Does anyone know how to program a new key fob/key?
I finally got a key made after losing one of mine two days after buying the truck in January. (My dealership finally got the new machine to make 21 inside laser cut keys)
I've tried instructions I've found online by turning the key to run 8 times ect ect... And it's not working.
Really don't want to pay another $100 for the dealership to program it when I could probably do it myself.

From what I have read, you need two working keys to program a new one. Otherwise, the dealer (or maybe locksmith) needs to do it.

From the owners manual, which is very detailed and really excellent:

With previous years you can program a key using Forscan. I do not know if this works with 2021s.

Well considering I don't have two working keys. This method isn't working for me. Guess it's back to the dealership tomorrow.
