Default Did a 2000 have key fobs ?

The 2000 Dakota I recently acquired doesn't have any key fobs, I was curious if this year of truck had them and if so what do they look like? I was at a wrecking yard the other day and they had a pail full of diff ones, only $5 ea so if I knew which one it originally had and if they can be programmed I would go get a couple

It "might" have key fobs, if you have power locks and windows it most likely does. It was an option. You might contact Dodge for a build sheet which lists all the options, look for RKE (remote keyless entry). It may be listed in the glove box too.

This link will tell you how to get a build sheet: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...ild-sheet.html

Your dealer will have to program the new fob if you don't have one already.

They look like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DODGE-RAM-KE...-/370736175666

Are you planning on getting a remote start anytime soon? Don't do what I did, I paid $20 for a pair of remotes, then the $40 charge at the dealer. A month later, I found a deal on remote start unit and it came with the lock/unlock feature.

Dan has you set up, though.

most of the time power locks and window option came with the key fob. also most if the keyts gray it a chipped key and they diffently came with the fob. you can do a vin decode at the dealer and they should be able to tell you the package that was ordered with the truck from the factory.

A 2000 wouldn't have SKIM (grey keys).
