Dodge began using transponder chip keys with the Dodge Sebring 1998. Transponder based mechanism are mandatry or optional depends on model and year.
Usually, if your key has a gray colored rubber head, it has a transponder.
In 2004, Dodge launched accepting keys with the remote clicker founded in the cap of the key. Most models shifted to the new remote head key in the years following.
The keys are more fancy of course, but a non-remote key used alternately.
In 2008, Dodge launched the use the FOBIK key. Instead of metal blade, a FOB includes a remote that fits into a socket in the ignition lock.
These fobik key are also more fancy, but there is also a non-remote 'POD' key for these system as well.
Beginning at 2011, Dodge implemented the 'Keyless Go'. Some models have optional or mandatory key-less entry with a pushbutton-start ignition.
A preeminent goal of Dodge transponder and immobiliser is to prevent unauthorized vehicle access and theft. The remote clicker option also provide extra convenience and security.
When you insert a SKIM key into the ignition, the SKIS sends out an RF signal to the transponder in the key. If the key recognize the vehicle, it sends a unique message back to the computer with its unique code. The SKIS confirm that the key authorised to start this particular vehicle. If the key is not programmed for the vehicle, it will shut down after two seconds of running.
Note - The 2-door Stratus and 2-door Sebring 2000-2001 use Mitsubishi style locks. The following duplication methods will not work with those vehicles.
Dodge vehicles may have supplementary keys added employing a efficient control panel process. Only if the owner have not less than two valid keys that are already decoded.
In 2010 Dodge began eliminating the dash-board console key computing feature for some vehicles.
If there is only one key available, the motor vehicle connected to diagnostic equipment to add a supplementary key.
If you only left with 1 functional key, the on-board process will not work! A locksmith or the dealer can still copy your key using the VIN number and a proof of ownership. This done using dedicated diagnostics and programming tools.
One more option the dealer and the locksmith have is to copy and clone the key-data into a new cut blank. This also done using dedicated diagnostics tools and programmers.
If a driver lose all the keys to a Dodge built earlier than 1998, the key has no transponder chip. All you need to do is to go to the to a locksmith store with the VIN number and have them make you a fresh key.
This process is considerably simple and in most cases cost no more than a 100$.
One exception to the above is if the ignition swapped and is not in sync with the VIN.
In this case, a locksmith displace the ignition again or to generate a new key by copying the key channels inside the ignition cylinder. This process is more composite and demands a locksmith with a proper machinery and experience.
If your Dodge built after 1998, your key may contain a transponder chip.
If a driver lose all the keys to an immobilized Dodge, the motor vehicle computer module recomputed to accept a new key. This means that you need a towing truck to tow the car to the dealer-ship or to call a wayside assistance lock smith who will come out to your site.
