Chrysler Key Fob Programming
We cover 96 Chrysler model years, and 71 of them can be done at home. Chrysler uses two procedures. You can add a key with two working keys, and reprogram the remotes if you already have one that works. Vehicles from 2010 on need a locksmith or dealer to add a key, so newer 300s and Pacificas are usually a pro job. Most Chrysler fobs take a CR2032, with some older ones on the CR2016.
Choose your Chrysler model for programming steps, the battery it uses, and the correct replacement fob with FCC ID and part number — 96 model years across 13 models.

Chrysler key types
The replacement keys we've matched to Chrysler models fall into 4 types. A model year can take more than one, which is why the model pages list each option with its FCC ID.
- Remote 1998–2006
- A separate key fob that only handles locking and unlocking.
- Transponder Key 1998–2017
- A cut metal key with a chip in the head. No buttons.
- Remote Head Key 2004–2014
- One piece: a cut metal blade with the lock/unlock buttons built into the head.
- Proximity Key 2008–2021
- Stays in your pocket — the car unlocks and starts without inserting a key.
