Dodge Keys and Fobs Replaced On Site
We cut and program keys for most Dodge cars and trucks, and we do it at the vehicle. Ram, Charger, Challenger, Durango, Grand Caravan, Dakota and Neon owners call us regularly. If your make isn’t Dodge, check our full car key replacement page.
A locked Ram pickup or Durango with the key inside needs the door opened, and nothing more. We handle that as a car lockout, and the Dodge is opened without a scratch.
Our van stocks the common Dodge keys: chip keys for older models, pod-style fobs for the years that use them, and push-button smart keys for newer ones. Give us the year when you call, because the same model can use a different key from one year to the next.
Losing a key to a work truck or the family van throws off the whole day. We aim to get to you the same day, and the key is made in one visit.
Newer Dodge blades are laser cut, with a track milled into the side. Our high-security cutter handles those, and the programmer in the van pairs the new key to the vehicle.
Find your Dodge and Ram key
Pick the year and model to see which key your Dodge or Ram takes. Each listing shows the key type, the transponder chip, the remote’s FCC ID, the OEM part number and the Ilco key blank for Dodge and Ram models from 1990 to 2025. If a Dodge or Ram listing says “Call to confirm,” we haven’t confirmed that detail yet.
This Dodge and Ram list is a guide only. Some Dodge and Ram keys changed partway through a model year, and some Dodge and Ram models take a key that isn’t listed here. Before you buy a key, call a Dodge or Ram dealer with your VIN for the part number.
Lost or Stolen Dodge Keys
All keys lost is a job we do often. We work out the cuts from the vehicle, make the key and program it there. You don't need the original.
Most Dodges since the late 1990s check a chip in the key before the engine will run. A key cut without programming will turn the ignition and then nothing happens. Programming is what makes it a working key.
If your keys were stolen, we can take them out of the vehicle's memory during programming. A thief holding the old key can't drive off with it afterward.
Broken Dodge Keys
Save a snapped or cracked key. Reading the cuts from the old blade is the fastest route to a new one, and it avoids decoding the lock or looking up a code.
A key that turns hard or sticks in the ignition can be a worn key or a worn ignition cylinder. We can tell which once we see it, and we handle ignition repair too.
Call (484) 891-1922 with the year, make and model for pricing and availability on your Dodge key. Add where you are and we'll give an estimated time of arrival. Wherever your Dodge is in the Lehigh Valley, we bring the key to you. Browse the towns we serve.

Dodge Key Questions
What if the new Dodge key stops working?
Factory defects are covered on Dodge parts, and craftsmanship is covered on the work.
Could a worn key be why my Dodge won't start?
It could. Keys wear down and so do ignition cylinders. A new Dodge cylinder goes in at the car, is relearned, and is keyed to the door key. Our ignition repair page explains the rest.
Does a Dodge key cost more at night?
No. No extra charge for an emergency Dodge key, and the pricing structure does not move with the hour.
Which key does my Dodge or Ram take?
Dodge and Ram used the fobik, the fob that pushes into the dash and turns, for most of a decade before moving to a push-button smart key. The pattern for the models we see most:
- Ram 1500: 2009 to 2018, a fobik, with a push-button smart key on 2013 to 2018 trucks that have push-button start. 2019 on, a push-button smart key. The Ram 1500 Classic kept the fobik through 2024. Ram 2500 and 3500 moved to the smart key in 2019 as well.
- Charger and Challenger: 2008 to 2014, a fobik, with a Keyless Go fobik on the upper trims. 2015 on, a smart key.
- Durango: 2011 to 2013, a fobik. 2014 on, a smart key.
- Grand Caravan (2008 to 2020): a fobik with the power-door and liftgate buttons. Journey (2009 to 2020): a fobik, or a push-button smart key on trims with push-button start.
- Dart (2013 to 2016): a remote-head key on the base trims, a smart key on the upper ones.
Year, model and trim, or the VIN, and we confirm which Dodge key you have before driving.
Our car key chart has the same finder for 56 makes, not just Dodge and Ram.
I lost every key to my Dodge or Ram. Can you still make one?
Yes. All-keys-lost on a Dodge or Ram is done at the vehicle, fobik and smart key models included. For the latest Dodge model years, we confirm on the call before setting out. Pricing and availability for your Dodge start with the year, model and trim on the call.
Do you program the Ram push-button smart key?
Yes. We carry the smart keys for the 2019 and newer Ram, the Charger, Challenger and Durango and pair them to the vehicle where it sits. A working Dodge key lets the tech read the cut and set up the copy beside it.
Does a Dodge or Ram dealer have to make the key?
Almost never. The Dodges and Rams we see every week are done on site, including the 2018 and newer models with the security gateway. Lawful possession of the Dodge is confirmed as part of the job.
