Digital Key setup 2025 Laramie

It’s frustrating when the dealer hands over the keys but doesn't know how the tech works. If the tile isn't showing up in your app, you probably need to make sure your VIN is fully registered and the app is updated. Try calling the manufacturer's connected services line instead of the dealership.
 
Do we know if the truck requires a new software update or is this simply a switch on the back end that makes the tile appear in the RAM app?
Hi there OTA updates are typically done on the back end. So, you technically would not see a difference in your software version compared to a FOTA update.

@RamCares I have a 26 Rebel GT, when can I expect this update? I know the note said starting with 2024 vehicles (which seems a little odd to me).
 
For clarity, the reason many (most, really all but a few) of us do not have the required "pair" tile in our app is that our VINs have not yet been selected. Once our VINs are selected, the "pair" tile will appear in our app, allowing us to complete the pairing process. Is that an accurate assessment of the process?

It most likely needs to push to your truck first and then once your phone app syncs with the truck again it’ll see it’s available and then populate it in the app to allow pairing. So essentially, yes.

Hi everyone, yes, as long as your vehicle is equipped with the proper sales code, once the update is done you will then see then be allowed to pair. Also, please keep in mind that you must buy a subscription to utilize.

Absolute garbage that using digital key requires a subscription. That is anti-consumer. No other brand I've had this feature with required a subscription.

I also don't believe it was ever advertised as requiring a subscription to use. RAM needs to compensate for this.
 
In order to utilize the digital key option, Customers must enroll and create an account with Connected Services. The customer is required to activate Connected Services by accepting the Terms & Conditions. You can also contact our Connected Services team directly at (800)-777-3600 for support.

Please clarify which specific subscription(s) need to be active to use the smartphone key:
  1. Ram Connect One
  2. Hands-Free Active Driving Assist
  3. Vehicle Performance
  4. Safety & Security
  5. Ram Connect Wi-Fi Plus
 
Do we need the subscription to receive the fota update or does that happen no matter what?

I’m sure there are a lot of folks who aren’t going to want to sign up until they know this update is actually available in their geo.

I’m not ram care, but reading this, you get a 10 year subscription when you buy the truck. But you still have to have that activated with an account. I think that is what they meant. Have the account created/activated. The subscription is free for us (10 years) but you do have to have it.

I would agree but @RamCares clearly stated "Also, please keep in mind that you must buy a subscription to utilize." It sure sounds like @RamCares is saying we must PAY for the service. That is why I made the post so @RamCares could clarify their statement.
 
Hi everyone, apologies for the confusion. To provide some clarity, the service is free to use, but the user is required to activate Connected Services by accepting the Terms & Conditions. It is free for the first 10 years but after a subscription fee may be required. The subscription is not needed to receive the FOTA update but the Connect 1 subscription will be needed to activate the digital key.

I hope this is helpful! Please let me know if there are any anymore questions, I can answer to provide more clarity if needed.
