How to Program a Dodge Ram Key Fob

Key fobs are extremely useful. A key fob can be used to unlock your doors, open your trunk and set off your car alarm. If you own a Dodge Ram with a working key fob, it is very easy to program an additional key fob to work with your Ram. In fact, you can program up to four key fobs if necessary.

Things You Will Need:



  • Pre-programmed Dodge Ram key fob

  • New, deactivated key fob (up to four)



  1. Get into your car. Be sure to use your pre-programmed key fob when starting the process. Insert the key into the ignition and turn the key so that the ignition is in the "Run" position. Your car will chime and beep, but this will automatically stop within a moment. Wait for the chimes to stop before moving onto the next step.

  2. Grab your key fob and press and hold the "Unlock" button on your programmed key fob. You will need to hold the button down for ten-seconds.

  3. Press and then quickly release the "Panic" button as you simultaneously release the "Unlock" button.

  4. Your car will chime again. Listen for this chime.

  5. Once you hear the chime, you can press any button on your deactivated key fob. This will sync the new key fob up to the existing key fob. Once you have programmed the key fob, turn the ignition to the "Off" position. This will finalize the programming of your new key fob.

  6. If you wish to program more than one additional key fob, you will need to repeat this process for each additional set.
