About Ram 1500 Keys
Verified key reference for the Dodge Ram 1500 — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer each generation uses. Boundary years can overlap; we confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.
| Model / Generation | Years | Key Type | Transponder / Immobilizer | Blade / FCC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ram 1500 (FOBIK) | 2009–2018 | FOBIK (integrated fob key) | Philips Crypto2 / Hitag2 / ID46 (PCF7941 / PCF7961A) | Y159 emergency insert (CY24) |
| Ram 1500 (smart) | 2013–2018 | Smart / proximity (PEPS) | Hitag AES / ID-4A (PCF7953M) | Y159 emergency insert (CY24) |
| Ram 1500/2500/3500 | 2019–2021 | Smart / proximity (PEPS) | Hitag AES / ID-4A | Y159 emergency insert (CY24) |
Security System & Immobilizer
Dodge uses Chrysler’s Sentry Key system — 4D64 then ID46 transponders, the fobik, and Keyless Enter-N-Go 4A proximity fobs.
On the Ram 1500 specifically we see: Philips Crypto2 / Hitag2 / ID46 (PCF7941 / PCF7961A), Hitag AES / ID-4A (PCF7953M), Hitag AES / ID-4A. A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Dodge Ram 1500 Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my Ram 1500. What now?
We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site — no tow, no dealer wait.
My Ram 1500 is push-to-start — can you program that outside the dealer?
Yes. Late models (2019–2021) use a proximity smart key on Hitag AES / ID-4A — we carry the fobs and the programmer, and we cut the emergency blade.
Do you still stock keys for older Ram 1500s?
Yes — back to the 2009–2018 generation (fobik (integrated fob key)), and a fresh code-cut key beats any copy of a worn original.
How fast can you reach my Ram 1500 in DFW?
