<h1>Smart Key Remote Programming Instructions – 2019 Ram ProMaster</h1> <p><b> Important Notice:</b> The 2019 Ram ProMaster does not support onboard programming for smart key fobs. Programming must be carried out by a certified automotive technician using specialized diagnostic equipment capable of interfacing with the vehicle’s control modules.</p> <p><b>Step-by-Step Programming Instructions</b></p> <ul> <li>Step 1: Find a Certified Automotive Technician Locate a technician with experience in vehicle security systems and access to professional-grade diagnostic tools compatible with Ram ProMaster vehicles.</li> <li>Step 2: Bring All Remote Fobs to the Appointment If you plan to use multiple remotes, take all of them with you. During programming, older keys may be erased from memory and must be reprogrammed alongside the new one(s).</li> <li>Step 3: Confirm That the Vehicle Is Drivable If your ProMaster is operational, you may reduce programming costs by bringing the vehicle directly to the technician's facility rather than requesting mobile service.</li> <li>Step 4: Prepare Proof of Ownership Have your vehicle registration or title and a valid photo ID available. This information may be required before the technician can proceed with programming.</li> <li>Step 5: Technician Connects Diagnostic Equipment The technician will plug a diagnostic tool into the OBD-II port under the dashboard. This allows secure communication with the vehicle’s immobilizer and body control systems.</li> <li>Step 6: Enter Programming Mode Using the diagnostic tool, the technician will access the programming interface, allowing new smart key fobs to be added and unrecognized ones to be removed.</li> <li>Step 7: Program Each Smart Key Fob Each remote will be registered individually.
