Fobik key or combo key with remote conversion/swap in 2005

I have been looking around and have not found anyone who has done this swap. The question is the compatibility of swapping an ignition key and ignition from a newer ram into a 2005 ram. My 2005 2500 4x4 has the fob separate from the key. Having a separate remote from the key is an inconvenience to me and I would like to install a system that has the remote and key in one unit. I looked into the aftermarket system that is the push button start, but I have the diesel which would need a delay, and the "key" they provide is huge. (not much of a convenience).

I have a 2013 ram with the Fobik and really love it!

Is it possible to remove the ignition switch and Fobik or the key combo and switch from a 2006 into my 2005?

Thank you,
Keith

I agree 100% i looked into using the 06-08 key my my 05 so that the unlock and key where on the same entity, the basic shape is the shape but i was told by a tech at the dealer ship it wouldnt work because how they code the keys, to me it sounds like a crap excuse but i wasnt gunna argue :LOL:
