Jeep began using transponder chip keys with the Jeep 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, Jeep started employing keys with the remote constructed in the beak of the key. Most models switched to the new remote head key in the following years.
The keys are pricey of course, but a non-remote key used in their place.
In 2008, Jeep introduced the FOBIK key. Instead of metal blade, a FOB includes a remote that go's into a socket in the ignition lock.
These fob remote are also pricey, however there is a non-remote 'POD' key exist in the market.
Since 2011, Jeep applied the 'Keyless Go'. Some models have optional or mandatory keyless entry device with a pushbutton-start ignition.
The leading purpose of Jeep 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.
Jeep vehicles may have another keys added using a easy control board procedure. Only if the driver have at least two functional keys which are already program.
In 2010 Jeep started rejecting the on board key decoding feature for some vehicles.
If only one key available, the car connected to diagnostic equipment to add a back up 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.
When all keys are lost to a Jeep manufactured earlier than 1998, the key has no chip. All you have to do is to take an Uber to the to a locksmith store with the vehicle ID number and ask to make you a brand-new key.
This procedure is considerably simple and in most cases cost less than a 100$.
One exception to the above is if the ignition cylinder changed and is not match with the vehicle identification number.
In this situation, a locksmith change the ignition again or to make a new key by copying the key channels inside the ignition lock. This process is more convoluted and prescribes a locksmith with a suitable experience and machinery.
If your Jeep manufactured after 1998, your key can contain a transponder chip.
When all keys are lost to an immobilized Jeep, the ECU re-coded to accept a new key. This means that the vehicle towed to the dealership or to use the service of an emergency lock-smith who will come out to your site.
