Digital Key Activation

Very cool.

Any update on when this will be available for 2026 MY’s?
 
As promised, we are here with some news about the impending launch of the Digital Key to our model year 2025 Ram trucks. The next phase of deployment is a software launch to a small subset of customers and will continue from there in small increments to ensure there are no issues before/during/after deployment.

Since we know this is a highly anticipated feature launch, and we also know none of you here are shy about letting us know if any issue arises, we would like to include forum members in this initial deployment so you can be some of the first access the feature.

If you own a 2025 model and would like to ensure you are part of the first wave, which we anticipate to be deployed by the end of next week (timing subject to change at any time for any reason), all we ask is that you send a private message with the same title as this post, Digital Key Activation, and include your VIN. No additional info needed. Due to the anticipated volume, this will help us keep track of everyone. Please don't expect any additional follow up via that private message besides a 👍to confirm we received your PM.

Our intent is to use this thread to continue posting all additional updates as we receive them. Again, we expect this to be a relatively slow roll out to ensure the best customer experience.

We will be able to accept PMs for VINs until 10/14/25.

After 10/14/25, any VINs received may not be able to be included in the first wave. We do not yet have information on timing for the additional waves.

Thank you all for your support of Ram Cares on the forum so far, and we look forward to a smooth rollout! As with any software-based update, we at Ram Cares will take any feedback you have to provide once the update is received and dispense it back to the software engineers.

EDITED TO ADD: If your vehicle is not already equipped with the initial capability, it cannot be added. We will do a check on VINs as we receive them for the necessary sales code and in the instance your VIN does not have the sales code we will then let you know.

No update on this one just yet -- I can share that we do not expect it to be this calendar year. But as always, subject to change.

I know this is out of your control but there really needs to be some communication to the dealers on this, many are selling the trucks and telling everyone that the feature is available.

Why is that, though? All the electronics and what not for the system are identical between the 25 and 26 MY’s, so why the huge delay in the roll out between the two?
 
i cant wait to not carry keys with me lol

I got the new update and it says pair through NFC after hitting the digital key tile on the Ram app. There is no digital key tile on the Ram app. What am I missing?
 
So I called Connected Services. They said that the "Digital key tile" for the Ram app is not active yet (no tile on the app). When the digital key officially launches, the app will update and the digital key tile will be on it and you can pair with your compatible phone by following the instructions on the Uconnect screen. WE SHALL SEE.
 
PM sent! Been waiting for this one!!!
 
Curren situation… maybe because my free trial lapsed and I’m too cheap to subscribe to an app with such limited useful functionality?

Would you expect to see this update as new tiles on this screen?
