<h1>Smart Key Remote Programming Instructions – 2024 Ram ProMaster</h1> <p><font size="3"><b>Important Notice:</b> The 2024 Ram ProMaster does not support onboard programming for smart key fobs. This procedure requires a certified automotive technician who has access to specialized diagnostic tools capable of interfacing 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 Qualified Automotive Technician Locate a professional with experience in electronic key programming and access to manufacturer-level diagnostic equipment suitable for Ram commercial vehicles. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Bring All Smart Key Fobs to the Appointment Collect all key fobs you wish to use. During the programming process, the system may clear previously stored remotes, so all active fobs must be present to be reprogrammed. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Ensure Vehicle Is Operational If the vehicle is drivable, consider taking it to the technician’s location. This can reduce the cost of service compared to a mobile visit. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Provide Proof of Ownership You may need to show your vehicle registration or title and a government-issued photo ID. This helps verify ownership and authorizes key programming, especially if no working remotes are available. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: Technician Connects Diagnostic Equipment The technician will connect a scan tool to the vehicle’s OBD-II port. This equipment is used to access the vehicle’s body control module or immobilizer system to begin programming. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Activate Key Programming Mode Using the diagnostic interface, the technician will initiate the key programming sequence. At this stage, any previously unrecognized or invalid remotes may be erased from the system. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Program Each Remote Fob One by One Each smart key is programmed individually. The technician will verify full functionality, including lock/unlock buttons, push-button start (if equipped), and proximity access features. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 8: Finalize the Programming Session After all fobs are successfully programmed, the technician will save the new data, exit programming mode, and disconnect the equipment. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Test Each Remote Thoroughly Check that every fob performs all expected functions—locking and unlocking doors, starting the engine, and activating any proximity features. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 10: Secure a Backup Fob Store a spare programmed fob in a safe place to ensure you're prepared in the event the primary remote is lost or fails.</font></li> </ul>
