How to Program Keyless Entry Remotes on a Dodge
You can program a keyless-entry remote for many Dodge vehicles, although most newer models require dealer programming. All Dodge vehicles require a currently-programmed remote to enter the synchronization mode. If you don't have a working remote, a visit to your Dodge dealer's service department is required to initiate programming. Perform each action in a timely manner or the system will exit programming mode and the procedure will not be successful.
