StandardAutoPart Replacement Car Keyless Remote for Ram 1500 2500

In this review of the StandardAutoPart Premium Replacement Car Keyless Entry Remote, the bottom line is practical: it is for Ram owners who need a budget-friendly, direct replacement remote that functions like the original fob. The reviewer found the remote to be a straightforward substitute for Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks without smart proxy systems, delivering reliable button responses and a close fit to factory housings. Note that this is not a DIY-programmable unit and requires an automotive locksmith or dealership to complete programming, which is the single most important consideration before buying.

Key Features

• Wide compatibility: Works with Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 models from 2013 through 2021 that do not have a smart proxy system, making it a direct replacement for many older Ram trucks.
• OEM-style electronics: Uses FCC 56046953AG and related part numbers so it operates the same way as original remotes when programmed by a professional.
• Clear limitations stated: The remote is not compatible with KeylessGO, proximity or push button ignition systems, preventing wasted purchases for owners of those configurations.
• Secure programming requirement: Requires programming by an automotive locksmith or dealership, which preserves vehicle security but means an extra step before use.
• One-year exchange warranty: Includes a one year exchange warranty that offers peace of mind against early failures or fitment problems.

Who It's For

This remote is best for owners of Ram trucks from model years 2013 to 2021 who have the conventional keyless entry setup (no smart proxy or proximity system) and who want a cost-conscious replacement that mimics factory operation. It is particularly useful if an original fob was lost or damaged and a reliable, mechanically compatible key fob is needed.

It is not appropriate for drivers with KeylessGO, proximity, or push-button ignition systems, nor for those seeking a remote they can program themselves at home; plan on a locksmith or dealer visit for activation.
