Viper 5901, ’06 Dodge Ram

well, if i go buy this key at lowes and it works, will that work as my second key?

No, it will just prove that your truck does not have an immobilizer system and does not need the transponder portion of the XK532. Soldering is fun!

not even going to waste my time. i did some research and found out my key isnt a programmed key therefore not having a transponder. A simple test proves this even more, go to ebay, search "transponder key 2006 dodge ram" that key isn't mine. mine is completely different. now I find other keys like mine on the net that dont have chips. So that is kind of proven. So when the kit comes, do i just skip over that chunk of the instructions? It seems like some stuff is done...

isn't your key an all in one with keyless and such built into the base of the key? if so open the fob, and take the "guts" out and try starting with just the skeleton key. very simple.... can't say i've seen a chrysler that style NOT have a transponder.A DMM is a beautiful thing.

My key, is one that has an electronic device that activates the panic, locks the doors and unlocks. All it is, is a shell with a key attached to it. And the electronic peice can be taken out and put into another and have the key cut and it will work.

so you've started the vehicle with the electronics removed and by just using the skeleton key?A DMM is a beautiful thing.

No, but I have enough common sense to know that the electronic device that I am able to take out only goes to the lock,unlock,and panic button. The remote portion serves no other purpose, there is no connection. I know if I take it out, my car will start. Simple as that.

Go with DEI's DB-ALL. From experience it is far more reliable than the XK09, still made by Directed and doesn't require extra modules just to flash it. It comes pre-flashed and only needs to be wired and programed.Gary Sather

try it out. i'm curious. maybe you can teach me a thing or two. because i first hand have experienced numerous where the electronics that do the lock unlock, also have the transponder built into that same piece. look at the alternative method for programming the xk532.... it tells you to open up a key/fob. wonder why...A DMM is a beautiful thing.

Yes instead of wasting all this time, remove the electronics from the key and with the car unlocked, wait 5 mins then turn the naked key in the ignition and see if it starts and runs.
