2019 Ram Classic Key Fobs lost

[paulsharvey]

So, when I bought my 2019 Ram Classic in October of 2019, used, it came with a single key fob. I had meant to get a 2nd, but never got around to it. Well, I have lost my only key fob... So I see Key Fobs for sale online for $29-60 each, and would need programmed by mobile locksmith or dealer. (Actually one website says you can do it your self with a complex procedure). The truck is unlocked, so thats a plus. Online people talk about $400-700 to get dealer to provide Fobs and program. Anyways, anyone ever deal with this? Is it better to get a fob or 2 on Amazon and try, or just call mobile lock guy? Are most lock guys even able to do this stuff? Obviously want to avoid a stealership if at all possible, I hate dealing with those guys.

I think you are screwed.

A friend of mine lost his key fob on a Chrysler van while out of town.

Called a locksmith who said he does key fobs.

All my friend needed was the VIN # and ID.

Took an hour and $300.

Luckily, my wife has her car, and I have a work car (take home, but no personal use, GPS tracked), so I hopefully can call around and get some prices. I knew better, but...

Factory key fobs online are $117 plus programming. Ebay fobs can be $25 pair plus programming. Hard call to make since you can't use truck. I'd call dealer to see if key can be ordered pre-programmed for your truck. That might be best way. Once you get a working key, you might want to look into AlphaOBD software. It allows you to program your own keys along with many other funtions!

I went ahead and ordered 1 "OEM" "unlocked" Fob on ebay, for $29; I guess it might be $30 down the drain, but I can try that before resorting to a professional. Me, wife, and kids have searched high and low for two days, but how much you want to bet the old key turns up someplace stupid once I dont need it anymore?

Key fob programming for a Dodge Ram is pretty darn easy and takes about one minute to code a fob.

That is the website I read, and I'm hoping it works.

Doesn’t look like it’s for RAM

So, you lost the FOB but still have the key?
