Does anyone know the part number of the "flat key"?

That's the small key (no fob) that can be used to physically unlock your doors and start the car.

I asked at my local dealership about one, and they couldn't find one available from Chrysler, just the ordinary fob.

 

the question is who is gonna cut it? don't know very many lock smiths with key mill

 

These have been on Ebay, rather cheap too ! Either the complete fob, or just the key part itself . . .

 

Sorry fellas, I think you misunderstand. I'm not talking about just a metal key blank. As we know, they are laser cut and VIN related, and generally a pain in the rear.

I mean the Chrysler part number to order a flat key for our cars - just like you order a new fob from a dealer. I read somewhere in the forums that someone had a flat key, but I couldn't find any part numbers listed.

 

again,,, who is going to cut your emergency key for you? there is no chrysler part number it's a mercedes only part.

 

Max, you're not listening. This is NOT a key that you cut yourself. It is NOT a blank. It is pre-cut from the same place that send the fobs, and it includes a transponder (not a transmitter - as in remote). It is a Chrysler part number, and you would order it the same way you would order a new fob, just different part number.

 

I don't think that such a key exists, although I have also seen references to a flat key on the forum. If it does I, want the part number also. Using the search, I have found information from a guy that took the key and transponder out of a fob, and then glued the transponder to the key. So, he made his own 'flat' key, although it isn't really flat. Here's a link to the pic:

I checked with a Mercedes dealer once and they said a flat key is available for the SLK. So, I don't see why one couldn't be made for a Crossfire. However, you need the key laser cut and transponder (not transmitter) programmed for the VIN. That's the problem. The Mercedes guy said he might be able to get a flat key to open the door, but without transponder??? So, you couldn't start the car. But, he really didn’t know. My Chrysler dealer just said it can’t be done.

 

it doesn't exhist, but you can get a mercedes emergency key for opening doors

 

It is stated correctly above. There is No key that can start this car without the key fob This is why your car sits rather safely in bad neiborhoods. BUT I HAVE A FLAT KEY THAT OPENS MY DOORS ONLY IT WILL NOT START THE CAR UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES. I MADE IT FROM A STANDARD FOBBED KEY. The key fob is where the radio frequency originates to close the security circut.
So if you want to have a "walletable" ket that can open your doors grab a fobbed key and grinder and have at it.

As I indicated in the previous post with the link, I appears that it is possible to make your own 'flat' key. A forum member (Shade) did just that. You don't have to grind the key off the fob. You just remove the pin holding the key to the fob. Then shade actually removed the transponder chip from the fob and glued it to the top of the key. It is the little dark thing that looks like a small bead. The key and transponder together start the car. The remainder of the fob (the transmitter) just lock/unlocks the doors remotely, and sets the security system.

 

actually you can make it work, I there is a small chip in the fob that is easily removed. now you will have to mill out your key, so that you can inlay the chip in the flat key itself then glut it in there..

do a search in the DIY section under key fob rebuild and it will show a picture of the chip you need to take out.
