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 launched accepting keys with the remote clicker originated in the apex of the key. Most models switched to the new remote head key in the following years.
The keys are more expensive of course, but a non-remote key used instead.
In 2008, Jeep launched the use the FOBIK key. Instead of metal blade, a FOB encompasses a remote that fits into a socket in the ignition lock.
These remote fob are also more expensive, but there is a non-remote 'POD' key for these system as well.
Since 2011, Jeep implemented the 'Keyless Go'. Some models have optional or mandatory proximity key with a pushbutton-start ignition.
The head goal 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 surplus keys added employing a smooth dash-board console process. Only if the owner have at least two functional keys which are already program.
In 2010 Jeep began dismissing the dashboard key coding feature for some vehicles.
If only one key exist, the car connected to diagnostic equipment to add a spare 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 built before 1998, the key has no chip. All you need to do is to go to the to a locksmith store with the VIN number and have them create a new key.
This process is quite simple and in most cases will cost less than a 100$.
An exception to what written above is if the ignition cylinder changed and is not match with the VIN number.
In this situation, a locksmith swap the ignition again or to generate a new key by reading the key curves inside the ignition cylinder. This process is more compound and requires a locksmith with a proper experience and machinery.
If your Jeep built after the year 1998, your key might contain a transponder chip.
If you lose all your keys to an immobilized Jeep, the auto main computer reprogrammed 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 way-side assistance lock-smith who will come out to your site.
