Video tutorial on how to program or add a new remote to your Dodge. This particular Dodge product I am working with is a 2003 Dodge Dakota, but this procedure does apply to other Dodge models, as well as Chrysler, Plymouth, and Jeep models. In order to add or program a keyless remote, you must have a working existing one. Up to four keyless remotes can be programmed to one vehicle. When adding or programming remotes, you must add all the extra remotes within 30 seconds during the programming sequence.
