<h1>Smart Key Remote Programming Instructions – 2021 Ram ProMaster</h1> <p><font size="3"><b>Important Notice:</b> The 2021 Ram ProMaster is not onboard programmable. Smart key fobs for this vehicle must be programmed using specialized diagnostic tools by a certified automotive technician. </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 Identify a qualified technician with experience in key programming for commercial vehicles. The technician should have manufacturer-grade diagnostic tools capable of interfacing with Ram systems. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Bring All Intended Key Fobs Gather every smart key fob you plan to use with the vehicle. During programming, the system may erase all previously stored remotes, so all active fobs must be present.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 3: Confirm Vehicle Drivability If the ProMaster is operational, driving it to the technician’s facility may reduce the cost compared to requesting mobile service. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Prepare Ownership Documentation Be ready to show proof of ownership, such as your vehicle registration or title along with a valid photo ID. This step is especially important if no working keys are available. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: Technician Connects Diagnostic Tools The technician will connect a diagnostic interface to the vehicle’s OBD-II port to access the body control module and initiate the key programming process. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Enter Programming Mode Through the scan tool, the technician will activate the key programming function. At this stage, old or unrecognized fobs may be cleared, and new ones can be added. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Program Each Remote Individually Each smart key fob will be programmed one by one. The technician will test the remote's ability to lock and unlock doors, start the engine (if applicable), and activate any proximity-based features. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 8: Complete Programming Session Once all remotes are successfully programmed, the technician will finalize the changes and exit the programming mode. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Verify Remote Functionality Test each programmed fob to confirm that all intended features—locking, unlocking, ignition, and optional remote start—are working correctly. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 10: Store a Backup Remote Safely Keep an extra, programmed remote in a secure location in case the primary fob is lost, damaged, or stops functioning.</font></li> </ul>
