RF Lockout Install scheduled for Tuesday…question please…

[Old Mopar Guy]

I understand the process is supposed to take a 1/2 hr or so, but how will know if they’ve actually done anything? Is there a process to test that the TSB install is actually working? Thanks.

You could try programming a new key...

 

[Old Mopar Guy]

I’d have no clue to even begin to know how that’s done…

Mine took about 40 minutes and yes they perform a validation test. Know they will only reprogram one FOB. If you want a second you will have to pay for it.

Do they have to reprogram your existing fobs?

They will only reprogram one of your FOBs. The 2nd one you will have to pay for. I did a 2nd Red key . I never use the black one anyway.

So just to be clear, in order to do the "rf lockout", as part of that, they reprogram your existing key fobs, but will only do one of the three that came with the car??

Sorry for being stupid, but that's so crazy it's baffling

That is correct.

Pretty sad they don't all of your fobs

Shouldn’t be surprised. Dodge has bent the knee.

 

[Old Mopar Guy]

That is correct.

Well that blows, he told me to bring all three so I’ll get back to you guys on that. Can’t imagine them making 2/3 of the fobs useless. I’ll have something to say about that.

I have a copy of the document and it reads 1 FOB. If you get more than one done good for you. It’s expensive getting the 2nd one configured.

 

[Old Mopar Guy]

Hopefully he hooks me up, but to only be left with fob is bs!

I got all of mine done for free. They reminded me to bring all of them! Nice dealer? The service department is anyway.

Exactly what happened to me with my 18. I brought the 3 FOB's that came with the car and a couple others I purchased from Steve White motors. They programmed all the FOB's and then did the hub lockdown. They charged me 100 for programming those extra FOB's that I brought in. No extra charges so maybe they were nice or something has changed since.

Maybe they are doing them all if your car is still under warranty, but charging for the others ??
Sucks since their incompetence & cheapness caused the issue in the 1st place !

My car was still under warranty so…

 

[DGatzby]

And mine was not. So.

 

[Octanewide]

My 18 was out of the 36 month warranty. They would have done it for free but I brought in 2 extra FOB's for programming.

How much were the spare fobs from Steve White?
