Losing your Dodge key doesn’t have to ruin your day. This quick guide to lost Dodge key replacement will help you take the right steps to get back on the road fast. From identifying your key type to choosing between a dealership or a mobile car locksmith, we’ve got you covered. Whether it’s a traditional, transponder, FOBIK, or smart key—we’ll walk you through it all.
Many Dodge vehicles manufactured in earlier years use traditional metal keys that contain no electronic chip. These keys are mechanically cut and operate only the physical lock and ignition cylinders. They do not require programming, making them simple and inexpensive to duplicate or replace. Common mechanical keyways used by Dodge include Y157, Y159, and X214. These keyways are typically found on models like the Dodge Ram, Dakota, Caravan, and Neon from earlier generations.
If you already have a working key, the most convenient and affordable way to duplicate it is through an online pre-cut key service. By submitting a clear photo of your existing key or providing the key code, you can order a new key to be shipped directly to your door. Prices for online pre-cut mechanical Dodge keys generally range from $15 to $30. To get started, visit our online key duplication service or use a trusted vendor like ProgramYourRemote.com.
Alternatively, you can get a duplicate key through a Dodge dealership. Bring proof of ownership and your photo ID, and the dealer can cut a key for your vehicle. Dealerships often charge more than online or locksmith services, with costs typically falling between $35 and $60. To locate a dealership in Brooklyn that can assist you, check our Dodge dealer locator.
Mobile locksmiths are another fast and affordable option. A professional locksmith can cut a traditional metal key for your Dodge on-site, often in less than 30 minutes. Prices for this service generally range from $25 to $50 depending on the location and urgency of the call. Most locksmiths carry the correct blanks for popular Dodge models and can duplicate keys quickly using portable cutting machines.
If all keys are lost, you can still have a new key made using your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Both dealers and locksmiths can retrieve the original key code based on your VIN and cut a matching mechanical key. This type of replacement usually costs between $50 and $80. Visit our VIN key replacement guide for more information.
Keep in mind, if the ignition was ever replaced, the new ignition may not match the factory key code tied to your VIN. In this case, a locksmith will need to manually decode the ignition cylinder or replace it. For help with this situation, visit our ignition locksmith service page.
In the late 1990s, Dodge began integrating transponder key technology into its vehicle lineup as part of an anti-theft upgrade. Unlike traditional metal keys, transponder keys feature a small chip embedded in the plastic head. This chip communicates with the vehicle's onboard computer and allows the engine to start only when the correct signal is detected. These keys are cut like standard double-sided keys but require electronic programming to function.
Some of the most common Dodge transponder key keyways include Y160 and Y164. These keyways were widely used in Dodge vehicles such as the Dodge Stratus, Neon, Caravan, and Dakota throughout the early 2000s. Verified FCC IDs associated with Dodge transponder keys include OHT692427AA, M3N5WY72XX, and IYZ-C01C. These keys are typically not laser cut and are compatible with traditional ignition systems, yet they feature full chip-based immobilizer functions.
If you already have one working transponder key, duplicating a second is straightforward and affordable. Many online services offer pre-cut keys based on your original key code or a high-quality photo of your key. Some Dodge models support onboard programming, meaning you can program a new key at home if you already have two working keys. Online duplication and chip cloning services typically cost between $45 and $75. For fast and secure online key orders, visit our key duplication service or check out ProgramYourRemote.com.
If you prefer dealership service, most Dodge dealers in Brooklyn offer full key replacement services, including cutting and programming. To complete the transaction, you'll need to bring your vehicle’s VIN, a valid photo ID, and proof of ownership. Dealership duplication of transponder keys typically ranges from $90 to $160. For assistance locating a dealer near you, use our Dodge dealership locator.
Mobile locksmiths offer another efficient and often more cost-effective option. With portable programming equipment and key-cutting machines, professional locksmiths can duplicate or replace transponder keys at your location. This service is especially helpful during emergencies. Pricing for locksmith-made transponder keys usually falls between $70 and $120, depending on your model and location.
If you’ve lost all keys, a new one can still be made using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Both locksmiths and dealerships can pull the original key code from Dodge’s database to cut and program a new transponder key. Expect pricing in the range of $85 to $140 for VIN-based key replacement. Learn more about the process on our VIN replacement page.
Important: if your ignition was ever replaced, the new lock may no longer match the factory key code tied to your VIN. In such cases, the VIN will not help. Instead, a locksmith will need to manually decode the ignition or perform a full replacement. For this scenario, visit our ignition repair and replacement service for expert assistance.
Dodge introduced laser cut keys in the mid-2000s to improve vehicle security and reduce the chances of unauthorized duplication. These keys, also referred to as high-security keys, differ from traditional double-sided keys by featuring a flat, internally milled blade with a central groove. This design requires specialized equipment to cut and makes the key more durable and tamper-resistant.
Laser cut keys are commonly used in Dodge vehicles such as the Charger, Challenger, Durango, Dart, Journey, and newer Grand Caravan models. Some of the keyways associated with Dodge laser cut keys include SIP22 and HU100. Verified FCC IDs that correspond with Dodge laser cut key remotes include M3N5WY783X, IYZ-C01C, and OHT692427AA. These keys often come integrated with remote buttons for lock, unlock, and panic functions.
Drivers who already have a working laser cut key can easily order a pre-cut duplicate online. By submitting a clear photo of your key or providing the key code, vendors can deliver a ready-to-use key blank. Some Dodge vehicles allow onboard programming if you already have two working keys, enabling you to add a third yourself. Online duplication for laser cut Dodge keys generally ranges from $60 to $100. For fast and affordable service, visit our pre-cut key duplication page or browse options from ProgramYourRemote.com.
For those who prefer to go through an authorized dealership, Dodge dealers in Brooklyn can supply and program new laser cut keys. You’ll need to provide the vehicle’s VIN, registration, and valid ID to prove ownership. Dealer pricing for laser cut keys, including programming, typically ranges from $120 to $200. Use our Dodge dealership locator to find up to three local dealers in Brooklyn who provide this service.
Mobile locksmiths are often a more affordable and quicker option. Our experienced locksmiths are fully equipped with high-security cutting machines and programming tools, allowing them to duplicate or replace your laser cut key on-site. Locksmith pricing usually falls between $90 and $150 depending on the vehicle model and key system.
If you’ve lost all keys, a new one can still be made using your vehicle’s VIN. Both locksmiths and dealers can retrieve the original key code from Dodge’s system and cut a replacement key. Pricing for this service ranges from $100 to $160. Learn more on our VIN-based key replacement guide.
It’s important to note that if the ignition was ever replaced, the VIN-linked key code may no longer match the current ignition cylinder. In this case, the new key will not work unless the locksmith decodes the existing ignition manually. For help with this issue, visit our ignition repair and replacement page.
Dodge introduced FOBIK keys in the mid-2000s as a modern upgrade to traditional ignition systems. FOBIK stands for “Frequency Operated Button Ignition Key,” and these keys are shaped like a fob but function as a physical key when inserted into a designated ignition slot. They combine remote control features—such as lock, unlock, and panic—with a built-in transponder chip that communicates with the vehicle’s immobilizer system.
FOBIK keys have been used in a range of Dodge vehicles including the Dodge Charger, Durango, Journey, Grand Caravan, and some RAM truck models. Verified FCC IDs commonly found on Dodge FOBIK keys include M3N5WY783X, IYZ-C01C, and OHT692427AA. These FCC IDs represent different frequency ranges and remote button configurations specific to each model and year, making it important to match the correct one for replacement.
If you still have one working FOBIK key, the most cost-effective option is to order a pre-cut duplicate key online. Vendors can cut the key based on a photo or key code and ship it directly to you. Some Dodge models support onboard programming if you already have two working keys, which means you can program a third key without professional tools. Prices for online FOBIK duplication generally range from $60 to $90. Start the process by visiting our online key duplication service or browse trusted vendors like ProgramYourRemote.com.
For those who prefer dealership service, Dodge dealers in Houston can provide and program new FOBIK keys. You’ll need to bring your VIN, registration, and photo ID to verify ownership. Dealer pricing typically ranges from $140 to $220 for cutting and programming. To locate nearby Dodge dealerships that offer key replacement services, use our dealer locator for Houston.
Mobile locksmiths provide a convenient and often faster alternative. Our trained technicians carry compatible FOBIK keys and state-of-the-art programming tools. They can come to your location and create a new key on-site—whether you need a duplicate or have lost all your keys. Locksmith pricing usually falls between $100 and $160, depending on vehicle model and key configuration.
If you've lost all keys, replacement is still possible using your vehicle’s VIN. Locksmiths and dealers can pull the factory key code using this number and cut a matching FOBIK key. This service typically ranges from $120 to $180, depending on the vehicle system. Visit our VIN key replacement page for more info on what to prepare before calling.
Keep in mind that if your vehicle's ignition or WIN (Wireless Ignition Node) module has been replaced, the VIN-linked key code may no longer match. In such cases, a locksmith will need to decode the new ignition or recommend replacing it again. For more details, visit our ignition repair and replacement guide.
Dodge began using proximity keys in the early 2010s to enhance convenience and vehicle security. These smart keys allow drivers to unlock the doors and start the engine without physically inserting the key into the ignition. The system detects the key’s presence within a certain range and enables push-to-start functionality, making entry and ignition seamless.
Common Dodge models equipped with proximity key systems include the Charger, Durango, Dart, Journey, and Challenger. Verified FCC IDs associated with Dodge proximity smart keys include M3N32297100, M3N40821302, and GQ4-54T. Each key is designed to communicate securely with your vehicle’s immobilizer and electronic control modules.
If you already have a working proximity key, ordering a pre-cut duplicate key online is a convenient and affordable option. You’ll need to provide your key code or submit a clear image of the existing key. Some models support onboard programming if you already have two working keys, which allows you to add a third at home. Prices for online pre-cut proximity keys typically range from $85 to $150. To start, visit our pre-cut key duplication service or browse options at ProgramYourRemote.com.
If you choose to work with a Dodge dealership, they can cut and program a new proximity key using your VIN. You’ll need to bring photo ID and proof of vehicle ownership. Dealer pricing for proximity key replacement generally falls between $180 and $300. Use our dealer locator for Brooklyn to find a nearby Dodge service center.
Mobile locksmiths can also replace and program Dodge proximity keys on-site. Many carry the latest smart key blanks and programming tools, and service is often quicker and more affordable than going through a dealer. Expect to pay $140 to $220 depending on your vehicle and location.
If you’ve lost all keys, a replacement can be made using your vehicle’s VIN. Locksmiths and dealers can retrieve the original key code and create a new proximity key. This service usually costs $160 to $260. Visit our VIN replacement guide for more information.
Important: if your push-to-start system or WIN module is malfunctioning, this is considered an electrical repair—not a locksmith service. You’ll need to consult an automotive electrician or authorized dealer to replace or reprogram ignition control modules.
Losing your Dodge key can be stressful, but replacing it doesn’t have to be complicated. Follow this step-by-step guide to get back on the road quickly and safely, whether you’ve misplaced a traditional key, transponder, FOBIK, or proximity smart key.
Confirm the Type of Key Lost: Start by identifying the type of key your Dodge uses. If it’s a basic metal key, a transponder key, a FOBIK, or a proximity smart key, knowing the key type determines the tools and programming needed. Refer to our guide on transponder keys if you’re unsure.
Gather Required Information: You’ll need your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), proof of ownership (registration or title), and your photo ID. This information allows a locksmith or dealer to retrieve the key code associated with your vehicle.
Call a Locksmith or the Dealer: A mobile locksmith can often reach you faster and provide affordable on-site service. Dealerships may offer OEM replacements but usually require towing if you’ve lost all keys. Locksmiths can typically generate and program a new key without needing to tow the vehicle.
Test the Key: After cutting and programming, test your new key in the door, ignition, and trunk. For transponder or proximity keys, ensure the vehicle starts and recognizes the key without issues.
Make a Spare Key: Once your key is replaced, avoid future lockouts by creating a backup. Use our key duplication service for peace of mind. For more guidance, visit our Lost Key Replacement Guide.
If your Dodge has ignition issues, it’s important to address them quickly before the situation worsens. Common problems include a broken key in the ignition, the key being stuck and unable to turn, or complete failure of the ignition cylinder. These are symptoms of worn tumblers, internal lock damage, or electronic failure.
When a key breaks off inside the ignition, forcing it out can cause additional damage. Our mobile locksmiths carry precision extraction tools to safely remove broken pieces and assess the cylinder. If your key won’t turn or is stuck in the ignition, it may be caused by misaligned wafers or a worn key blade.
In the event of burglary or vandalism, full ignition replacement may be necessary. Our experts provide on-site diagnostics and carry OEM-quality parts for most Dodge models. We replace the ignition quickly while ensuring full key compatibility.
For detailed support and booking, visit our ignition repair and replacement service page. We’ll restore your ignition system with quality parts and professional care.
Dealerships provide OEM parts and manufacturer-approved key programming, but they often require towing and have higher fees. Local mobile locksmiths can offer both OEM and high-quality aftermarket keys, perform all work on-site, and typically offer faster, more affordable solutions—especially in emergency scenarios.

1. What should I do if I lose my Dodge key?

2. Can I get back into my car if I locked my keys in the trunk?
Yes. If you've accidentally locked your keys in the trunk, a skilled locksmith can unlock the vehicle without damage. Trunk access methods vary by model, but professional tools can help retrieve the key quickly and safely.
3. Does my Dodge use a Transponder key?
Most Dodge models manufactured after the late 1990s are equipped with Transponder keys. These keys contain a chip that communicates with the car's immobilizer. If the chip is missing or unprogrammed, the car will not start. A locksmith can verify and program new Transponder keys on-site.
4. Will my insurance policy cover key replacement?
Some comprehensive insurance policies do cover lost key replacement or offer reimbursement. Review your policy or contact your provider to see if this service is included. Some auto clubs and credit card companies also offer key-related benefits.
5. Is roadside assistance useful for key issues?
Absolutely. Roadside assistance programs often provide lockout services, emergency towing, and sometimes even key replacement help. Check with your service provider to see what's covered in your plan and whether it includes mobile locksmith access.
6. What information is needed to get a new Dodge key made?
To replace your key, you’ll need your vehicle’s VIN, registration or title, and a photo ID. This allows the locksmith or dealer to verify ownership and retrieve the proper key code for cutting and programming.
7. How long does it take to replace a Dodge key?

Yes, and it’s highly recommended. Having a backup key can save you from lockouts and costly emergencies. A locksmith can duplicate your current key and program it to your vehicle for everyday use or emergency backup.
9. What happens if my Dodge key breaks in the ignition?
If your key breaks off in the ignition, do not attempt to remove it yourself. A locksmith can extract the broken piece safely and assess whether the ignition cylinder needs repair or replacement. This is a common service, especially in older Dodge models.
10. What if the ignition was replaced and the VIN doesn’t match?
If the ignition was replaced, the original VIN-based key code may no longer match. In this case, a locksmith will need to manually decode the new ignition or cut a key by impression. We handle these issues regularly and offer fast, reliable solutions.
