You should expect to pay to have it programmed.

You CAN do it, but you need to pay for the tool, and also either a subscription or fee for the rolling code.
For a single set of keys it's not worth it imo. I think it's around $450 for the set to start.
i am here with the locksmith and when I tell you he has been here for about an hour and 35 minutes that’s me being nice he is talking about having to get codes from the manufacturer … in the beginning he was asking 400 and change to programs the keys so I told him just do one for 195 and I paid and I’ll take the truck to the dealer to get the second one done… he is having a hard *** time that he said he will have to get a second code from the manufacturer and it’ll cost and extra 50$ but that would include the second key as well so for 245 both keys I basically said take my money and hurry up my boy

He's never done programming on a Ram then.
Should be about $85 s key on normal.
He was prov asking for $400 so he would still make money after buying the correct tool and subscription to make keys.
Rough lol.

It's hard for me to lose it unless it was to fall out of my pocket. Never had that issue. I don't even need to remove it from my pocket ever except to hang on the hook at home. Hope to never have a key for vehicle ever again.
If the keys have already been programmed once for a different box, rumor is they cannot be programmed again (reprogrammed). You'd need a brand new fob, or so I read.
Soon, there won't be fobs anymore. Just apps on our smartphones (that don't work 10% of the time
).They are sending another tech tomorrow and I was actually told this by another locksmith but these guys swore they could do it I’ll update tomorrowIf the keys have already been programmed once for a different box, rumor is they cannot be programmed again (reprogrammed).

this some bullllll see im not sure if what he is doing is programming a new key fob mine are the original fobs that came with the truck … i assumed after replacing the wireless control module that they could be re programmedall right guys this is where I’m at they came they left and I’m still without a truck … they said it’s the wireless control module that is basically not programmed to the truck what’s that about ? They left me some codes I’m about to take a loss and get it towed to the dealer ship I’m over it
