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 established applying keys with the remote assembled in the head of the key. Most models shifted to the new remote head key in the following years.
The keys are more fancy of course, but a non-remote key used in their place.
In 2008, Jeep launched the use the FOBIK key. Instead of metal blade, a FOB integrates a remote that slides into a socket in the ignition lock.
These fobic remote are also more fancy, however there is also a non-remote 'POD' key exist in the market.
Starting at 2011, Jeep adopted the 'Keyless Go'. Some models have optional or mandatory keyless entry with a pushbutton-start ignition.
The prime purpose of Jeep immobiliser and transponder 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 extra keys added employing a simple onboard process. Only if the user have two working keys that are already program.
In 2010 Jeep started excluding the control board key coding feature for some vehicles.
If there is only one key exist, the car plugged to a dedicated programmer to add an extra 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 you lose all your keys to a Jeep made previous to 1998, the key has no chip. All you have to do is to take a cab to the dealer-ship with the vehicle identification number and have them create a fresh key.
This process is quite straight forward and in most cases will cost less than a 100$.
An exception to the above is if the ignition cylinder replaced and is not in sync with the VIN number.
In this case, a locksmith change the ignition again or to generate a new key by reading the key cuts inside the ignition lock. This process is more complex and prescribes a locksmith with a proper machinery and experience.
If your Jeep made after 1998, your key might contain a transponder chip.
If you lose all your keys to an immobilized Jeep, the vehicle ECM recomputed to recognize a new key. This means that you need a towing truck to tow the vehicle to the dealership or to have a roadside assistance lock-smith who will arrive to your site.
