<h1>Smart Key Remote Programming Instructions – 2017 Ram ProMaster</h1> <p><font size="3"><b>Important Notice:</b> The 2017 Ram ProMaster does not support onboard programming for smart key fobs. Programming must be performed by a certified automotive technician using specialized diagnostic equipment that interfaces directly with the vehicle’s control modules. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><b>Step-by-Step Programming Instructions</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Contact a Certified Automotive Technician Locate a technician who has experience with keyless entry systems and access to professional diagnostic tools compatible with Ram vehicles. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Gather All Smart Key Fobs Bring all current and new fobs to the appointment. Most systems will erase previously stored remotes during programming, so each fob you wish to keep active must be reprogrammed during the same session. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Confirm Vehicle Is Drivable If your ProMaster is operable, transporting it to the technician’s location may be more economical than requesting mobile service. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Provide Proof of Ownership Have your vehicle registration or title along with a valid photo ID available. These may be required to authorize the programming, especially if no working keys are present. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: Technician Connects Diagnostic Equipment The technician will connect a diagnostic interface to the vehicle’s OBD-II port, allowing communication with the onboard computer system. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Access Key Programming Mode Using the scan tool, the technician will enter the vehicle’s programming mode. During this step, any unrecognized or lost remotes may be erased. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Program Each Remote One at a Time Each smart key fob will be added to the system individually. The technician will confirm that each one operates properly by testing functions such as door locking/unlocking and engine start (if equipped). </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 8: Save Changes and Exit Programming Mode Once all remotes are successfully programmed, the technician will finalize the session, ensure the new key data is stored, and disconnect the diagnostic equipment. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Test All Functions Test each programmed remote to ensure full functionality, including keyless entry, ignition control, and any additional features like remote start if available. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 10: Keep a Backup Key Safe Store an extra programmed fob in a secure location in case the primary remote is lost or stops functioning.</font></li> </ul>
