2001 neon? did she have a black head key or a gray head key. the gray head keys dont have any chips whatsoever to this day.

ive done a ton of remote starts in my day and have never seen a dodge/chrysler/jeep with manual options and a chipped key.

 

It was a gray rubber head, as opposed to the hard plastic.

I know it had a chip. The locksmith showed me how the car would run for like 2 seconds without the chip activated before shutting itself off. An anti-theft feature I assume. Once it was programmed, it would run fine.

 

I had a 2003 freedom edition wrangler that had a chip.

 

One of my keys cost more then that.

When I bought my car it only came with 1 key, and a local dealer quoted me a little over $300 for a cut and programmed copy of the remote master key. Sewell charges half that for a cut key with no programming.

The 98-00 Keys have built in immobilizers and trunk release, so they are kind of a rip off.

92-97 Have the same Master key and valet key
92-95 Have the same Remote Master key (button on the side that can unlock the car) *Requires programming
96-97 Have a seperate remote to lock/unlock the door *requires programming

98-00 Share the same remote master, master key, and valet key *All require programming.

 

my bad got it mixed up. the gray keys had chips and the black ones did not.

 

5sp jzz knows what hes talking about, take your vin and title and go to dealer, i had same prob while buying a stolen integra, no keys what so ever, but in my case i changed the ignition from another teg. Now i have 1 set of keys to open trunk and doors and another to crank it, if duplicating key theme dont work i suggest swaping oem ignition from wrecked or so sc and tell dealers to suck their thumb

 

well get your vin number, take it to the dealer, show them proof of ownership and they will cut you a new one....

 

Locate the “on” positive and negative wires in the steering column. They should run up to the ignition tumbler and be color-coded. Pull those wires from the ignition, strip a portion of each and twist them together. The car will now be on and ready for ignition.

 

i got a new for $93 at the lexus dealership. they didnt even ask for proof ownership.
