Replacement Key
Hello,
I have a 2005 Ram 3500 Laramie. It has the sentry system in it now with the grey key and separate key fob and I lost one set in the move (DAM IT!!). I just got a new Magnum and it has the sentry key merged into the key fob so it is just one unit now. What I would like to know is can I program one of the new keys to my truck?
Can I order a newer style blank sentry key that has the FOB built in and program it to my Dodge and cut it? The Magnum kee seems to slide into the key hole on my truck.

RE: Replacement Key
Not sure if you're talking about reprogramming a key you have or not but you can order blank keys on the internet, and program it to your vehicle. If you only have one set of keys, you'll have to have the dealer program/cut it. If you have two sets, you can program yourself and have it cut at the dealership. Same goes if you get a seperate transponder.

Actually, I am talking about using the new style keys with the fob and key in on piece. Right now my key (sentry) and my fob are different. I like the new style that all of the new dodges have now and want to know if I can program those new styles to my truck.

RE: Replacement Key
I haven't tried this myself yet
but others have said the proceedure below worked for them:
===
If you need to program another key for your ram. try this
Add Duplicate Key (Requires two existing keys)
1. Insert one of the two existing keys into the ignition lock and turn to the
ON (RUN) position.
2. After the key has been in the ON position for at least five seconds but not
more than 15 seconds turn the lock back to OFF
3. Remove the key and insert the second existing key and turn to the ON
position within 15 seconds.
4. A theft alarm light should illuminate after the seconds and a single chime
sound will indicate entry into the "Customer Programming Mode."
5. Turn the key to the OFF position within 60 seconds and remove the valid
key.
6. Insert a new key and turn it to the ON position.
7. After approximately ten seconds, a single chime will sound and the theft
alarm light will stop. Wait five seconds and turn the key to the OFF position.
8. The above steps must be repeated for additional keys
