You need the alfaOBD android app and a OBDLinkMX bluetooth adapter. You will also need the 4 digit PIN from a dealer or PIN puller app.

Program key:
Start alfaOBD. Select Dodge/Ram, select Dodge Dart (PF), select Radio Frequency Hub (RFH), select control unit radio frequency hub. Select the Fiat open hood icon. Under the select procedures to start pull down menu, select Program Ignition Fobiks Baseline System. Enter your four digit number. You then remove your original key from the ignition node and insert the new key into the node but leave the ignition position to OFF or Lock and press Start. After a few seconds, it will say Completed.

Hey, sorry to revive an old thread but I have a couple questions.

1) How could I pull the PIN for my vehicle? You said pin puller app, but what do you recommend? I'm pretty tech savvy but not too familiar with car computers and I like to avoid dealerships if at all possible.

2) If I got a fob with the remote start option, could I program my 2013 limited 1.4T MTX to utilize the remote start or are manual darts not capable of it? I know it's generally a bad idea to have remote start on a manual but I religiously park in neutral with the ebrake, and with these ~0° days, it sure would be nice to have.

I have the OBDLink MX+ and the alfaobd app already.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

You should be able to get the PIN from a dealer. Can't hurt to ask and it should be free. You would need proof of ownership. If your dealer refuses or wants money, then look for the PIN puller app. It's a 4 digit number. It's not a rolling number that expires in 12 hours. It's not the number that starts with the letter M, that's the key code.

I found a way to receive your own PIN CODE without the dealer :)

So I used the OBDLink MX OBD2 reader and downloaded an app called Pin Puller. It says it need elm237 pr something but when you connect using Blietooth it says its using the MX like an ELM!! From this point you than click on the model vehcile you have and purchase some points. For pin code its...

The clutch safety switch will likely complicate a remote start fob. May need an aftermarket solution if it exists.

 

That's fair. And I figured as much for the remote start. Thanks for the quick response!

One last question: Currently I have the 4 button keyless fob. If I got the same fob but 5-button w/ remote start and the remote start function doesn't work, will that fob still be fine for it's normal functions (trunk, unlock, lock, and panic)? I'm guessing yes but it's worth an ask before buying it. Thanks again!

 

I would also guess yes that the other functions would still work but not sure if anyone here has ever tried it. Try searching other FCA forums.

 

Alright. I may just buy and try since it's not too expensive. I'll update here if I do.

 

Let us know if you do the PIN puller app. I tried it a while back and it wouldn't work, it would give an error. I emailed the dev and they emailed me the PIN I just never got around to buying a key I was just using credits I had from my google surveys before they expired.

 

Try contacting Alexey.

There was someone on the Ram forum that was able to get their PIN using an alfaOBD test version.

 

I couldn't get mine to work. Tried all the different types and in different running states (ign on/off, acc only, hazards on/off). Just kept getting error or ECU unresponsive. When I check the help tab it shows this:

Any y'all got a 2008 to '10 dart? lol

Going to the webpage, there isn't any darts listed.

My dart is keyless so I'm guessing it uses RFH2 and isn't
supported. I reached out to my local dodge dealer about getting the PIN and they said they didn't know what PIN I was talking about. They could program my new fob for me though for about $50. So that's where I left it. Hopefully the AlfaOBD app can do it.

Which they'll need the pin to program. What mooks.

I have a keyed one.

 

Also, if you don't reach out to the AlfaOBD dev, let me know and I will. It'd be nice to have an additional fob.

 

I reached out to him, and also emailed my log to the chrysler code puller guys.

 

I know right? When they said that, I didn't even reply to the email.

 

I bet all the dealers hate him, lol.

 

If he does and it works, I owe him a beer. Thank god for this guy and his continuous work on our PITA ECUs.

 

AlfaOBD has been updated to pull the PIN under the RFH functions. It didn't work for me, said 0000 then went to program this fob and it said invalid PIN. I emailed my log to him.

Chrysler pin puller never got back to me....

 

AlfaOBD got back to me with my pin and apologized for the feature not quite working. What a swell guy. 😄

Keyfob successfully programmed!

 

So was the PIN somewhere in the log that you sent him?

 

Yep

 

Did he say that he can fix it so that the app can provide the PIN?

 

He did not specify when a fix would be available, but I'm guessing my log helped him out seeings as he was able to give me the pin from the debug log. It's just a matter of him fixing the code to display it properly instead of 0000.

 

Awesome news! I tried it out earlier today and got the same results as you (0000 invalid) so I'll try it again later and check the logs.

 

Alright, so I reached out to Alexey and got my PIN. Now my hangup is the proper procedure for programing a keyless fob. I started the fob baseline programming process on AflaOBD and pushed the lock button on the new fob right by the start button but it tells me to put the key in the ignition and leave it in the lock state. Anyone know the keyless equivalent to that? I had the car in ACC that time, then when I tried with the car OFF, the process failed. Tried again OFF with hazards on but still failed. Anybody happen to know the proper procedure or have any ideas to try?

 

For pushbutton start, pretty sure you should have selected Program Ignition Fobiks Highline System. Then follow directions.

 

Alright, that's what I was figuring. We posted at the same time lol.

 

Here's what the dart service manual says (image below). In AlfaOBD, there is two fobik programming options: baseline and highline. Is the keyless the highline? I don't want to start trying different things without knowing what they do first .

 

Baseline Fobik is the fob that you insert or the lollipop key that you insert.

 

Success! Thank you for the help!

And to confirm, even though my car doesn't have remote start, the fob with the remote start option (5 key instead of 4) still works with the car.

 

Yeah I didn't know what baseline or highline meant. The names are really bad. I found out highline is the proximity fobik for keyless entryand the baseline is the regular inserted key style.

I was very happy to see the added support for pulling the PIN from the Radio Frequency Hub. That worked nicely on both my Dart and my 2010 RAM 1500. I was also able to reprogram an old key that was lost from my RAM 1500!

I was not able to reprogram an old key on my DART.... The dealership has really screwed me over on losing multiple keys from 3 different vehicles over the years. If they don't want to earn that stealership name, they need to stop screwing things up and then trying to charge people to fix their screw ups.

Anyway, I think there is a device out there that can reset already programmed keys, but I bought a new factory key and a new key from Keyless Entry Remote FOB and both the cheaper keys and the new factory one programmed right up.

A key that has already been programmed will cause AlfoOBD to timeout with no real useful error message.
