So, when I bought my truck back in June, the dealership only had one key for it. I bought a blank, unprogramed key from my local Dodge dealership, for 90 bucks. My question is, the manual states you need two valid keys to program a third. Can I just skip the second valid key, or fake it out, so I can program the key myself, or is this going to be a trip to the dealer issue?



Thanks,



Kevin
 
I'd pressure the dealer and make him cough up two more keys. I believe it's the dealer's responsibility to furnish the correct number of keys with every vehicle they sell.

There's the issue. Dealership I bought it from was a used Car dealership in Ozark, Missouri. Not a dodge outfit. I'm thinking I might have to bite the bullet on this one.
 
If your still in the area, go to Central Dodge in Springfield, Mo. Talk to Terry in the service department. If any one can help you, he can!
 
Wish I was. I'm home in the AK. I know the guys here pretty well though. They should be able to give me a little break.

:-laf:-laf It was a used car,that should have been negotiated but no requirements written as law yet

I had the same situation. I have one key only. I bought a blank key from dealership and program it myself following the instruction from the owner's manual. No problem.

I didn't know I need two valid keys to program a third one. :-laf
 
I did mine like six months ago. Failed to program the blank new key until I changed the battery that came with the blank key from the dealership.

FYI.
