RECOGNITION & APPLICATION
In 2004, Chrysler introduced keys with the remote built in the head of the key. Most models swithed
to the new remote head key in the years following. The keys are fairly expensive, but there is an
alternate non-remote key available for all the vehicles which use this technology, with the exception
the the early 2004 Durango.
In 2008, Chrysler introduced the FOBIK key which incorporates a remote and fits into a socket which
acts as the igntion lock. These are also fairy expensive, however there is a non-remote "POD" key for
these applications as well.
An exception to the above is the 2-door Stratus and 2-door Sebring. These use Mitsubishi style
locks, and program according to Mitsubishi protocol without the need of a vehicle
specific PIN.
If all keys are lost, a proper transponder key needs to be originated, and the vehicle needs to be
connected to programming equipment together with using the vehicle's PIN code.
We are able to duplicate and originate virtually all Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth and Jeep chip keys.
Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth and Jeep began using transponder chip
keys in 1998. Transponder based systems are standard on some models, and
optional on most others. If your key has a gray or tan colored rubber head, it has a transponder.
DUPLICATION & ORIGINATION
Chrysler, etc. cars may have additional keys added using a simple on-board
procedure, only if the user has two existing keys which are already programmed.
If there is only one key available, the vehicle must be connected to our diagnostic equipment.
A vehicle specific PIN code is needed for the process.
