Default Lost keys - help?!

So i lost my keys.... Can anyone help explain what options i have
update - SOS requires PCM, SKREEM, and your door lock to program new key. 395$ and extra keys are 90$
This is the picture of the key I was sent in the email. Im going to go pick them up and install tonight.
FINAL UPDATE
car is completely back to normal. ECU connectors were not reinstalled correctly

Keys are not available right now.

You could buy the Keys, SKREEM, ignition tumblers and ECM from a junked car. But if you have emissions testing, the VIN won't match anymore and you can't pass emissions tests.

Ask Mercedes and Chrysler. No one really knows, they just aren't.

TRY these guys. They are located in Canby, Oregon. They have helped get Crossfires back on the road again. Maybe, just maybe they could help click SOS

Yes, The dealers can not program locksmith keys, Call SOS and let us know how it goes. Just a suggestion, have two keys made.

The keys will become available as the money to be made from them is too great.
When is the question though.

The availability date has been slipping for about 9 to 12 months now. It just keeps getting pushed farther and farther out as each "yes we can it then date" passes by. IF SOS can help you Monday that would be the best path to pursue.

That's not a scam; It's just not true with Chrysler and the Crossfire. 99% of dealerships no longer have the equipment to communicate with the Crossfire.

To answer your question, NO a key from another Crossfire can not be programmed to work on your car.

Sounds like SOS wont guaruntee that the key will start the engine. Makes sense. Guywas dodging my questions. But apparently they can cut and program a new basic looking key. This sound alright to anyone? 485$ for two keys.

Needswings has a video on removing skreem without removing the steering wheel. May be easier - your call. http://www.needswings.com/skreem-and-antenna-ring
