From what I'm hearing I have to purchase a $581 key fob through Chrysler for it to work. Help!!
The key is the easiest part to copy.
The fob needs a programmed chip inside the fob to disable the security system and allow the car to start.
To unlock/lock the doors the transmitter in the fob has to be programmed to unlock the doors.
As your key cannot do the even the basic task you have a long way to go.
Your new fob is it just a bare case? I suspect it is.
The current cost cost of a new working fob is $659.95 from NeedsWings.
