No other locksmith has been able to to anything more than cut a key - which will turn the lock cylinder, but won't start the engine because the locksmiths have no way of programming an RFID chip for the key.
The fobs are used, and the site says the blades can be cut and programmed by a dealer or locksmith to work for my Crossfire.
Again, I don't think they can program an RFID chip without access to the MB/Chrysler database.
What do you believe is the best way to get a key?
Go back in time to when keys were available. Keep in mind that there are a handful (I know of two) cars sitting because the owners lost their key and can't get a new one. One car has been sitting almost a year now.
You can try SOS diagnostics -there is a thread here by them.
