Security System & Immobilizer
Ram trucks span Chrysler’s whole security history — 4D64 and ID46 transponders, the WIN fobik, and current Hitag AES smart keys.
On the 2500 / 3500 specifically we see: Texas Crypto 4D64, Philips Hitag2 ID46 (PCF7936/7941), Hitag2 ID46 (PCF7941/PCF7961A), Hitag2 ID46, Hitag AES ID4A (PCF7953M). A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Ram 2500 / 3500 Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my 2500 / 3500. 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 2500 / 3500 is push-to-start — can you program that outside the dealer?
Yes. Late models (2013–2018) use a proximity smart key on Hitag AES ID4A (PCF7953M) — we carry the fobs and the programmer, and we cut the emergency blade.
Do you still stock keys for older 2500 / 3500s?
Yes — back to the 1999–2005 generation (transponder key), and a fresh code-cut key beats any copy of a worn original.
How fast can you reach my 2500 / 3500 in DFW?
We dispatch the nearest mobile unit metroplex-wide, 24/7 — call (214) 717-6398 for an honest ETA.
