@@barrettgarage1088 yeah I've used it to swap over to leds and the global windows down. I just never tried to do a remote fob program. So this was cool to do.

Hey, thanks for the video. I tried to program my fobik on my 2018 Ram 1500 Tradesman, the key starts the truck but the lock and unlock features don't work. I try to program that alone and I got an error code saying:'' Failed. The ECU detected that the request contains parameter(s) with value(s) outside allowable range.'' Do you have any idea how to pass that?
great video. ill be coming back to this soon. im installing a factory remote start soon as well and need to program new fobs as well. before i do that, would i be able to do all that and still try to program the new fob after as well or fobs first and then add remote start?
@@barrettgarage1088 oh ok gotcha. i will definately be doing some upgrades to my basic ram here in the upcoming weeks. thank you very much for the reply.
I just got my 2015 Ram1500 5.7 H I tried to program my second key fob I was new to alpha OBD didn’t read what it said now I’m able to turn the truck, on, but I cannot close and open the doors any ideas?
Is it the right key fob I did a guy's key and he got the wrong key model number so it did the same thing. It was for the wrong year truck I think he said. He got another key and I fixed it.
Probably because its switched to your tablet ? can you use alfaobd in 2 devices at the same time? I read somewhere where is mentioned thats when you switch to a different device you have to deactivated first and than switch.
I figured it out later on but I want people to see that things don't work the way we expect so we have to overcome the issue and continue. Anyways I have the obdlink ex cable for using forscan and it worked perfectly for this also along with bmw software. The laptop is just old with alot of issues I tried to make it something that it was not.
Can you use obdlink EX with alfaobd ? I have a dodge grand caravan I tried it but wont connect so I had to send it back and ordered obdlink mx+. Do u know?
You can just add a key I get them from Amazon or ebay if I need a quick fix when the contactor comes loose inside the and the buttons get unresponsive so I overnight a cheap one while waiting for an oem key
Could you get the app free on your smartphone??? If so could you program a ram 1500 truck 2018 with that app ??? Does it read the pin from your truck wireless ????? Thanks 👍
The alfaobd app is not free and the pin puller is free for the first time pulling your pin and it will work on 2018 but you will need the security bypass cable to do it
I wonder. Has anyone tried this method with the Vlink MC+ instead of the Obdlink MX+ ? I know AlfaOBD website says the Vlink MC+ works with Alfaobd in general. But it doesn't say if the key fob programming feature superficially, will work with Vlink MC+. I mean it also doesn't specifically say the Obdlink MX+ works with the key feature either. If anyone has done this with the Vlink MC, I'd appreciate it if you could confirm it works. Thanks
@@MountKash1sure, I did some research on it and it should work hence went and purchased this. Obdlink is quite over the budget. Anyway will definitely let you know once it's successful or isn't.
@@rameezm23 I ended up just ordering it too and I just tried the Key Fob Programming. And I can confirm that the *Vgate vLinker MC+* does in fact work. I just programmed an extra Fob. I didn't try to mess with anything else yet. So I don't know if it will do absolutely everything that the OBDLink MX+ is capable of. But the vLinker MC+ can definitely program fobs for sure !
Dealer claims only bind 8 keys if cheap $10 key fails after a year that uses up one binded key no way to remove old keys. Once the 8 is used up then have to replace some module not sure how expensive that is. Something to keep in mind not sure if dealer is right or not that what they said.
There is a clear all option that will delete all the keys in the rf hub so if they are cheap and keep getting more eventually you can delete them all and move forward with adding a new key or keys
The dealership will give it to you if you call them or I use the pin puller app when I do it for people since I can do it anytime not just when the dealership is open
@@donaldmajewski5256 the app is free to download and you can get the pin for your truck it'll always be the same number and the first use is free I don't remember price after that. I haven't done one for someone in months.
No not yet I do plan on it soon. If you look it up it's on ebay all Mopar parts in a kit for like 300 bucks. I just haven't had time off work yet to to do it or order it. With other projects going on.
I see that you put the key in lock position? Or it need to be in run position before you put the pin and hit start ? Mine said run position? Im still having trouble programming my key fob (2010 dodge grand caravan ) driving me crazy . Also i see that some alfaobd have too many selections to choose from and some doesn’t?? Like Read pin……
Thanks, Was debating on this setup or the Xtools Thing, Hard part is, none of them in their Descriptions say exactly if they can do the WIN Module replacement or not and don't want to spend the money on something that Won't do it as mine is shot and needs replaced asap. @@barrettgarage1088
Call the dealership give them your vin and they will give it to you, or there's a chrysler pin puller app you can get for your phone or tablet whatever you are using and it will get the pin for that vehicle. Sorry I forgot to mention that in the video.
@@barrettgarage1088 will the dealership give you the pin...?? That's what I have been wondering..... Have you ever actually gotten a pin from a dealership....? Thanks for any information.
@G B I have a friend that works in parts room at the dealership you go there with registration showing you own the vehicle with the matching Vin number and they will give it to you for free since you own the truck you own the pin number to it.
Did you ever get this working? I seen a comment below yours saying key was programmed and I thought you fixed it and did not respond not seeing it was from a different user I'm sorry about that.
@@barrettgarage1088 No worries, yeah it turns out the FOBIK I purchased on ebay was some Chinese knockoff that wasn't compatible, I purchased an OE and got it to work just fine. Thanks for checking in!
I am blown away that this video was edited but the first 5 and a half minutes were still left in to completely waste my time watching you waste your time. smdh
Thanks for the video.. Worked great on my co-workers truck.. He was so happy I could do this without going to the dealer.

Wrong year key 2018 and up are different keys than the 2013 to 2017 and 2009 to 2012 keys
Did you get the remote starter programmer on your key fob?
No, right when I was going to I got a ridiculously good job offer so I moved and while moving a drunk girl totaled the Ram.
Hey man I lost both my truck keys . I got the PIN number from the dealer , do you know if this process will program my new fobik I got from amazon
Yes you don't need a old key to program a new one.

Will adding a new spare key make your original one not work?

You can program or "sync" it to you dash module now and later, but each module can only store 10 keys in the memory don't go over that and your good.
@@barrettgarage1088 oh ok gotcha. i will definately be doing some upgrades to my basic ram here in the upcoming weeks. thank you very much for the reply.
Ur videos are very informative u know ur stuff
I still have a lot to learn but I'm doing this to help others learn as I learn it.
Where do we get the PIN number from ?
How do you put it in the lock position?
Without a key in the ignition it should already be in the lock position.
@@barrettgarage1088 just go it to work!!! Tysm!!!!
@Jay-lf6ox no problem glad I could help
Where did you get the pin ? 4870
You think is the same steps to 2011 ram 2500?
09 10 11 and 12 are similar but different. But it's not so much different that you can't figure it from this.

@@imjustme1991 I specifically made a video for you to answer your questions

Can you use the alfaobd to install and program a new WIN module? Mines a 2012 and the module is shot.
If I'm not mistaken you can change it and then program a key so the win and frequency hub communicate properly with the new key.

Does the Alfaobd give you the pin? I just read about this today cause my win module is going out and the dealer wants 180 just to program.
@jamiebardell7808 no it does not give the pin call the dealer give them hour bin and they will give you the pin number
So i got my key programmed and it works in the ignition but doesn't work for the doors. Do you think I got a bad key fob? It's an aftermarket one
Nevermind, the issue was the aftermarket case didn't work with the aftermarket key
Ah see you taught me something to keep in mind thanks man.
Great job buddy
