Good Morning -

I purchased an 05 Dodge Ram 1500 a few months back. When we settled on a price and had paperwork complete they gave me the keys. When I asked for the keyless remotes they told me they must have been lost by the previous owner or the model wasn't equipt with keyless entry.

I have found that the truck IS equipt with keyless entry.

They dealership refused to "cut me a deal" on new remotes.

I have found cheap remotes on ebay but have a question on programming. I have been told that I can do it with programming instructions. I have also been told that a dealership will need to use a computer to program the new remote.

Does anyone know if I really need to give the dealership over $100 bucks to program a new remote? Remember - As of now I have NO remotes.

Thanks very much in advance for any guidance.
