2018 Ram 1500 Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Do you need to tow your 2018 Ram 1500 to the dealer? Probably not. For most Ram trucks from the late 2000s through the early 2020s, I handle all-keys-lost right at the vehicle.

An overnight security guard at an industrial park in Carlsbad had his only Fobik die at work around 11:30pm. His 1500 was parked at the gate with a dead key. He assumed a tow was inevitable and started looking up costs and dealer hours. I told him to stay put.

I connected my Smart Pro to OBD and ran the Ram Fobik AKL procedure. His Remote Head Key, FCC ID GQ4-53T, was a 5-button Fobik. I programmed it in the industrial park lot at midnight.

His total was about $185. Dealer would have been $395 plus a tow. There are a small number of very new Ram platforms where my tools don't support AKL yet. Those go to the dealer and I'll tell you upfront. But for the vast majority on the road, I do all-keys-lost on-site every week.

Ram 1500 Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

My key broke in the ignition. Can you get it out?
Yes. Broken key extraction is a standard job for a mobile automotive locksmith. We use specialized tools to remove the broken piece without damaging your Ram's ignition cylinder or lock housing. Once it is out, we can cut a new key from the extracted piece or from your vehicle's lock data and program it on the spot. Ram Fobik blades are known to snap when forced in a sticky or frozen lock. One Ram 1500 owner snapped his only fob off in the ignition at work and had a mobile locksmith handle the entire situation on site in about 35 minutes.
What is a Remote Head Key?
My Ram says key not detected. What do I do?
