🔧 PRO TIP
Starting in 2018, Ram added a security gateway module to the OBD port. If you have a 2018 specifically, make sure whoever programs your key has a gateway bypass cable, or the programming will fail.

2016 Ram 1500 Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I can usually get to you in Vista within 30 to 45 minutes. The 2016 Ram 1500 key replacement takes 25 to 50 minutes depending on whether you have a working key or it's all-keys-lost. From phone call to engine running, most Ram jobs wrap up in about an hour.

A framing contractor called at 6:15am from a lumber yard in Vista. His crew was at the build site waiting for materials. His 1500 Fobik had snapped at the blade pivot when he twisted it in the WIN module too hard. Half the blade was stuck in the ignition. He couldn't be late.

I keep my van stocked and ready by 6am. I was at the yard in 20 minutes. I used my CY24 Lishi to extract the broken fragment without damaging the wafers. His Remote Head Key, FCC ID GQ4-53T, was a 5-button Fobik. I cut a new blade, rebuilt the Fobik, and programmed through OBD. Total hands-on time was about 30 minutes.

He was loaded and heading to the job site by 7. Total was $185. Dealer would have been $395 plus a tow plus a crew sitting idle.

Ram 1500 Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

What if I need a Ram key after hours or on the weekend?
Most Ram dealer service departments close by 5 PM on weekdays and are closed on Sundays. If you lose your key on a Saturday evening or after hours, you are stuck until Monday unless you call a mobile locksmith. One Ram 1500 Bighorn owner had a key recognition failure and waited over six hours for roadside assistance just to get towed, and still had to wait for the dealer to open. We work outside of normal dealer hours so you are not left waiting days for a key.
