Default Re: Most cost efficient way to get replacement key fob

and the wait time is months

I got one last year, I waited 16 months

the only upside is that you get to keep driving your car while you wait
(but don’t lose the key while you’re waiting).

Best option
in the event you decide to procure one from Needswings or another forum member consider getting two new fobs..

What’s the condition of the existing fob?
I mean it's in working condition but just doesn't look nice. Let's scratched up, Chrysler Logo missing, small crack and also alarm button is gone.

Here is the thing...when I bought this car, I bought a brand new in programmed key fob and just switched the chip, cut key and transponder from the old key to the key I use now.
I would do that again but I'm afraid I'll damage the chip etc because I made sure to super glue it into the key I'm using now. Do you think there is a way to swap the insides even though I used a lot of super glue to tie everything down many years ago?
