Both of the fobs on my 2011 Ram 1500 SLT decided to die during a cold snap in December (of course). My stealerships here in Calgary quoted $250 per new fob plus up to $150 to program them. That's $650 to get my remotes to work again!

So I said "F" that, and did a search on Amazon to see what my options were. I found one retailer selling a pair of our fobs for $33.99, so I bought them. Then I went on Kijiji (it's a Canadian thing so far...like Craiglist but better) and found a guy who would come to my house and program them for $80. so for $120 both of my new fobs work perfectly and I got to keep $500 in my jeans. Time to go invest that into a levelling kit and a programmer!

 

Sweet, goes to show what thieves the stealerships are. That's ridiculous but glad you shared this info. Nice job!

 

Do your old fobs still start the truck, just the buttons dont work? if so a dead battery in the fob. My work deals with it all the time with our Caravans (same fobs)

Also if you want 2 new fobs, from the dealer. Its cheaper to buy the Remote start kit, I was quoted $600 installed at the dealer in Nova Scotia, And this also includes 2 new fobs with the remote start button.

 

Go to https://tomskey.com/ and get this issue easily solved. I had two bad fobs and did this to solve. You can program up to 8 fobs for just the cost of the fobs after that.
