This procedure covers 74 Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth vehicles from 1998 to 2010. Check that yours is listed below, then follow the steps.
Need the fob itself?
Pick your vehicle to see replacement fobs on Amazon. Match the FCC ID on your old fob before you buy.
Not sure which fob is yours? Find your year below for the exact FCC ID and part number.
On these Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep vehicles you can reprogram remotes yourself if you already have one working remote. Try Procedure 1 first; if it doesn't work, use Procedure 2. Every remote not reprogrammed now will stop working.
Before you start
- At least one working remote
- All your remotes
- Sit inside, all doors closed, driver's seatbelt on, no one else in the vehicle
Procedure 1
- 1Put the key in the ignition and turn to ON (last stop before cranking).
- 2Press and hold UNLOCK on a working remote for 4–10 seconds.
- 3Still holding UNLOCK, press PANIC for one second, then release both together. A chime within 3 seconds confirms programming mode.
- 4Within 30 seconds, press UNLOCK on that same remote — a tone confirms it reprogrammed.
- 5Within 30 seconds, press UNLOCK on the next remote. Repeat for all remotes, including working ones.
- 6Turn the ignition off and test the remotes.
Procedure 2
- 1Put the key in the ignition and turn to ON (as far as it goes without cranking).
- 2Press and hold UNLOCK on a working remote for 4–10 seconds.
- 3Still holding UNLOCK, press PANIC for one second, then release both. A chime within 3 seconds confirms programming mode.
- 4Within 30 seconds, press LOCK and UNLOCK together on that same remote, release, then press and release UNLOCK — a chime confirms it.
- 5Within 30 seconds, repeat that LOCK+UNLOCK then UNLOCK sequence on each remaining remote, including working ones.
- 6Turn the ignition off and test the remotes.
Which fob does your vehicle take?
These steps program a fob to your car — they can't tell you which fob to buy, and one that isn't the right part for your vehicle will not pair no matter how carefully you follow them. Find your vehicle below: tap your year for the exact fob it takes — FCC ID, OE part number and battery — or "Shop fobs" to browse replacements for that model.
