Why New York customers mail in chrysler / dodge / jeep skim transponder key (uncut)

New York has roughly 10.5 million registered vehicles, and European luxury (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) make up much of what New York City-area shops and owners mail us. Domestic work like chrysler / dodge / jeep skim transponder key (uncut) runs high-volume across New York — we see a steady stream out of New York City, Buffalo, Rochester. Cross-country northeast — about 3 days each way.

What we see from the Northeast

Northeast Liberties, Grand Cherokees and minivans from this era have lived through twenty salted winters, and the SKIM ring around the ignition is one of the connectors that corrodes first. If the security light comes on only in the cold or only after the column gets wet, say so on the job note — we test the module warm and cold on the bench before we trust it enough to write a key to it.

Is there a chrysler / dodge / jeep skim transponder key (uncut) shop in New York City I should use instead?
Most New York City shops don't keep the bench equipment for chrysler / dodge / jeep skim transponder key (uncut) — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-country northeast — about 3 days each way.
Does New York vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
New York requires an annual combined safety and emissions inspection statewide. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all New York and federal requirements.
What exactly is the SKIM I need to ship?
The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module: a small unit mounted on the steering column whose molded plastic ring circles the ignition lock cylinder. Pull the upper and lower column shrouds, unplug its connector, and it comes off as one piece — the ring is part of it. The ignition lock itself stays in the vehicle.
Why can't you just use my VIN?
Because the four-digit PIN and the key list are stored in the SKIM itself. On the 1998-2004 vehicles the PIN is never sent on the data bus, so no scan tool can read it through the OBD port — the dealer needs the vehicle and a code lookup that often no longer exists for a car this old. Reading the module directly on the bench is the only way around that, and it is what this service does.
