Like evank33 mentioned, it’ll just work. Also, it’s been discovered that the circuit for the release button is already on the fob circuit board (and remote start also) for the HD Rams, so I’m guessing they are there on the DT fobs. You could buy some 4 pin buttons, and solder them in place. You won’t have the labeling on the fob overlay, but they will work when pressed. This will eliminate a dealer visit altogether if you have AlfaOBD to enable remote start (tailgate remote release will work no matter what).
Link to the button assortment that was used-
Any idea what type/size driver you need to remove inside fob screws. So small can't figure if it is hex, torx, pentalobe, etc... Lol... even tried zooming in with my cell phone camera. Curious to look at pc board button layout since my remote start bottom is centered and it's offset with fobs with power tailgate. I image pcb is different but figured I would kill a few minutes.

It would be great to find a way to program used keyfob, they are cheap on ebay. They say some locksmith can do this…
