Chrysler / Dodge / Jeep Transponder Key Made From Your SKIM by Mail — All Keys Lost, No Dealer PIN, No Tow
All keys lost on a Liberty, Grand Cherokee, Ram, Neon, PT Cruiser or minivan, and the dealer wants it towed in for a PIN it may never get? Ship the SKIM from your steering column and we write a new transponder key to it — $125, uncut blade.

How to tell you have SKIM
- A plastic ring around the ignition lock cylinder under the column shroud
- An amber key-shaped light in the cluster that glows about three seconds at key-on
- A grey rubber cap on the head of the original key (Sentry Key)
- Security light flashing while the engine dies two seconds after starting
What we work from
- The SKIM module with its antenna ring
- Any existing keys, working or not (they stay programmed)
- Your VIN, year and model on the order
What the key does
- Starts the engine (the transponder side of the key)
- Blade arrives uncut — cut locally from an existing key or lock
- No remote lock/unlock buttons (valet-style key)
Will This Fix My Problem?
Honest answer: here's exactly what this service fixes — and what it doesn't.
Fixes:
- All keys lost on a 1998-2007 Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep with the SKIM ring around the ignition
- Dealer says the vehicle must be towed in, or cannot get a PIN for a vehicle this old
- Bought a Liberty, Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, Ram, Dakota, PT Cruiser, Neon or Caravan with one key or none
- Have a cut key that turns the locks but the security light kills the engine after two seconds
- Replaced the SKIM with a used one and need a key paired to it
- Want a plain spare transponder key for the drawer without a dealer visit
Won't fix:
- Need the blade cut as well? That is the $150 cut + programmed key — ship your door lock cylinder with the SKIM
- Ram 2006-2008 and every 2007+ vehicle with the fob built into the key (WCM / WIN / FOBIK) — different system, text us first
- Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger / Magnum (2005+), Grand Cherokee WK and Commander (2005+) — SKREEM, not SKIM
- Sebring and Stratus coupes — Mitsubishi-built with a Mitsubishi immobilizer
- Chrysler Crossfire — its SKREEM sits behind the cluster; it has its own page
- Mechanically seized ignition or door lock cylinders — the module and the lock have to be serviceable
- Non-immobilizer no-start causes (fuel, crank, wiring) — the security light has to be the story
Why the SKIM ships and the vehicle stays home
A dealer makes a Sentry Key by connecting to the vehicle and entering the four-digit PIN. On the 1998-2004 cars that PIN is stored only in the SKIM — it is never sent on the data bus, so no tool can pull it through the OBD port, and for a twenty-year-old Jeep or Neon the dealer may not be able to look it up either. The module itself is a small unit that comes off the column in twenty minutes. On the bench we read it directly, write the new transponder into it and confirm the pairing on our rig. The vehicle never moves, and the SKIM comes back holding a key that already works.
