Step-by-step on-board programming
Unfortunately, the 2019 Freightliner M2 106 does not have an on-board programming procedure for new key fobs. This is because the key fob system is integrated with the truck's Body Control Module (BCM). To program a new key fob, specialized diagnostic equipment is required to communicate with the BCM and register the new fob. This means you will need to see a Freightliner dealer or a qualified automotive locksmith.
Battery replacement
Replacing the battery in your key fob is a simple process you can do yourself.
- Open the case: Look for a small slot on the side of the key fob. Use a small flathead screwdriver or coin to gently pry the two halves of the fob apart.
- Remove the old battery: The battery is a CR2032 coin cell. Note the orientation of the positive (+) and negative (-) sides.
- Insert the new battery: Slide the new CR2032 battery into place, making sure the positive side is facing the same way as the old battery.
- Snap the case together: Align the two halves of the fob and press them firmly together until they click shut.
Where to buy a replacement fob
- Freightliner Dealer: The most expensive option, but you are guaranteed to get a genuine OEM fob that is compatible with your truck. Expect to pay in the range of $150-$250 for the fob and programming.
- Automotive Locksmith: A locksmith can often provide and program a new fob for less than the dealer. They may have OEM or high-quality aftermarket fobs. Expect to pay $100-$200.
- Amazon/eBay: The cheapest option, with fobs available for as little as $20. However, the quality can be inconsistent, and you still need to have the fob programmed by a dealer or locksmith. Be sure to match the FCC ID (2AOKM-FT2) to ensure compatibility.
If on-board programming isn't supported
As mentioned, the 2019 Freightliner M2 106 requires a scan tool for programming. This is because the key fob is part of the vehicle's immobilizer system. The immobilizer is a security feature that prevents the engine from starting unless a programmed key is present. The scan tool is used to put the BCM into a "learn" mode, which allows it to recognize and store the code of the new key fob. This process also deactivates any lost or stolen fobs, so you can be sure that only your fobs will be able to start your truck.
