Hey guys,

I'm new here, and this is my first post. I read the rules, and searched the threads, but could not find an answer, so here I am.

I bought my third Dodge pickup this week, and it is my first Ram- a 1500 Quad Cab SLT. I loved my Dakotas, but with my family growing I needed a bigger truck. I'm lovin' my Ram! Anyway...

I went online to search for keyfobs. On eBay, I see a Ram key fob for $65, but there are other fobs for the Journey, Charger, Magnum, etc., for about $30.00. They look identical. I assume they need programming, so they are blanks. Will these fobs work with my Ram?

Here is the eBay search page:

Guys, any thoughts on this? Thanks!

 

yeah they'll work if you get the one that goes for your truck.you need one already programmed first though.After that the new one comes with the instructions on how to program it

 

In order to program a key fob on your own you must have two factory ones. I purchased a blank off the internet and had the dealer program and cut it. The blank was $65 and programming and cutting was $89 for me. I know some dealerships will do this for less, but in my area they know they can get it.

 

You don't say what year your truck is. If it's a security key, you need two working keys. If it's just keyless entry, you only need one working fob. You can get a fob off eBay for < $20 and a key from Lowe's. You'll need to be sure the FCC number on the working fob matches the one you're buying.

Oh, and WELCOME to da group.
