Ram Digital Key unlocking and starting a RAM 1500 with a compatible phone

How the Ram Digital Key Works

The Digital Key replaces the job of the key fob with your phone. With it enabled, you can unlock and start the truck from the phone without digging it out. You can also send the key to another device, which lets you hand access to a family member or coworker while still managing who is allowed to use it.

Setting It Up

The Digital Key is set up through Ram Connect and the Ram App on a compatible device, and terms and conditions apply. Phone compatibility depends on your specific device, so it is worth confirming yours is supported before counting on it.

What to Keep in Mind

The Digital Key is a convenience layered on top of the truck rather than a replacement for the key fob. It depends on a compatible phone that is charged and on hand, so a dead battery or a phone left at home is the one case to plan for, which is why it is worth keeping the fob with you. None of this changes what the truck can do; it is the difference between relying on the phone alone and having a backup.

Which RAM Trucks Offer It

The Ram Digital Key is available on the RAM 1500, offered on upper trims such as the Rebel, Laramie, Limited, Tungsten, and RHO. It is an option rather than standard equipment, so it is configured on specific builds and tied to the connected-services setup. Which trucks on our lot are equipped for it changes as inventory turns over, so the cleanest way to find one is to browse current availability.
