Does anyone know if it's possible to just remove and bypass the immobilizer unit? That way you'd only need a cut key. The cars are too old to be worth stealing.

With my Skreemulator it would be possible. It would be also be possible to install a start button or a keyless entry system.

Guess I could take the chip out of the fob and attach it to the module, so it would always be close and it wouldn't get lost.

Or just order a spare key from SOS Diagnostics?

No , you have to attach it to the ring antenna, that would work.

What are my options to get a replacement key?

I spoke with SOS they said I'd have to send my one functional bing key and they will make duplicates ($260 for the first one and any additional cop $150).

​​​​​Is that the best deal out there atm?
thanks for the input guys!

IF the key functions as an OEM key with all its available operations, I believe this is the lowest price I have seen for a fully functioning key (ask them if it resembles the OEM keys and functions as an original OEM key to be sure). Members, please chime in for updates if this information is incorrect.

They work great and look exactly like the OEM keys minus the Crossfire logo.

You mentioned the SOS Solution several times as have a few other members.

Have you received a replacement FOB from SOS? If so, could you or another memeber who has used them please post a few images. I have never seen one and would like to know for comparison purposes.


I've posted that the keys are also available from Chrysler (They are exactly like the originals) but the price point may preclude this as a viable option for many.

I think that there are many members that would opt for this as it appears to be less expensive.

A few photos may move several off the fence and into the buy column

Thank you

Thank you onehundred80, I meant the Chrysler logo. I took one off of an old case I had and glued it to the new one. The key I bought from SOS , I gave to one of my Grandsons with the my coupe. I don't have it here to photograph. It was OEM Quality though and worked without syncronizing. It took about 8 days to get because of shipping time. I was to cheap to pay for next day. If I recall they are only open Mon, through Thursday.

Hey Hey roger that about your grandson. He must think you’re awesome. I sure would.

Most Grandsons with cars have cell phones and all of those phones have cameras. I don’t suppose you could text him and ask him to snap an image of front and back for his favourite grandpa

or any other forum member if you’ve used SOS and purchased a key fob, Please post images.

The keys and everything else had the after market Crossfire stickers on when I got this car and I took them all off.

at a cost of around $600.00 dollars.

Never go to a dealer, The Mercedese Swap Shop or Needswings.

Go to the "NeedsWings" website. I had them refurbish a key as well as supply a duplicate. Quick turnaround and a couple of hundred cheaper than CHrysler ( who by the way has been promising keys for the last two years).

Didn't know at the time. Another member sent me to Needswings and they did a great job for me.
