Will this work if the Rivian R1T has an aftermarket alarm?

Appreciate any advice—my Rivian R1T won’t recognize the key.

My Rivian R1T is basically useless until I get this code. Fingers crossed.

Key Tip: Replace key fob batteries every 1-2 years as preventative maintenance
Lost Keys
1) Contact a locksmith who specializes in automotive keys or your dealership 2) Provide proof of ownership (registration, title, ID) 3) They'll either cut new keys by code or reprogram your car's system 4) This is expensive ($200-$800) as the immobilizer may need resetting.
Key Tip: Consider key insurance for expensive smart keys
Key Programming
Professional key programming requires: diagnostic tools to access the immobilizer system, key code software, transponder programmers, and often proprietary manufacturer equipment. Some locksmiths and all dealers have these tools.
Lost Keys
Locksmiths or dealers can: 1) Decode your door or ignition lock to determine key cuts 2) Access your car's key code through manufacturer databases (with proof of ownership) 3) Program new transponder keys using diagnostic equipment.
Key Tip: Avoid exposing key fobs to water or extreme temperatures
Key Fact: Some luxury car keys can cost $800+ to replace at dealerships
