Question- who here has programmed a key fob to their 5th gen? I found 2 reviews on Amazon, of all places, while I was searching for a remote start key fob for my 2021. These 2 guys who wrote reviews for this key fob said they successfully programmed a key fob to their truck using OBD J Scan.

I haven’t. Still waiting for confirmation that it can be done as far as I know. Get the Amazon ones. You can always return them if unsuccessful

Hey guys. I’m new here. Looking into Jscan to activate the turn signal and puddle lights on my tow mirrors. 2021 Ram 1500 classic (DS). I see two types of bypass cables I might need. The red Chrysler 3 plug seems pretty common and easy to get, but I think the plugs are behind the radio and I haven’t located them yet. The other one is similar but with (2) 2 pin smaller plugs on the end. These would plug in right behind the headlight panel in the dash. But they seem harder to find for purchase. Would both types work for the bypass cable? I plan to use the Veepeak OBDcheck BLE (no +) from Amazon, Jscan and an IPhone. Any suggestions would be great.

(I’d also like to add that it’s a classic so I really don’t know if I should look for 4th gen or 5th gen when it comes to body parts vs engine and computer modules.)

Treat it like the HD trucks that have the SGM behind the cluster. PITA unless you use the cable that plugs into the canbus blocks behind the headlight switch.

If KAOdTECH doesn't have stock on the SGM bypass cable, try sending a PM to @Jimmy07
