Programming Key fob?

So I just found from a 2004 Dodge Neon SRT4 Keyfob. Its been sitting for a number of years but I am sure I can get a new battery via Autozone or what have you...

So my question is... Can I program this keyfob to my 2005 Dodge truck to use? Without having to take it into the dealer? Just thought I would ask before I fork out the coin for another Fob for the truck...

You need two keys that are/were previously programmed, otherwise you'll have to bring it to a dealer $$$$.

Fairly simple to do if you have the two keys though. Do a google search, any number of references on how to do it.

According to the 2005 Owners manual...

Programming Additional Transmitters
Vehicles with the keyless entry option will be shipped
from the assembly plants with two key fob transmitters
programmed only for that vehicle.Atotal of four fobs can
be programmed for your vehicle. Additional fobs can be
programmed to your vehicle through the use of a currently
programmed fob.
NOTE: When entering program mode using that fob,
ALL currently programmed fobs will be erased and you
will have to reprogram them for your vehicle. However,
if program mode is entered and no action is performed,
the previously programmed fobs will continue to function.
1. Enter your vehicle and close all doors.
2. Fasten your seat belt (fastening the seat belt will cancel
any chiming that may confuse you during this programming
procedure).
3. Place the key into the ignition.
4. Turn the ignition to the ON position ( Do not start the
engine ).
5. Press and hold the UNLOCK button on a programmed
(i.e. functional) key fob.
6. Continue to hold the UNLOCK button, wait at least 4
seconds, but no longer than 10 seconds, then press and
hold the PANIC button.
7. When a single chime is heard, release both buttons.
The chime indicates that the system is in program mode.
8. Press and release both the LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons, simultaneously on the fob to be programmed.
9. A single chime will be heard. The chime indicates that
the fob has been recognized.
10. Within 4 seconds of hearing the chime, press and
release any button on the fob being programmed.
11. A single chime will be heard. The chime indicates
that the fob has been programmed.
12. Repeat steps 8 to 11 for a total of 4 fobs.
13. Turn the ignition to the OFF position or wait 60
seconds to exit program mode.
14. Your vehicle will remain in program mode for up to
60 seconds from when the original chime (i.e. Step #7)
was heard. After 60 seconds, all programmed fobs will
function normally.
NOTE: If you do not have a programmed transmitter,
contact your dealer for details.

This is false. I proved it today with the programming of my replcement Key FOB I bought off eBay to replace one that stopped working when it got wet. Follow the procedures I have listed above and you can program a Key FOB with only 1 working Key FOB.
