Default Keyless entry

So my truck apparently came with keyless entry factory, but the keys have been changed to plains keys(no remote lock) How would I go about replacing the remote key fobs?

Moved to the correct section.

Well, first you have to buy replacement key FOB's. Normally ebay is your best bet. This is what they look like:

Then you have to get them cut to match your existing key then you have to get the FOB programmed which a dealer or locksmith can do. Thats pretty much it.

Edit: Crap, moved to the 3rd gen Ram instead of 3rd gen Dakota....Mod could you please move to the 3rd gen Dakota section?

I know some locksmiths won't attempt to program a key for you unless you buy the key from them.
And I'd bet that a dealer wouldn't touch an Ebay key either.
