Default Re: Fob programming for door unlocking

My suspicions are the RFID in each FOB for a specific VIN are identical meaning VIN XYZ has FOB RFID 123 for any FOB mfr'ed for that VIN. If it were not this way then every time a SKREEM was replaced the dealer would have to enter all the possible codes for a FOB's RFID and places like Needswings would not only need the VIN to sell you a key but also WHICH key you are replacing. As far as I know they only need the VIN so that tells me VIN XYZ will have RFID 123 for every FOB associated to that car.

This applies to starting the car only and not the lock/unlock of doors remotely.
I thought I said that the SKREEM was programmed to suit the chip in the fob, so any new key would have a new chip in it programmed to matched the old chip. Remember I did say 'and whatever else has codes in it'.
All this info being kept in a locked vault deep under Mount Chrysler.
I now give up this futile argument, I have always had two keys for my Crossfires and they worked or work perfectly.
