I'm having problems reprogramming a 3rd Fobik on my 2010 3500 Ram. I got a used fobik from iKeyless that had been flashed to an initialized state that allows customer reprogramming if you have 2 fobiks. The procedure I'm using is the one that you insert fobik 1, on for five seconds, insert fobik 2, on for 5 seconds and single chime to indicate entry into programming mode. Then insert fobik to be programmed.

I never get the single chime saying I'm in programming mode.

I see a lot of forums references that this can be done and also a lot of references that this feature is not longer available.

So, has anyone actually done this on a 2010 Ram or do I need to get it done by my dealer?

 

I'm about to go through a similar ordeal, as the 'pre-owned' 2010 I just bought only came with one fobik. I have done a little bit of checking though and have been told by several folks that only the dealer can perform the programming. They need the truck, the fobik(s) and the factory scan tool. Supposedly takes about 15 minutes, but again, hearsay. I will be finding out soon, as with 3 drivers and only 1 fob it's far more than just a slight inconvenience.

 

For your information, a FOBik can be programmed only once, then its garbage...

So buying a used one is a scam...

Also, if you have only one FOBik, you MUST go to the dealer, no way you can do it yourself...

 

Here's what I ended up doing. I bought a used FOBIK from EBay - iKeyless vendor, that had been initialized. I wasn't able to reprogram this myself even with 2 working FOBIKs, the Ram wouldn't go into programming mode. So I brought it to the dealer and along with my a 10,000 mile service, they programmed the FOBIK for $37.50, 1/2 price.
