bottom right of the screen on the AlfaOBD, there will be a little car icon with the hood open, click on it.
On the screen that opens you can select from the drop down "Car Configuration Change"
On this same screen there is a "select option" drop down menu, select "Vehicle Config 2: RKE System Present"
On this same screen you will not have "select value" drown down menu, select "SET" and then click "START". You may have to do this twice, until it says it is now set to "SET".
Finally, we are at the last step. We need to go back to the main screen again and get back into the WCM. We need to reset the WIN module, do the following:

That's it, the buttons on your remote keyless entry should now be working!! Hope this helps those of you who have been trying to figure this out for the 2011 dodge ram 1500.
