Digital Key Activation

Speaking of TSBs, that did not get my key active and I got told there was another one. That statement went true about there being a second TSB. I’m 90% sure it’s just waiting for ram ti release the OTA update to get it working. I think it’s software locked in Uconnect which is why regardless of what ur key modules firmware is, the tile won’t show up to do it on ur phone
 
What's the magic step to get the key icon to show in the app?
I've logged out & back in?
You will need to email Patrick at Stellantis with your VIN and your request for the digital key tile on the RAM app. You can find his email a few pages back.

Dealer confirmed TSB was implemented correctly, even after brining it back for mileage flashing. Emailed Briana and got this from her to provide to the dealership. Need to make a third appointment now.

i received another update on friday, it failed to install though. i been going out to the truck every few hours turning it on rebooting unplugging battery etc trying to get it to trigger another update chance that way i can find out if it was a fluke or if i need yet another dealer visit to get something manually updated. problem is idk what this update was even for to even tell the dealer update x keeps failing? i received update r5t last week and now this one that fails... i also had the tsb 08-340 performed already too which i thought was supposed to be the fix for failed to install updates :(
 
For those of us with 25s that do have the key working was it in over the air update or the TSB that got it working?
Curious as well. I see 26’ owners trying to get the key to work meanwhile my 25’ still hasn’t asked to pair a digital key lolz.
 
Received an update last night, after my app showed the ventilation option but no key. Any idea how many more updates are needed before seeing the key option?

Delete your app and re-install
 
I finally got the Digital Key option in my Ram app, however when I try to complete the registration it never connects. Poor execution Stlantis, just poor.

If anyone knows what to try let me know.
 
EDIT 10/14/25, 11:30 AM EST: Cut off to receive messages is NOON EST. Thank you all who have already sent in your VINs! Please see our most recent message in the thread for more details.

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.

So, explain how '26 owners are getting the digital key, but my early-year '25 hasn't seen sh*t? Patrick Brady replied a month ago verifying my VIN would be moved forward. 2 weeks ago, he asked if I received any updates and told him "no". He said "I will check on your VIN again and let you know what I find out.
I appreciate your patience."

Nothing since.

I feel you with this. I had the same email from Patrick the other day. Just got another one from a Damon Weaver. He said it’s rolling out in batches. I literally just received my update last night. Works flawlessly with my Apple Watch and iPhone. My truck is a Dec. 2025 build.

From memory, it doesn't ask. When the truck has the necessary firmware, you'll just get an extra tile in your Ram app. To see that tile you have to you have to scroll the top tile list to the right, it will be the last one to the right of digital glovebox.

Does it do the deal where you get to the apple step, set your phone on the charging pad and it just says "connecting..." forever?

You should get an OTA on your Uconnect. Then once installed, you delete your ram app and then download and log back in. So I think youre just waiting for the update. It pops up when you turn off your truck. You can just get out and leave the truck unlocked for about an hour. Should update in its own. You dont need wifi, it uses the trucks connection

Same here. TSB applied. The SPAAK file process required about 6 module updates, then the tile finally showed up. All in all, took about 4 hrs with a battery tender and I waited for it.

It does. Connecting bar never moves even after several minutes
