My key is black and I don't have keyless entry (I don't even have power locks). I know there's no chip in my key because I can peel the rubber off of the metal key and I have made copies of the key before. What kind of IMO is it? Is it like GM's passkey, where there's no chip in the key because it is activated by resisters in the lock cylinder (or something like that)?

What does IMO mean? Immobilizer?

Here's a pic of my OEM key

 

Interesting.

The information I have found says that 2006+ all had the IMO, but it appears yours doesn't.

 

That's why I didn't buy the bypass module yet. I know there's no chip in the key but the vehicle specific wiring guide on Bulldog Security's website says that there is an Immobilizer (see link below). It says that it has "CHRYSLER'S MULTIPLEX IGNITION/ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM." Anybody know anything about that, like how it works? Is it like GM's passlock2 where it detects the lock cylinders position?

It's a transponder, which it seems you don't have.

 

if you need help looking for these wires let me know and if you dont have door locks then thats less to hook up

vipor is hard to program , you have install that alarm (made by DEI) in order to know what you are doing I install alarms and remoter starters by autopage and there tech support will always help you.DEI tech support wont talk to you if you are not a dealer with them. all alarms do the same thing vipor is just a name that has been around for a long time

 

and yes black no chip only gray keys thats for all dodge and Chrysler and jeep

 

Viper systems aren't difficult to program. They are some of the easiest, even without the hand held programmer.

 

So I shouldn't need the bypass module then? Thanks for the help. I might need assistance along the way but I wont know till I start ripping **** apart.

 

In My Opinion....sometimes....in this thread? idk
