Ive tryed to program the second key fob just like the service manual instrucks. But the last part sayes you will hear a chime when finnished. No chime. Key fob not operational brand new with new batterys. I folowed the service manuals instructions. ?? It also talks about a drb iii do i need one

 

I think locksmith will do that.You should call local car locksmith.

 

I thinks the best way In such case when all keys are lost i always recommend the licensed locksmith to replace a new key,.
Because i thinks only licensed locksmiths are better to replace a new key,
Whats your idea,.?

I have recently seen videos on YouTube about reprogamming keyless entry key fobs so you don't have to pay the dealership THAT price. I have seen it as high as $700. which is why I checked in the 1st place.
Also, check on Craigslist in/near your city as I saw a guy advrtising

 

Hi Mookil,

Welcome to the forum.

Just a heads up, that post you were looking at is over 2 1/2 years old.

 

I am located in New York and the dealers here are beyond expensive. I went to a locksmith company in Queens named Armor they did it for me in about 1/2 an hour for about half the price the dealer charged. I would suggest looking for locksmiths in your city.

 

there is no pin 1 to ground out to pin 4. Pin 1 is empty.

03 dakota here but even the image shows pin 1 is unused....... soooo whats grounding to set up for program mode

 

 

You don't need to go to a dealership to have your fob programmed but a professional locksmith IS REQUIRED if the original is not available. They are MUCH cheaper than any dealership when programming is needed. The issue is, if you dont have at least 1 working key fob then a special tool is needed to scan the codes for programming a new one. Most dealerships charge ridiculous prices but I got my fob on eBay for $8 and then paid my local locksmith $35 for programming costS...which was amazing compared to the $115 that 3 different dealerships had quoted me in my area. It took only about 20 mins to complete then I was locking and unlocking my car without my key. I recommend buying 2 fobs at once..paying for one to be programmed and then program the second yourself in case you need it....having an extra is always handy so this fee doesnt become habit.

 

You are wrong, if you don't have original then contact dealer otherwise you can take help from any locksmith.
