Ram, Dodge & Chrysler key replacement in Winnipeg — including 2018+ Security Gateway models.

Yes. The 5th-generation Ram 1500 (2019+) has a Security Gateway (SGW) module that makes the vehicle's programming network read-only by default — which is why an aftermarket locksmith without dealer-level Security Gateway access physically cannot write a new key to the immobilizer. I'm equipped for SGW-protected Stellantis vehicles, so 2019+ Ram 1500 (and 2500/3500 HD) keys are reliable one-trip jobs at your truck. The 4th-gen Ram 1500 (2009–2018) and the Ram Classic don't have SGW and are more straightforward.

That's the 2018+ Security Gateway lockdown, not the locksmith's fault. On 2018-and-newer Stellantis vehicles a hardware module sits between the programming network and the rest of the car and blocks writes unless you have the proper dealer-level access. A shop without it can plug in and read diagnostic data but can't add a key. I have the Security Gateway access and a current Stellantis software licence, so I can finish the job. Text me the year/model and I'll tell you straight whether yours is SGW-protected.

Spare or extra key starts at $90+ for a transponder key and $180+ for a FobIK or proximity Smart Key, if I supply. Less if you bring your own reputable aftermarket fob. Lost all keys (AKL) starts at $280+. Fob programming on its own starts at $90+. Pre-2018 platforms (older Charger, Caravan, 300, 4th-gen Ram) sit at the floor; 2018+ SGW platforms (5th-gen Ram 1500, Pacifica, newer Durango) sit higher because the Security Gateway access step adds time. Written quote by text before I dispatch — the number I send is the number you pay.

Yes. Charger (LD, 2011+) and Challenger (LC, 2008+) run the FobIK push-button family. The performance trims — R/T, Scat Pack, SRT, Hellcat, Demon — all use the same key as the base SXT of that year, so there's no special variant to worry about. Both were discontinued at the end of 2023 but the keys are well-supported aftermarket. Older LX Charger (2006–2010) uses the earlier transponder system and is a cheaper job.

Yes, and they're common in Winnipeg. The Dodge Grand Caravan (discontinued 2020) and Chrysler Town & Country (replaced by Pacifica in 2017) use the older Sentry Key / CAN transponder family — well-supported, no Security Gateway concerns, so spare keys and all-keys-lost are both straightforward and sit at the cheaper end of my Stellantis range. The newer Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager (2017+) are proximity Smart Key and 2018+ are SGW-protected.

Yes. The full-size Ram ProMaster (2014+) runs the Stellantis North American key flow even though the platform is Fiat-derived. It's common with trades and delivery operators here. One note: work-van keys often need extra ownership verification, because vans are more frequently disputed or fleet-owned assets — text me the year and I'll tell you what proof to have ready.

Yes — that's the all-keys-lost (AKL) job, and on a Ram, Dodge, or Chrysler the key question is whether you're on a 2018+ Security Gateway (SGW) platform. Using dealer-level access — the same information the dealership works from — I cut a fresh blade and program a new FobIK or Smart Key into your immobilizer on-site in Winnipeg, including SGW vehicles, no dealer tow. Before I start I verify ownership — photo ID matched to your registration or proof of insurance in your name — and if the documents are locked inside, I run the lockout first so you can pull them.
