Critical Programming Requirements for Dodge RAM ProMaster
Battery Disconnect Required for 2014–2016 Models
For all 2014–2016 Dodge ProMaster vehicles, you must disconnect the battery before attempting key programming. This prevents potential damage to vehicle modules and ensures a successful programming process.
12+8 FCA Bypass Cable Required for 2020 and Newer
Starting in 2020, ProMaster vehicles include a secure gateway module that requires a 12+8 bypass cable. This cable is essential for accessing and programming keys on these models.
Proximity Smart Keys Not Supported
At this time, proximity (push-to-start) smart keys are not supported for any year of Dodge RAM ProMaster. This release applies strictly to standard remote and transponder keys.
Pre-Coding Is Mandatory
All ProMaster key programming jobs require pre-coding with the appropriate tool:
-
KC100 pre-coder is included with AutoProPAD G3 Evolution and G2
-
KC501 pre-coder is included with AutoProPAD G2 Turbo
Make sure your device is fully updated to access this expanded coverage.
