Attempting to program a key yourself without the proper tools and knowledge is highly unlikely to succeed and could potentially damage your vehicle's computer system.
The proper way to get a Chrysler ignition key programmed is:
* Dealership: This is the most reliable method. They have the correct tools and software to program keys quickly and accurately. You will likely need to provide proof of ownership.
* Locksmith: Some locksmiths specialize in automotive keys and have the equipment to program Chrysler keys. Make sure you choose a reputable locksmith with experience in Chrysler vehicles. Ask for references and check online reviews before hiring. Be prepared to show proof of ownership.
Things to AVOID:
* DIY kits or methods found online: These are often unreliable, may not work, and could cause irreversible damage to your vehicle's security system.
* Unverified locksmiths: Choose a locksmith carefully to avoid scams or poorly done work.
In short, while it might seem tempting to try and save money by programming the key yourself, it's strongly recommended you go through a professional. The cost of repair from a failed attempt will far outweigh the cost of professional programming.
