yay for not having a chipped key period. I have about 10 keys layin around cuz I'll make spares and then forget where I put them! lol

 

good idea. where did you hide it?

yup, no chip FTW! saved $ on the remote start too. I got the two keys, two original fobs, and two fobs for my remote start that also opens the door. Most places I go have a spare key/fob that'll open my truck if I have a brain fart.

 

mxzrevman your truck looks badass, Love the blue cab lights, and Im not usually a fan of cab lights.

 

Yeah, my $1 key that will basically only get me in the Jeep is in my wallet, I'm never without it. Even though I have two full fobs/chipped keys for the truck, I should go have a $1 "get in the door" key made for it also.
I've got to goto Home Depot for pine today, building an xmas gift a couple special somebodies, and have to drive right by that Ace Hardware. I'll get the lowdown on their ability to make a new chipped key/fob with me only having one.
Like I said, I ain't disputing 'dog, but I made it clear to the key guy that I only had one and thought $60 was a great price considering what the dealer gets.
So we'll see this morning...

 

UPDATE: I stopped by Ace, actually needed to, because stupid Home Depot nor Lowes carry decorative spindle legs that are long enough for my next project unless you want pressure treated! Stupid, can't get a 36" spindles unless it's filled with all kinds of toxic sh*t!

Anyway, I had the Yeep key with me, and again this 19 year old, freckle faced girl plugged it into the fancy little black box hooked up to a computer and it went "green-green-green" so she says she can copy the chip to one of their Chrysler blanks - with only the one key of mine.
I ain't got the extra $60 with Xmas coming up, but intend to let them copy it after the holidays...

 

That's cool. I buy the non-remote chipped keys from a guy on eBay and the Walmart where the wife works, cuts them for free. This way I can drive with my spare for under $30.

 

how do you know if you have chipped keys ? is it a lil chip where the metal key part meets the plastic "handle part"? i dont think i have chipped keys but....waiting for answers...i was gonna order one off ebay and have it cut i need and extra maybe 2 and i was looking for a new set of fob's wanna exta set here soon before i well i dont wanna jinx myself....

 

I know my '07 does because the chip went bad and it wouldn't stay running. Fortunately, it was still under warranty, so i didn't have to pay for it, but dealer would have charged $250.

well i got the $25 key...no remote, just the key
and had it cut and programed for $45
so $70 is better than $200+

i tried to call the local ace stores they dont do any programing


note to self....go out and make another spare now

FYI.... not sure if everyone knows, but if you have 2 keys,
you can program a 3rd yourself, its in the manual....thanks for the tip dirtydog
