@ AnthonyRI: Updates on Phone-as-Key?

[RADA]

Hi Anthony,

Any news on the Phone as Key app for Apple/Android?

Is the credit card key still a thing?

All the new West Coast truck influencers on YT keep showing off the red performance vehicle key. Some mention the app, but nothing about the credit card key.


Thanks!

Not to speak on Anthony's behalf, but with first hand knowledge I can verify that the credit card key comes with the truck and works to open the door and start the truck. The only red performance key I have is for my Challenger Hellcat, although both key fobs for the RHO are red.

Crazy...I was literally just reading about this stuff on another forum. Seems like the Credit Card key is being placed in the center console and most dealerships didn't even know about it. The users were all saying that that key worked from the get go but that the Ram App still wasn't enabled.

As far as I know the APP is still not activated, but the cards do work.

Key app via phone is coming in 2025. Still working on it. Key fob and card are good to go.

It really only comes into play, IMO, once you have the phone app.
Then, if you are using your phone day to day as key, keeping card in wallet....
When you go to valet your car you give them your card...not your phone.
When you go to carwash or mechanic, again, your card not your phone.

Good to know. Have you heard anymore timing on when the phone as a key will end up working on the RHO?
