I bought one for just under $300. It took me about a half hour to install. I have the Rallye model. no issues and no programming. Very happy with the product.

You still have to go to the dealer for programming and only one of the two I bought worked. Save time and hassle and just buy one from the dealer

You can buy the key on axon and get it programmed at the dealership. It will save you over 100 bucks. But there is no way in avoiding dealer programming

It needed to be programed by the car dealer. I have read that a locksmith car do it also for a better price.If you have another remote you have tell them you want to use them both or they will program the new one and make all others no good.

We had to go to a installer of alarms and remote starters for them to program it to my vehicle. They didn't charge me,and it only took them two min.sorry not a better help.

More than likely you will need to take it to a GM dealer. 05 and after require programming in the computer. The dealer quoted me 35 bucks but did it for free

You can actually take it to the Dodge dealership and get it installed. They updated this part as a Factory item, which all the newer Darts come with. It'll cost about $199.99 for the part. It doesn't hurt to try them out.

I took mine to a key shop and they couldn't make it work either...it opens the door and that's about it. I had to bite the bullet and purchase their replacement key for about $65 dollars including programing. Still much cheaper than the dealer. Rick p.s. I did purchase a remote fob from Amazon that I was able to program myself, after about six or eight tries.

You will most likely have to go to the dealership. I had to for a charge of $25.00. They have to hook into the onboard computer to program all the features.

before you order this, make sure you have an exact wiring diagram of the car...there are numerous likely colored wires under the dash that the instructions and additional references they send you do not address. you must know exactly what you're doing..ie: be a professional installer or have done one before. it was way to complicated for my ability (i do my own oil changes, tune ups, radiator/transmission flushes and brakes) so it was returned.

You have to go to the car dealer or a locksmith to have it programmed. The locksmith is usually less expensive.

That's the problem. It needs to be programmed but I managed to get it done at Lowe's. They have the ability to make copies of keys w/ chips so I asked the guy if he can clone my working key to this blank no charge. I told him the key lost its programming. I got if cut elsewhere for $2.before bringing it to Lowe's

You should be able to get it cut and programmed at a dealer for a reasonable price. That's what I did. But if you call around, you can get price quotes from anywhere, and they should confirm if they can program it. the fee should be small. Just make sure that you don't get ripped off when you get there, some places, even dealers, will try and change the price on you.

Call Discount Keyless at 1-800-308-3775. They should be able to tell you whether it is compatible or not. It has the "+" symbol indicating a transponder key. Each car has different computers, different security codes, etc. I bought a transponder key, then had it cut by a locksmith for $2 and I programmed it myself with their directions (you need to have a functioning key to program the new key). It worked fine. It frustrated the locksmith because he wanted to charge $55 for a replacement key. I purchased key fobs as well. They work extremely well. The only downside is the printing on the keys fades quicker than I would anticipate. Call Discount Keyless at 1-800-308-3775. They should be able to tell you whether it is compatible or not.

in my opinion and that's way too much just to program the key, he's probably sore that he's not getting the sale from the key as well. I would check around at a few other dealers and see if anybody will program it for cheaper for you. In my case it was the same dealer, that i leased my vehicle from charged me only 70-80 dollars to have the key programmed I think in total for the key and programming at my local dealer I ended up paying around 128 to 130 and that also included to have the key cut. Just a word of advice that the key isn't cut exactly like it is out on normal key shop they use these jagged edges looks like stairs almost to do a rough outline of your key so it's not the greatest but it does work

I took it to a local dealership and they programmed it free. You cannot program it yourself. I called the dealership before I got it and asked how much. They said no charge!!

Did Not work for me. I guess you can buy it and have the dealer program it. Good luck. Lars
