Anyone dealt with this before? Can I buy a fob off of Amazon and get it programed easily or do I get stuck for $250 by the Dodge dealer?


We charge to program….. .5 at accessory rate. We’ll gladly “attempt” to program carry in keys, but if they don’t program, you’re still paying. That said the last couple years I don’t recall having any “ebay keys” not working.
