Adding a remote to the factory alarm in a 2008 Dodge Ram

From : ed mcdill

Q: i have a 2008 dodge ram with the factory alarm. i purchased a spare key/remote off ebay and need help programming it to the factory alarm. i verified the fcc id and dodge part number before purchasing the spare remote. i do have 2 working remotes at this time. do you have to go to the dealer or can the remote be added by me i have seen programming procedures where you turn the ignition on unlock the door locks and stand on one leg and press a button on the remote for older dodge trucks. is there a simular procedure for the 2008 ram thanks .

i have a 2008 dodge ram with the factory alarm. i purchased a spare key/remote off ebay and need help programming it to the factory alarm. i verified the fcc id and dodge part number before purchasing the spare remote. i do have 2 working remotes at this time. do you have to go to the dealer or can the remote be added by me i have seen programming procedures where you turn the ignition on unlock the door locks and stand on one leg and press a button on the remote for older dodge trucks. is there a simular procedure for the 2008 ram thanks insert one of the two valid keys into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the on position. after the ignition switch has been in the on position for longer than 3 seconds but no more than 15 seconds cycle the ignition switch back to the off position. replace the first valid key in the ignition switch lock cylinder with the second valid key and turn the ignition switch back to the on position. the second valid key must be inserted in the lock cylinder within 15 seconds of removing the first valid key. about 10 seconds after the security indicator in the instrument cluster will start to flash to indicate that the system has entered the customer learn programming mode. within 60 seconds of entering the customer learn programming mode turn the ignition switch to the off position replace the valid key with a blank key and turn the ignition switch back to the on position. about 10 seconds the security indicator will stop flashing stay on solid for 3 seconds then turn off to indicate that the blank key has been successfully programmed. the skis will immediately exit the customer learn programming mode. after the ignition is cycled the vehicle may be started using the newly programmed valid sentry key. glenn beasley chrysler tech .
