<h1>Smart Key Remote Programming Instructions – 2017 Ram ProMaster City</h1> <p><font size="3"><b> Important Notice:</b> The 2017 Ram ProMaster City does not support onboard programming for smart key fobs. Programming requires a certified technician using specialized diagnostic tools to interface with the vehicle’s electronic systems. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><b>Step-by-Step Programming Instructions</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Locate a Certified Automotive Technician Find a professional with experience in electronic key systems and access to manufacturer-approved diagnostic equipment compatible with Ram commercial vehicles. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Bring All Key Fobs You Intend to Use If you have more than one smart key fob, bring all of them to your appointment. Many vehicle systems delete existing keys during programming, so each fob must be reprogrammed to remain active. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Check Vehicle Drivability If your ProMaster City is drivable, take it to the technician’s facility. This may be more cost-effective than scheduling a mobile programming service. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Provide Proof of Vehicle Ownership Be prepared to present vehicle ownership documents such as your registration or title, along with a valid photo ID. This is usually required before key programming begins, especially if no working fobs are available. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: Technician Connects Diagnostic Equipment The technician will use a diagnostic tool connected to the OBD-II port to access the vehicle’s control modules and initiate the key programming process. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Activate Key Programming Mode Through the diagnostic system, the technician will enable programming mode, clearing unrecognized remotes and preparing the system to accept new ones. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Program Each Remote Individually Each smart key fob is programmed one at a time. The technician will verify full functionality by testing door locking/unlocking, ignition start, and any proximity-based features. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 8: Finalize Programming Session Once all key fobs are successfully registered, the technician will save the new settings and exit the programming mode. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Test Each Remote for Functionality Check that all programmed remotes work as expected, including lock/unlock, starting the engine, and any remote access features. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 10: Store a Backup Fob Safely Keep an extra programmed fob in a secure location in case your primary remote is lost, damaged, or stops working.</font></li> </ul>
