You can switch everything out from a scrap crossfire and it should work however if you live in a state with smog or safety checks the wrong vin. (from the scrap car) would be read when hooked up to the reader.

 

right. i read something about this at a post from pizzaguy.
so it depends where you live.
but this means that there are places where it can solve the problem. and in canada, even if it wouldnt pass the test, you can drive it as long as you dont want to sell it, so why not?

 

You bought these blind, I hope someday you can pass this along to someone who can actually install/program the set into a car. You cannot use the keys with any car UNLESS you have thousands of dollar of programming equipment for the MB/Chy hybrid you own. You should have studied the many posts in the forum before you paid this seller. Good luck, maybe you have the secret programming setup everyone is looking for? The best you have right now (given the site expertise so far), is two keys that you can program TO OPEN/LOCK THE DOORS &SET OFF THE ALARM.

" Anyone that needs a SKREEM I can clone your data to a donor that works. Plug and play for $300.
I’m still searching for why they fail but cloning is by far the cheapest/easiest at the moment."


how this applies to our quest?
1-could any1 with expertise elaborate, like telling what exactly we need to send to him, and

2-hear from whoever has done this, what results he got?
in other words, who got his work done and how is it doing?
thanks

 

i asked him what we need to send. lets see what he tells.
but still is interesting to hear from those who have had this done.

 

EASY PEASEY! THE MDP SKREEM REPAIR WORKS! PLUG AND PLAY!

We got the SKREEM installed and she fired right up! Keys work as they should. Everything seems to be in order. It looks like MDP has the solution. We plugged in the MB software and no codes.

This was late this afternoon. The delivery from MDP was one day turnaround plus the normal postal wait. Brian even called the shop to see the parts arrived. First rate service and a real solution.

Didn't have the time to drive it much, so another report tomorrow, but I would say THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED! If you have a non-op SKREEM problem it looks like Brian and MDP can fix it! Needless to say I'm ecstatic. I'm putting in a new battery just to be on the safe side, so when I've gotten time to drive it, I'll report more - but it appears THIS WORKS!

 

Great news !!!!
Would you now post the complete process required to get a SKREEM repaired/replaced in a new thread so the admins can sticky it
and onehundred80 can add it to the documentation.???
Thanks

 

Thank you sir for your efforts follow through and update. Now if we could only have someone figure out how tp program chips for our keys we could tell Chrysler to take a hike and support MDP in their business. WELL DONE !!!

 

MDP seems to have the answer for this snafu. Their support email is up on their website along with their request for service form. Be smart and sign it - I forgot to and there was a back and forth that was my fault - not theirs. They need the Skreem module, ECM and all the keys. Also the documentation to prove ownership. When it arrives just plug it back together and it should work. I'll post more when I have a chance to drive it around, but it worked fine at the shop and I expect this is the solution. MDP obviously cares about solving this and will give you any help you need to see it does. The shop where it is now works on MB and other cars and their MB scanner plugged in to the OBD port, and showed no codes when scanned. All lights and doors working as they should. Nothing to do with the keys - they are ready to go. I think the cautions I've read on the Forum about disconnecting the battery for the install, and having a good battery are worth following. I' m putting in a new Interstate battery just to be sure.

I have nothing to do with MDP and wouldn't understand what they did to it (which they won't do.) Anyone needing this service should just contact MDP via they support line and follow their requests for documentation which you can include with the parts when you send them to them.

Important to note: FCA (Chrysler now) did absolutely nothing to help us find a solution, and dealers couldn't care less about our plight. Probably they don't have the MB software to monitor codes, and of course MB won't help with any of this. If/when Chrysler ever comes up with some new modules it may be prudent to buy one and have MDP look at them to see they work for the specific car - I don't know anything about that. But if you have a non-op SKREEM module or the symptoms we all know about - this appears to be the solution to use, and will probably be less expensive than getting the SKREEM from Chrysler anyway. Screw these companies - they left us sitting and their inattention to our predicament was evident and threatened our ability to ever use the cars.
