Chrysler told me that if the electonic start does not work, you can use the metal key in the fob to manually start the T&amp;C. How is the key cut to work

The metal key is only used to unlock the doors,it can not start the vehicle,now if you have the remote start feature on the fob and that does not work that may be due to faulty fob or program issue with WIN module

Do get any off market key from here, I bought one, they cannot sync the fob to my car, had to go to dealer, however, the material of the key is not decent, they cannot cut it to fit my car, and cannot sync the fob with my car either.

I no longer need to use my key fob for anything. It opens the trunk, car doors and starts it. When you pre start ,you just have to insert your key when you get in. otherwise it shuts off automatically.

I bought the key & the panasonic 2020 battery to make my key work, nut the battery did not work! There seems to be be some soldering involved with getting the battery to work so I still don't have the battery working. Once the battery works, you can take the key & cut it and then transfer the electronic parts to the new key & hope that it all works. I haven't had the time to play with the battery yet to try the key!

No you can't. The key with the new fob has to be notched or shaped by a dealer. Most will do it for free... it's in their best interest to do so. Just transfer the two chips and you just saved yourself $160.

Interesting, let me double check with an engineer that works on the Keyless system for Chrysler. Just in case VW requested a unique protocol or feature. I will see him tonight, so hold off ordering until you hear back from me.Regards

I tried and tried to get mine to work. Never did. Turns out my car is not wired to be able to have a key fob. Check to make sure your car has the correct set up to accept a key fob.

I don't know how the key is cut to work - but I do know that the key works - we've had to use it. I assume that at least with the original key fob for the vehicle that the key is cut for the vehicle at the factory.

I would call the dealer and ask. I had my key cut at a locksmith but they could not program it so they gave me a # to someone who would come to me. Still saved $20 getting the dealer to program it, plus if it ever has problems I know where to find them.

No....it did not work, we had to take them to a dealership and pay to have them programmed. I hope this is helpful....also the website that give programming directions has nothing to do with the company who sells the fobs.

That is correct. And you can always take it later to a dealer and get them to activate it, since you don't have a second key to do it yourself. But unactivated, it will still unlock your doors.

Your original key will fit in the top of the FOB. The FOB must programmed at the dealer, along with the original FOB, in order for the vehicle to start.

I am not sure to what your are referring when you say "replacement case". The key inside the FOB only opens the door manually but that's all. The FOB starts the engine and remotely locks/unlocks the door, starts the engine and the horn alarm. The FOB can only be programmed by the dealer/locksmith. There is a way to program the FOB if you have another FOB for the same car, but I have never done that. The FOB I purchased online worked out fine and even though I had to take it to the dealership to get it programmed all in all it was so much cheaper than purchasing it from the dealership.

Hi Shelby, If you have the GM five button key fob and your board is not damaged, then the 5 button shell and rubber key pad is all you'll need to get that baby working. If your battery ring loosened or fell off, it just needs some soldering to fix that problem. Make sure that you check the list of model year and make of your GM car before placing your order. There are many fix it video on line if you need help. I found Amazon to fill my order quickly and know that they stand behind their procucts. Fixing my two key fobs saved me more than $400.00 the GM dealers wanted. auto dealers will replace the entire ket fob and board and surely don't want to tell you about this easy repair. Good Luck Jean & Vince M

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.

I really could not tell you....I got it to work on my second try with help from a friend...we both read the instructions again and we figured it out.Sorry all I can tell you is it works great for me. Just make sure you have the right fob.

Yes that can be confusing. When they say run just turn the key on but don't start the engine
