Any place I can get new keys for any less that the what dealerships charge?

Thanks!

 

Do you need the car to start your car?

The keys are programmed via VIN#... so if you need them to start it, no. If you just need them to unlock/lock the doors/trunk, I believe you can buy any key fob and program it.

 

Well I only have one key now and would like another that starts it as well incase I lose the one I have now. Just checking to see if there was any deals out there.

 

just paid 140 for mine. it sucks but what can u do!

 

I bought an extra one on ebay for $35. I just have to get it cut.

This is straight from the Crossfire manuals supplied to the dealership, or if you are a Chrysler tech.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING

The Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter(s) can be programmed by the customer without special tools.
PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

Transmitter programming by the customer is done by performing the following steps:

1. Insert the key into the ignition switch.
2. Press either the lock or unlock button momentarily twice.

Turn the key in the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position within 30 seconds.

Hope this is useful and saves you $100.

Haven't had my key cut so I don't know if it works yet.

 

Godd luck getting it cut, and getting it to start your car. That programming procedeure is only for the locks.
Buran buy the key, and I will program it.

 

Being that I haven't cut it yet, what your telling me is the forum member that posted this this information gave out the wrong information? I got this info on how to program it from YOU. You posted this on 08-06-2007. Here's the link;

Borican, I think this thread might help you a bit more.

To summarize for you:

• An ebay fob will never start your car.
• An ebay fob may not be able to be programmed to open your cars locks remotely

I don't know about getting the physical key cut.

The thread Shawnkey wrote, is for programming keys that you bought from the dealer. Some dealers charged unsuspecting owners to program the key. Shawnkey's thread shows how to avoid that charge by doing it yourself.

 

Can be programmed to open and close doors but each key has to match your cars vin to start it. My key came and was told it needed to be programmed to use keyless entry. Laughed at the tech and said it can be done at the car for free to which he replied that he'd buy me lunch if i could do it. Best tasting olive garden ever.

 

Captn, was that an ebay fob or one purchased through the dealer?

 

I got mine spare from the dealer last year, only around $65.

 

dealer! supposedely prices have gone up from last year. Must be the price of crude

 

if you still have your old keys, you can swap in the transmitter chip and blade in the new ebay fob, there is a very thorough thread with pictures in the DIY section, just do a search. but this is only if you have a worn out key.

 

I have a 2004 Crossfire and I replaced the battery and now my radio looks like its working but I have no sound. I have tried the pushing the open buttons 2 times and waiting for 30 seconds but I still have no sound. I have called my dealership and they are not the smartest people on the face of the earth. They told me to buy a new key. What am I doing wrong?

 

Detro, I'm not sure what you're talking about. The Crossfire doesn't make any sound when locking or unlocking the doors. If yours did beep when unlocking/locking, that was an aftermarket add-on, and it's no wonder the dealer wouldn't know anything about it.

 

Sorry Tom, I didn't explain myself very well. When I push the open button 2 times and wait for 30 seconds I get no sound from my radio. The radio has power and it shows the name of the song and it looks like its working but I get no sound out of the speakers. I thought there might be a fuse that blew or a code you had to program into the radio but I can't find anything in my manual and the dealership has no clue.

 

Detro63, does the volume numbers go up and down when you crank the volume ****? I cant picture there being any inline fuese for the speakers. Could be on the radio output circuit but dont know why they would. Once you have power the key is out of the picture.

Wow! That is a mystery. Sorry, but I don't have a clue either. Those two systems should be totally unrelated.

It wuoldn't hurt to check all of your fuses. The fuse box is under the hood, right in front of the driver, up against the firewall. Check each fuse for continuity with a multimeter, as a visual check can be misleading. There should also be a fuse built into the head unit, but that's a lot harder to get to.

Wait a sec... if the radio appears to be working (displays numbers and such, feeds and ejects discs) but you're just not getting any sound, it is probably not a problem with the head unit, it is probably with the amplifier! Check the connections to the amp - they might have come off. And check the fuse on the amp. The amp is beneath the carpet (and a panel) where your passenger's feet would be if they extended their legs all the way.
