Hello, someone suggested that I post here instead of the 5th gen forums so I figured I would post the link to my question on another thread here but then I will copy and paste the verbiage as well below:
5thgenrams.com
My question is:
I just purchased a 2024 Ram 2500 tradesman with the Power Wagon package. I purchased the OEM gas piston or whatever you call it and install it so the tailgate lowers super buttery smooth now. I only have the three buttons on my key fob currently. Lock, unlock, and panic.
I understand that they don't make key fobs that would only have the tailgate release button on it and that the key fobs are five buttons and also come with remote start.
The two questions I have are:
1) Does somebody have a link to an oem brand new key fob that I could purchase and I could just take that to the dealership to have them program it? Would they ask questions as to why I am bringing them the "incorrect key fob"? Or would it be easier to just buy a programmer myself? And if I do that, does anyone have a link to that programmer? (Jscan someone said in the other forum).
2) Would the remote start work or would I need to have some sort of additional stuff added to the truck? I don't really care about remote start but if there is a way to do this and it is not super expensive then I would elect to have that as well but I am more interested in getting the remote tailgate release button to function correctly so that when my hands are full I can easily open the tailgate up ahead of time.
I am about 1.5 hours directly west of Chicago if that helps any regarding local locksmiths that could do it instead of the dealership as well
I shall also add:
I'm a big fan of do-it-yourself so I'd much rather buy whatever programmer I need to do it myself if that is possible.
Upgrading to to a key fob that has tail gate release?
I just bought a 2021 big horn and it only came with one key fob, a beat up one at that. I already got a aje case for it but id like to have a second factory key fob, now the key fob i have is only lock, unlock, remote start, and panic. But my tailgate itself seems to be electric with the handle...
