Dodge Remote Programming for Non-Transponder Vehicles
Updated 2026 26 vehicles 2004–2010
This procedure covers 26 Dodge and Mitsubishi vehicles from 2004 to 2010. Check that yours is listed below, then follow the steps.
Need the fob itself?
Pick your vehicle to see replacement fobs on Amazon. Match the FCC ID on your old fob before you buy.
Not sure which fob is yours? Find your year below for the exact FCC ID and part number.
On a transponder remote-key, the remote is programmed during the key procedure — use the key programming steps. On a non-transponder vehicle, you can program the remote yourself if you already have one working remote with all buttons functional. Any remote not reprogrammed now will stop working.
Before you start
- At least one working remote (all buttons functional)
- All your remotes
- Sit inside with all doors closed and the driver's seatbelt on; no one else in the vehicle
- 1Put the key in the ignition and turn to ON (as far as it goes without cranking the engine).
- 2With a working remote: press and hold UNLOCK; after at least 4 seconds, keep holding UNLOCK and also press PANIC within 6 seconds. A tone confirms programming mode. Release both.
- 3Within 60 seconds, for each remaining remote: press LOCK and UNLOCK together for 2 seconds and release (a tone sounds), then within 4 seconds press and release UNLOCK (a tone sounds).
- 4Repeat the previous step for every remaining remote, including working ones.
- 5Turn the ignition OFF, or wait 60 seconds, to exit programming mode, then test all remotes.
Tips & troubleshooting
- Up to 6 remotes can be programmed.
- No working remote? A locksmith or dealer must program the first one.
- If it enters programming mode but the new remote gives no tone, start over from step 1.
Which fob does your vehicle take?
These steps program a fob to your car — they can't tell you which fob to buy, and one that isn't the right part for your vehicle will not pair no matter how carefully you follow them. Find your vehicle below: tap your year for the exact fob it takes — FCC ID, OE part number and battery — or "Shop fobs" to browse replacements for that model.
