How do you program a Chrysler key fob without the original?

Programming a new Chrysler key fob to your vehicle without having the original can be done by following the steps outlined in your vehicle's owner's manual. Please refer to your specific model's owner's manual for the exact process. Here's a general guide on how to program a new Chrysler key fob without the original, but please note that the steps may vary depending on your specific vehicle model and year:

1. Gather Necessary Materials:

- New Chrysler key fob (original or replacement)

- Working original Chrysler key fob (if available)

2. Prepare Your Vehicle:

- Make sure all doors are closed and the vehicle is in "Park" (for automatic transmission) or "Neutral" (for manual transmission).

3. Enter Programming Mode:

- Follow the specific instructions in your owner's manual to enter the programming mode for your vehicle. This may involve turning the ignition on and off, pressing certain buttons on the existing key fob, or utilizing the vehicle's central locking system.

4. Program the New Key Fob:

- Refer to your owner's manual for the exact steps to program the new key fob. This may involve pressing buttons on both the existing and new key fobs, following on-screen prompts, or using the vehicle's keyless entry system.

5. Verify Programming:

- Once you have followed the programming steps, try unlocking and locking the vehicle using the new key fob to verify that it is programmed successfully.

6. Additional Key Fobs:

- If you have multiple new key fobs, repeat the programming process for each additional key fob.

7. Remote Functions:

- After the key fob is programmed, you may need to program the remote functions such as trunk release, panic alarm, or remote window control (if equipped).

Remember that programming a new Chrysler key fob without the original may require specific information or tools. If you're unable to program the key fob using your owner's manual, it is best to consult a professional automotive locksmith or dealer who specializes in Chrysler vehicles.
