Trying to use AlphaOBD to read Radio PIN code (to program new key fob)

[jeffjcalweb]

Hi - I've used AlphaOBD and am using an ODBLinkMX+

AlphaOBD is connected to the ODBLink, I can select the model, select feature (radio frequency hub), select the procedure to start (read pin) but then it just coming back to "no data / can not read ECU" or something similar worded.

I am pulling OBD data - tested this by using the actual ODB app on the same tabled I'm using AlphaOBD on - and I can also see some data when connected with AlphaOBD as well - so this seemed like a super easy thing to do but clearly I'm missing something. I have tried this with the truck running, truck with ACC only, radio on, radio off, etc.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Only the dealer can program a key fob.

Can't program our own keyfons on the 5th gen Rams.

Thank you - I'm not programming the key fob, someone else who can program it, that is not a dealer, can. Just need the 4 digit PIN., which I can get at a dealer but was trying to avoid the drive...

The pin is a rolling code, I'm surprised dealers will just give them up

There is a rolling code, and a fixed 4 digit PIN. Just an FYI. Anyway thanks for reading, must be fate telling me "visit your local dealer".

The pin to program your key is rolling. Dealers are allowed so many key code requests per day.

There's a PIN Puller app but not sure if it works on 5th gen trucks.

I saw somewhere a thread that you can pull the PIN via alfa. I don't think it was here, maybe youtube?

Yea that's what I'm trying to do - but following the steps keeps coming back with not reading ECU. Oh well on to the next project I guess.

The PIN can’t be read on the 5th gens because it’s not static. Either the dealer has to do it while connected and ready to program the fob, or a locksmith has to buy a token to get their device connected to the server to get the PIN and program the fob.

Lock smith or auto shop can pull code if they have a decent scan tool. I pulled the code for my gf’s 19 grand Cherokee with an autel im608 pro

What code will you pull?

 

[Noid]

A locksmith can do it. I bought a key fob from amazon and the local locksmith has a special tool that will program the truck to the key fob.

The 4 digit code you need to duplicate a key for the car

It doesn't work like that, they can try all they want it won't work.

I was was saying that I have pulled the pin code successfully using an autel im608 pro

Which would have been registered to do so.

You can't do it with just AlfaOBD or any other scan tool unless it's approved, registered, and you pay the annual fee to use AutoAuth with FCA.

Good day to all, today I was trying to program a key on my 2021 Ram 2500 with Alfaobd got my bypass cable, obdmx +.
Dodge / Ram
Ram 2500 (DJ/DR)
Radio Frequency Hub (RFH)
Radio Frequency Hub My2013 + PowerNet

Connect

Select Procedure to Start

Read Pin (Start)

The problem is that it tells me that it is not supported 5 pin digits.

If I go to a dealer and get my 5 Digits can i program the Key.

If someone know when Alfa obd will update to get the 5 digits.

Thank you
