The process involves connecting a scan tool to the vehicle's OBD-II port and then following the procedure to add the new fob's ID to the vehicle's computer system. This isn't something you can do with readily available tools or software.
Therefore, you'll need to:
* Visit a Jeep dealership: This is the most reliable and recommended method. They have the correct tools and expertise. Expect to pay a fee for this service.
* Contact a locksmith specializing in automotive keys: Some locksmiths have the necessary equipment to program Jeep keys. This is often a cheaper alternative than the dealership but ensure they are reputable and experienced with Jeep Patriots.
Trying to find unofficial methods online is risky. Improper programming can lead to further complications and potentially brick your vehicle's computer system. Sticking to professional services ensures a safe and successful programming.
