Which Ram 1500 does the 68159657AG smart key fit?

The 68159657AG smart key fits the Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 2013-2018 with the 5-button layout. Match the part number printed on the back of the original key, and the button layout, before ordering. Keys for the same car can differ by trim, market and button count.

Is the FCC ID enough to pick the right key?

No. The FCC ID GQ4-54T is a radio approval that Ram also uses on 56046956, 68159656, 56046954. Those keys can fit other cars or have other buttons, so the part number 68159657AG on the original key is the deciding reference.

What frequency and transponder chip does the 68159657AG key use?

The 68159657AG smart key transmits at 433 MHz and carries a HITAG 2, ID46 transponder inside the housing. No separate chip is needed, but the key must be registered to the car with a diagnostic tool before it unlocks the doors or starts the engine.

How is the Ram 1500 2013-2018 smart key programmed?

The Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 2013-2018 smart key is programmed over the OBD-II port with the dealer system or a locksmith key programmer that covers this model. Check tool coverage before the job. Bring every key the customer keeps.

Is the emergency blade included with the 68159657AG key?

No. The 68159657AG smart key is supplied as the key only, without its emergency insert blade; it takes a Y159 profile blade. Source the blade separately and cut it to the vehicle's key code, by code or by decoding the door lock.

Is this 68159657AG key a genuine Ram part?

Yes. This listing is a genuine factory Ram 68159657AG smart key, supplied new and unprogrammed, without the original dealer box, without the emergency blade. It is programmed to the car over OBD like any new key. Match the part number on the original first.

Which battery does the 68159657AG smart key take?

The 68159657AG smart key runs on a CR2032 coin cell battery, fitted inside the housing. Replace it when the range drops or the dashboard shows a low key battery warning. If the battery is flat, hold the key against the start button to start the car.

IMPORTANT - READ BEFORE ORDERING

RF Hub PIN and Secure Gateway - Ram smart keys are added to the RF Hub over OBD with the 4-digit PIN, which the tool reads or the dealer supplies; on 2018 and later vehicles the Secure Gateway needs a bypass cable or an online unlock first, so check your tool covers this Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 before booking.

Not the 68159656 key - the key with the air suspension button and no remote start; match 68159657AG on the original.

🛠️ Programming instructions

🔌OBD PROGRAMMING - DIAGNOSTIC TOOL REQUIRED

This proximity smart key cannot be learned by hand. It is registered to the car through the OBD-II port with a diagnostic tool.

Compatible tools: the wiTECH dealer system, or a locksmith key programmer whose software lists this model and year.

Add key (spare): connect over OBD (through a Secure Gateway bypass or online unlock on 2018 and later vehicles), read the 4-digit RF Hub PIN, then add the new key.

All keys lost: the RF Hub PIN is read over OBD where the tool covers this platform, then each key is added in the same session.

Blade: cut the Y159 emergency blade, sourced separately, to the vehicle's key code and test it in the driver's door.

Check coverage first: support depends on the tool's software version and the exact model year. Verify the Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 2013-2018 smart key is in the tool's supported list before the job.
