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&C. How is the key cut to work

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.

The key only opens the door. The key will not start the van. The FOB will still start the van even if the remote buttons don't work. You can even take the battery out of the FOB and it will still start the van. Use the key to gain entry and the FOB to run the van. The dealer can cut your new blank key.

Not a chance. The metal key is only for entry. The key Fob is what will start the engine

The key only opens the door. My car did not start so I had a lock smith make a key, not the electronic one and it started the car.

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

To be honest with you I did buy one of these keys & I haven't gotten it cut because I had went to the Honda dealer & they talked bad about it. But I really believe it will work cause I program my original key with the program directions that came with the key. They told me that they had to do so much to program my key. So I figured if they lied about that then they will lie about they key I purchased. Thats my thought on it. & I don't know where it is from.

If the current one starts the car the new one should work fine. It self programs with simple instructions if you have two current keys that start the car.

That's correct, the key will open the door locks and even allow the ignition to turn but won't let the vehicle start. With only one key you'll have to get a dealer or authorized center to program the new key. Once you have two you can program additional keys your self in the car.

Turn your key on and off until your door locks go on and off (don't start your car) then push the lock key on the remote key fob and you should be good to go.

The car has to be on acc function with the key. Then you start the programming instructions

To answer your question it usually takes one of each, or 2 of any programmed keys that will start the car. unless, one is a clone from a hardware store or walmart. As long as you have two programmed keys that will start the car and one or both are not one of these clone keys, you should be fine.

I haven't bothered to get my spare key cut yet, though I probably should. I plan to go to my local hardware store and have them match the original. If the battery on the fob fails, you will need that key. I have a friend with a prius with no backup key. He has two fobs, neither of which have a cut key in them. To answer your question: No, you do not have to get the key cut in order to operate your car. It is a backup in case your fob fails and you are locked out of the car.

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.

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 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.

One key plus new one is all you need. My husband checked the yellow pages under Auto Diagnostic Service. Found nearby 'Top Tech' on second call. Saved $$$$ over dealer!Two years later we are driving a new Chrysler and using GOOGLE. I plugged in your specific ? It provided several links including a site with instructions for do-it yourselfers. Good luck!

I connected to the radio power wire. That way it works for a few minutes even after the key is turned off. Every vehicle is different of course. If you do go to the battery direct, be sure to put fuse coupler in next to battery. I have had mine installed for over a year and so far works great.

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.

I spent a lot of money to get that key programmed. The dealer said he was not able to keep it closed and when he put the key in the ignition and tried to turn it the key would fall apart every time. The dealer told me that the best thing for me to do is return the key. I just want a key that works and will not fall apart when I try to start my vehicle.

The electronics will work to open the door and you can move the electronics for that from one key to another. However, there are apparently other electronics/settings associated with the key itself and you have to get it cut and programed to actually be able to also start the car with it.

Yes, you need a key bypass module for this to start your car. You will use the key to put it into drive but the engine will not start with out the chip or a key bypass module. The crimestopper web site has links to Fortin that makes the modules.
