Regardless of how he does it, trying it can't hurt. Another member on the Chrysler Crossfire facebook group had a similar issue where the key wouldn't unlock at all even while used in the door. After I had her reprogram the key, it worked flawlessly. This might help him out lol

EDIT: btw ala, been considering upgrading my 5 sided T10 eyebrow LEDs to what you have in right now(the 25watt ones). Yay, nay? Do you have any pics of them by any chance?
