Replacement key fob
Replacement key fob
Recently purchased a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire and the owner only had one key fob which is in very bad condition. I purchased a key fob on eBay and took it to a TrueValue hardware store and they cut the blade but it will not unlock my door. Is there a chip or a programming necessary for the blade to work? From what I'm hearing I have to purchase a $581 key fob through Chrysler for it to work. Help!!

The fob needs a programmed chip inside the fob to disable the security system and allow the car to start.
To unlock/lock the doors the transmitter in the fob has to be programmed to unlock the doors.
As your key cannot do the even the basic task you have a long way to go.
Your new fob is it just a bare case? I suspect it is.
The current cost cost of a new working fob is $659.95 from NeedsWings.

Re: Replacement key fob
YOu could transplant the RFID chip to the new FOB.
Then use the blade of the key to open the door (if the blade won't do it, the key was not cut right).
Once you get in the car, put the key in the ignition and program the lock/unlock buttons to the car.
(That part is easy, but I don't have the procedure in front of me.)

The key is the easiest part to copy.
The fob needs a programmed chip inside the fob to disable the security system and allow the car to start.
To unlock/lock the doors the transmitter in the fob has to be programmed to unlock the doors.

Re: Replacement key fob
The $7.00 key fobs are empty cases designed only to replace the outer case! You must open them up and transfer the electronics. Takes about 5 minutes to do.
