Losing your Chrysler key can be frustrating, but our lost Chrysler key replacement guide is here to walk you through every step. Whether you’re dealing with a traditional key, Transponder, FOBIK, or smart proximity key, we’ll help you identify the right solution. From finding your VIN to choosing between a dealership or a mobile car locksmith, this guide makes the process simple and stress-free.
Many older Chrysler vehicles use traditional mechanical keys with no embedded chip. These basic keys are made entirely of metal and operate only through physical cuts that align with the vehicle's lock cylinders. Since they do not contain electronic components, they are simpler to duplicate and don’t require programming. Common non-transponder keyways used by Chrysler include Y157, Y159, and X114. These were used in models such as the Chrysler LeBaron, Town & Country, Fifth Avenue, and early model Sebring and Concorde vehicles.
If you already have a working key, one of the easiest and most affordable options is to order a pre-cut duplicate key online. By submitting a clear image of your current key or the factory key code, vendors can send you an exact match. These pre-cut mechanical keys typically range from $15 to $30. You can order one through our trusted pre-cut key service or through third-party providers like ProgramYourRemote.com.
Alternatively, a Chrysler dealership can also provide key duplication services. You’ll need to present your registration and a valid photo ID to prove vehicle ownership. Dealership pricing is generally higher, often ranging between $35 and $60 for a basic metal key. To locate a nearby Chrysler dealer that offers this service in Brooklyn, check our Chrysler dealership locator.
Mobile locksmiths provide a convenient and often more affordable solution. A qualified locksmith can duplicate your Chrysler’s traditional key on-site, typically charging between $25 and $50. This is especially useful if you’re locked out or want to avoid the hassle of going to a dealership.
If you’ve lost all copies of your key, don’t worry—replacement is still possible. A dealer or locksmith can retrieve the key code using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). With the VIN and proof of ownership, they can cut a matching key. This type of service typically ranges from $50 to $85. For more details, visit our VIN key replacement guide.
However, if the ignition was replaced at some point, the new cylinder may not match the VIN-derived key code. In such cases, a locksmith must manually decode the ignition or cut a key by impression. For more on this, check our ignition repair and replacement page.
Chrysler began using transponder key technology in the late 1990s as a way to improve vehicle security and prevent unauthorized engine starts. These keys contain a small chip embedded inside the plastic head that communicates with the vehicle’s immobilizer system. If the chip does not send the correct code, the engine will not start—even if the mechanical blade fits the lock. Unlike laser-cut keys, these transponder keys use traditional double-sided cuts and are easier to duplicate physically, though chip programming is still required.
Chrysler vehicles that commonly use non-laser cut transponder keys include the Chrysler Sebring, Concorde, Town & Country, 300M, and PT Cruiser. Common keyways include Y160 and Y164. Verified FCC IDs associated with Chrysler transponder keys include OHT692427AA, M3N5WY72XX, and IYZ-C01C. Each of these is paired with specific vehicle models and year ranges and requires both cutting and chip programming for full functionality.
If you already have a working key and want to make a backup, you can order a pre-cut duplicate key online. This service typically requires you to submit a key code or a high-quality image of your current key. Some Chrysler models also support onboard programming if you have two already programmed keys, allowing you to add a third key without a locksmith or dealer. Online pre-cut duplication and chip cloning generally range from $45 to $75. Visit our online key duplication page or browse reliable options at ProgramYourRemote.com.
If you prefer to work through an authorized Chrysler dealership, many dealers offer full-service key duplication and programming. You’ll need to bring your VIN, proof of ownership, and photo ID. Dealer pricing typically falls between $90 and $160 depending on your vehicle’s model and system requirements. To locate Chrysler dealerships in Brooklyn that can assist, use our Chrysler dealer locator.
Professional locksmiths also offer convenient and often more affordable services. Our licensed mobile locksmiths come directly to your location with all the necessary tools to cut and program your Chrysler transponder key. Most locksmith services range from $70 to $120, and service is usually completed within an hour.
If you’ve lost all keys, a new one can be made using your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Both locksmiths and dealerships can retrieve the factory key code from Chrysler’s database and cut a new key accordingly. This service typically costs between $85 and $140, depending on the provider. For detailed instructions and required documentation, refer to our VIN key replacement guide.
If your ignition has been replaced, the original VIN may no longer correspond to the new ignition lock. In this case, key codes pulled from the VIN won’t work. A locksmith will need to manually decode the ignition or cut a key by impression. For these advanced scenarios, visit our ignition repair and replacement page for expert help.
Chrysler introduced laser cut keys in the early 2000s as part of a broader push to modernize vehicle security. Unlike traditional double-sided keys, laser cut keys feature a thicker, centrally grooved blade that requires specialized machines for cutting. This design increases durability and reduces the risk of unauthorized duplication. These keys are commonly used in mid-to-late 2000s Chrysler models and remain standard in many vehicles today.
Models like the Chrysler 300, Pacifica, Sebring, and later versions of the Town & Country are known to use laser cut keys. These vehicles often include keyways such as SIP22 or HU100. Verified FCC IDs associated with Chrysler laser cut keys include M3N5WY783X, IYZ-C01C, and OHT692713AA. These keys may include integrated remote buttons for lock, unlock, and panic functions, and typically include a transponder chip that must be programmed to the vehicle.
If you already have a working key and need a spare, ordering a pre-cut duplicate key online is a convenient and affordable option. Online vendors can cut a new key based on a photo or factory key code, and in some cases, they also offer chip cloning. Some Chrysler models support onboard programming if two keys are already programmed to the vehicle. Online duplication services typically cost between $60 and $100. To get started, visit our pre-cut key duplication page or browse trusted platforms like ProgramYourRemote.com.
Chrysler dealerships offer full duplication and programming services for laser cut keys. You’ll need to bring your vehicle’s VIN, registration, and a valid photo ID. Dealerships use factory tools to cut the key and program the transponder chip, ensuring full compatibility with your vehicle. Expect pricing to range from $120 to $200. You can find up to three certified Chrysler dealers in Brooklyn through our Chrysler dealer locator.
Mobile locksmiths are another reliable option. Equipped with high-security cutting machines and advanced programming tools, a locksmith can duplicate or replace your Chrysler laser cut key on-site. This is especially helpful in emergencies or when you're unable to reach a dealer. Most locksmiths charge between $90 and $150, with service typically completed in under an hour.
If you've lost all keys, both locksmiths and dealers can generate a new key using your vehicle’s VIN. The VIN allows access to the original key code stored in Chrysler’s database, which can then be used to cut and program a replacement. This service generally ranges from $100 to $160. Learn how to prepare by visiting our VIN key replacement guide.
However, if the ignition was replaced, the new cylinder may not match the key code tied to your VIN. In this case, a locksmith will need to manually decode the ignition or cut a key by impression. For help with ignition-related issues, refer to our ignition repair and replacement page.
Chrysler introduced FOBIK keys in the mid-2000s as part of its shift toward integrating security and convenience into a single key unit. FOBIK stands for "Frequency Operated Button Ignition Key." These keys resemble a key fob in shape and size, but they are physically inserted into an ignition slot instead of turning a standard metal key. FOBIK keys contain a transponder chip and typically include remote functions such as lock, unlock, panic, and trunk release.
Chrysler models that use FOBIK keys include the Chrysler 300, Aspen, Town & Country, and Sebring. Some of the verified FCC IDs used with Chrysler FOBIK systems include M3N5WY783X, IYZ-C01C, and OHT692427AA. Each FCC ID corresponds to a different style of FOBIK key, and it’s important to match your replacement key with the correct version to ensure full functionality.
If you already have a working FOBIK key, one of the most efficient ways to obtain a duplicate is by ordering a pre-cut key online. Vendors typically request a clear image of your current key or your factory key code to make an accurate duplicate. In some cases, onboard programming is possible if you already have two working keys, allowing you to program a third without a professional. Pre-cut FOBIK keys ordered online generally range from $65 to $95. You can start the process by visiting our FOBIK key duplication page or using trusted sources like ProgramYourRemote.com.
Chrysler dealerships can also cut and program a new FOBIK key if you provide the proper documentation. You'll need to show your VIN, vehicle registration, and photo ID to prove ownership. Dealers use factory tools and systems to program the transponder and remote functions. Dealer duplication pricing typically ranges from $140 to $220. To find Chrysler dealers in Houston that offer key services, visit our dealer locator page.
Mobile locksmiths offer another effective and convenient option for duplicating or replacing FOBIK keys. Our trained locksmiths arrive on-site with all necessary tools for cutting and programming. Locksmith pricing for Chrysler FOBIK key services typically falls between $100 and $160, with most jobs completed within an hour.
If you’ve lost all keys, don’t worry—a new FOBIK key can still be created using your vehicle’s VIN. Both dealers and locksmiths can retrieve the original key code tied to your Chrysler and cut a matching key. You’ll also need your title or registration and photo ID. This type of service usually ranges from $120 to $180. Visit our VIN key replacement guide to learn what to prepare.
If your ignition has been changed at any point, the original VIN will no longer match the new ignition's key code. In that case, a locksmith will need to manually decode the ignition or cut a key by impression. For expert help with ignition mismatches, visit our ignition repair and replacement page.
Chrysler began using proximity keys in the early 2010s to enhance vehicle convenience and security. Also known as smart keys, these allow drivers to unlock the doors and start the engine without inserting a physical key. As long as the key fob is within range, the vehicle’s push-to-start system can be activated. Proximity keys typically include remote functions like lock, unlock, trunk release, and panic alarm, all within one compact device.
Chrysler models that use proximity smart keys include the Chrysler 300, Pacifica, and newer versions of the Town & Country and Sebring. Verified FCC IDs used in Chrysler proximity keys include M3N32297100, M3N40821302, and GQ4-53T. These IDs correspond to different models and features, so it’s essential to use the correct version when replacing a lost or damaged key.
For drivers with an existing working proximity key, a pre-cut duplicate can be ordered online by providing a photo of the original key or the factory key code. Some Chrysler models support onboard programming if two programmed keys are already available, making it easy to add a third. Pre-cut and programmable proximity keys usually cost between $85 and $150. Visit our online key cutting service or check reliable vendors like ProgramYourRemote.com to get started.
Dealerships offer proximity key duplication and programming for Chrysler vehicles using OEM tools and systems. You’ll need your VIN, a valid photo ID, and proof of ownership. Most Chrysler dealerships charge between $180 and $300 for a full key replacement. To find a local dealer in Brooklyn, check our Chrysler dealer locator.
Mobile locksmiths can also duplicate and program proximity keys on-site. Equipped with advanced diagnostic tools, locksmiths can often complete the job faster and more affordably than a dealership. Locksmith services for proximity keys generally cost between $140 and $220, depending on the model and complexity of the system.
If all keys are lost, a replacement can be created using the vehicle’s VIN. This process requires verifying ownership and accessing Chrysler’s key code database. Expect pricing from $160 to $260. For more information, visit our VIN-based key replacement guide.
Note: If your push-to-start system or WIN module is damaged or malfunctioning, this is not a locksmith repair. You'll need an automotive electrician or Chrysler technician to inspect and replace the system properly.
Losing your Chrysler key can be stressful, but the recovery process is straightforward when you follow the right steps. Whether you’ve lost a traditional metal key, a transponder key, a FOBIK, or a smart key, here’s what to do to get back on the road quickly.
Confirm the Type of Key Lost: Identify whether your lost Chrysler key was a basic metal key, transponder key, FOBIK, or proximity smart key. Knowing your key type helps determine whether programming is needed and what equipment will be required for replacement.
Gather Required Information: Have your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), vehicle registration, and a valid photo ID ready. These details are necessary for locksmiths or dealers to verify ownership and retrieve the correct key code.
Call a Locksmith or the Dealer: Contact a trusted mobile locksmith or local Chrysler dealership. Locksmiths offer the convenience of on-site service, while dealers can provide OEM replacements, though they may require towing if all keys are lost.
Test the Key: After your new key is cut and programmed, test it in the door, trunk, and ignition. Ensure remote features, chip recognition, and push-to-start functions (if applicable) work properly. For troubleshooting, visit our lost key guide.
Make a Spare Key: Avoid future emergencies by creating a backup. Use a locksmith or online service to duplicate your Chrysler key affordably and conveniently.
Over time, Chrysler ignition systems may wear out or become damaged due to frequent use, break-ins, or key-related issues. Common signs include a broken key in the ignition, the key getting stuck, or a situation where the key won’t turn. These issues can prevent your car from starting and require professional attention.
If your key breaks off in the ignition, don’t try to extract it yourself. Our locksmiths carry specialized tools to remove the broken piece safely and check for damage. A stuck key may be due to worn wafers, a faulty lock cylinder, or a bent key. We’ll diagnose the cause on-site and resolve it quickly.
If your Chrysler was subject to a burglary attempt or the ignition is physically damaged, a complete replacement might be necessary. Our team can replace the ignition cylinder and rekey it to match your existing key (if available) or create a new one. This ensures smooth and secure operation of your vehicle’s starting system.
