I recently purchased a 2018 Charger Daytona 392 and it only came with 1 keyfob / FOBIK. I'd like to add a second one and I prefer to do as much work as I can myself. Unfortunately I have yet to find a tool that will allow me to successfully pull the PIN from the RF Hub. I have a Tazer with dual bypass cable, a 12+8 pin bypass cable, an Autel MS906BT scan tool, a Launch X431 PROS scan tool, Alfa OBD with OBDLink MX+ dongle, and Chrysler PIN Puller app. Autel Tech support has confirmed that my MS906BT is unable to pull the PIN from my 2018. The Launch claims it can but tech support hasn't yet confirmed that. The compatibility table in the X431 claims it can and the tool reports the status of the RF Hub as "Unlocked." The PIN Puller app reports that the RF Hub is "blocked" and I've been corresponding with the developer to understand what that might mean.

I've read mixed reviews about the success on getting PIN codes from the dealer, and most of the success stories I've read about were from a few years ago. But I have not yet checked to see if the dealer will provide it for me.

If it turns out that the RF Hub is in fact locked, I supposedly have the ability to program/code a replacement RF Hub if I can get the PIN. Has anyone here had success swapping RF Hubs on a 2018 or newer Charger?

My dealership seemed completely unaware that it is possible to lock the RF Hub, but did provide me with the PIN number without any cost or haggling. Kudos to them for that! The AlfaOBD creator was VERY quick to respond to my log and query for help and provided me with a fixed version that allowed me to program my spare FOBIK and it works great! The fixed version of AlfaOBD still was unable to pull my PIN, but since I had it from the dealer it wasn't an issue for me. I'm also glad that I don't yet need to figure out what it takes to swap RF Hubs.
