I took to a Chrysler dealership and they didn't even have the right software to connect to my car. Storyy short, they sent it to a Mercedes Benz dealership. I was able to swap out my old skreem and put the new skreem. They were able to connect to my car and it was throwing error about "Mobilizer ring" (the technician said that it is the key ring). They tried to program it and they couldn't enter the vin (because their computer couldnt let them do it). I had to tow it to another dealership that unfortunately after 4 days they are just finding out that the card they had for the crossfire is bad.
So where should i take this car to be programmed (been two different chrysler dealership here in des moines)?? Is their any special thing the benz people can do to program it?
Please help! My crossfire has been dead for a month now.
There are companies that take your SKREEM unit and reprogram them using your VIN and key codes on record then return it to you in the mail.
It is possible that the electronics inside it are NFG and you will require a new or used one programmed for your car. You can buy the SKREEM unit on eBay for less that $40 and as long as it is not ruined it will work after reprogramming. The programming company may have a replacement if yours is cooked. The unit is like the key programming, it can only be done by certain bonded companies for the sake of security. Otherwise you get a programmed unit using a VIN of a car you want to steel and away you go. The unit stores the key codes that work.
I think that is the way it works if you cannot get any action with the battery disconnect trick.
