<h1>Smart Key Remote Programming Instructions – 2019 Ram ProMaster City</h1> <p><b>Important Notice:</b> The 2019 Ram ProMaster City does not support onboard programming for smart key fobs. This process must be completed by a certified automotive technician using advanced diagnostic tools that interface directly with the vehicle’s electronic systems.</p> <p><b>Step-by-Step Programming Instructions</b></p> <ul> <li>Step 1: Locate a Qualified Automotive Technician Find a certified technician who has experience with keyless entry systems and access to professional-grade diagnostic equipment compatible with Ram vehicles.</li> <li>Step 2: Bring All Smart Key Fobs Take all fobs you want to use with the vehicle. During programming, the system may delete any previously stored remotes, so each one must be reprogrammed during the same session to remain functional.</li> <li>Step 3: Confirm the Vehicle Is Operational If your ProMaster City is drivable, it is often more economical to bring it directly to the technician’s shop instead of requesting on-site mobile programming.</li> <li>Step 4: Provide Proof of Ownership Be prepared to show valid ownership documents, such as your vehicle registration or title, along with a government-issued photo ID. This may be required before the programming session can begin—especially if no working keys are available.</li> <li>Step 5: Technician Connects Diagnostic Equipment The technician will connect a diagnostic tool to the vehicle’s OBD-II port. This tool communicates with the vehicle’s body control and immobilizer systems to begin the key programming process.</li> <li>Step 6: Enter Key Programming Mode Using the scan tool, the technician will access the programming menu to clear any outdated or unrecognized remotes and initiate the process of adding new ones.</li> <li>Step 7: Program Each Remote Individually Each smart key fob will be registered one at a time. The technician will test each fob’s ability to lock and unlock doors, start the engine (if applicable), and operate any proximity-based features.</li> <li>Step 8: Save Programming and Exit Diagnostic Mode After programming all remotes, the technician will save the changes and exit the programming mode, ensuring all key data is securely stored in the system.</li> <li>Step 9: Test Each Key Fob for Full Functionality Verify that all programmed remotes operate as expected—confirming lock/unlock features, ignition control, and any additional smart features.</li> <li>Step 10: Keep a Backup Fob in a Safe Location Store a spare, programmed key fob in a secure place in case of future loss, damage, or failure of the primary remote.</li> </ul>
