My dealer said it's too quick for an appointment and it's first come first serve- but to expect a 2 hour wait.

While I can't say this is the end all be all answer, it appears Gen V is going to be a dealer job. I looked it up on www.northcoastkeyless.com and they detail the DIY process for Gen 1-4, but they show there is NO self programming procedure for 2013-2017. IF it can be done, the info doesn't seem easy to find.

Maybe lookup how to steal a Hellcat or Trackhawk. Since FCA is using the same key tech across all their lines and the two models I mention are hot and easy targets for thieves I’m sure there’s a 5 minute DIY procedure once you buy a $100 scan tool to hook to your laptop. I kid but it’s why my Viper and Trackhawk will never see downtown Chicago.

I would call Car Keys Express in your area. They'll come to your house and do it.

Saw this on YouTube on how to program the key yourself with advanced diagnostic smart pro. https://youtu.be/1WWvT8aedHU

I purchased a red key from Ebay, have to take it in to the dealer for programming. They charged me $85 to program it, got the cut for free. But if your not cool with the service folks, thats an additional $15

We use a mobile company to program customer cars off site, you can try one of those companies.

There was no way I was going near a dealer for this...I had a mobile company do it for me as well.

I have a Witech pod (scan tool), it can program a Viper fob. On the other hand, I was at Bulbs & Batteries today, they also program key fobs.
