🔧 PRO TIP
The 2000 Dakota remote is a separate piece from the ignition key. The fob handles lock, unlock, and the third button, while the key blade is cut separately and operates the ignition on its own. That means you can lose just the fob and still drive the truck, or lose just the key and still have a working remote. They are two independent items. The fob runs on a CR2025, which is a thinner coin cell than a lot of people expect. Before assuming the remote is dead, pop the back, swap the battery, and make sure the contacts are clean. These remotes from this era are also known to go through a program dropout after a battery dies completely, so even a fresh CR2025 might not fix range until the fob gets reprogrammed to the vehicle. One more thing: Dodge trucks from this period had a built-in onboard programming sequence for adding remotes, but it requires all currently working remotes to be present during the procedure or they get wiped. Know what you have before you start cycling the ignition.

2000 Dodge Dakota Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Out in Oxnard Shores, right off the water, a guy had a 2000 Dakota sitting in his driveway that he used for hauling gear to the marina. Nothing fancy, just a working truck. He had two remotes when he bought it used. One stopped working, he tossed it. The second one eventually did the same thing, and now he had nothing.

He figured he would just buy a cheap replacement fob online and program it himself. He found the factory button sequence, tried it maybe a dozen times, and nothing happened. He called me after that.

When I got there, I asked if he still had the fob he tossed. He did not. That was the issue. The onboard programming sequence on this generation of Dakota requires you to enter programming mode with a working remote first. No working remote, no self-programming. The sequence is designed that way, and there is no workaround from the driver seat.

I connected through the OBD port, ran the programming procedure with my equipment, and enrolled his new fob. Then I had him test lock and unlock from the end of the driveway while I watched the truck respond. Clean.

He mentioned the Dodge dealer was about 20 minutes up the road. He had already called them before me. They told him to drop the truck and they would get to it when they could. He was not willing to leave the truck. I did it in his driveway while the marine layer was still burning off.

“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”

“Super fast service. About 20 minutes from the call he was already there. He had an authentic replacement on hand and made a spare key for my 2017 Nissan Rogue in about 15 minutes. Great prices, friendly, and very professional.”

Dodge Dakota Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

Are you licensed and insured to work on Dodge vehicles?
Yes. EZ Car Keyz holds a California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services locksmith license and carries full liability insurance. For a 2000 Dakota, the remote programming is done through the OBD port and does not require secure gateway credentials the way some newer vehicles do. What it does require is the right programmer and knowing the correct procedure for this generation. We have both. You can verify the license through the BSIS website before you ever call us.
How do I know you are not a scam locksmith?
Will the replacement remote work exactly like the original?
I bought a replacement fob online for my 2000 Dakota. Can I program it myself or do I need someone with equipment?
My 2000 Dakota remote suddenly has terrible range. It used to work from across the parking lot and now I have to be right next to the door. What causes that?
