Dodge Key Replacement in Milwaukee

Dodge keys for Charger, Durango, and Grand Caravan

Dodge key replacement in Milwaukee takes in muscle cars and family haulers alike: Charger and Challenger, Durango, Journey, Grand Caravan, and Dart, plus older Caliber, Avenger, and Magnum models. Dodge pickups became the Ram brand from the 2011 model year, so Ram trucks have their own page. We make the key where the car is parked and program it there.

The Fobik: a key you push into the dash

Many Dodges from 2008 on use a Fobik. It looks like a remote with no blade, and it goes into a slot in the dash, where you turn it like a key. A small emergency key slides out of it for the driver's door. The Fobik came with the 2008 Grand Caravan, the 2008 Challenger, the 2008 Charger, the 2009 Journey, the 2011 Durango, and the 2013 Dart. The Grand Caravan kept it for most of its run.

A Fobik has a chip and a remote inside the same shell, so a new one is cut for the emergency key and programmed to the car in one visit. Tell us how many buttons your Fobik has, because the replacement has to match them. If a Fobik turns in the dash but the car will not start, we check the chip first and program a new Fobik if the old one has failed.

Push-to-start Dodge smart keys

Many newer Charger, Challenger, and Durango trims use a push-to-start smart key, and some earlier ones had a Fobik that also worked as a proximity key. A smart key starts at $159 (smart keys).

Charger and Challenger SRT keys

SRT Hellcat versions of the Charger and Challenger come with two fobs, a black one and a red one. The red fob unlocks the full engine output, and the black fob limits it. A replacement has to be programmed as the right one, so tell us the color you lost.

2018 and newer: the security gateway

Most 2018 and newer Dodges share the security gateway used across Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler. It changes how the tool connects, not what you pay; the details are on the Jeep keys page.

Spare Dodge key

A spare made while one key works costs the least: from $69 for a chip key (spare car key). We cut the blade, program the chip, and test both keys. Expect 15 to 60 minutes at the car, depending on the key and the gateway step.

Every Dodge key lost

With nothing left, the job begins at the door: we open the car (car lockout). Next, the blade or the Fobik's emergency key needs its cuts, read from a door lock or taken from the Dodge factory code for your VIN once the title or registration checks out. Older Dodges with a chip key may also need a 4-digit PIN; the tool pulls it from the car on most models, and a few need an extra step at the immobilizer module. After programming, a lost key or Fobik no longer starts the car. All keys lost for a chip key starts at $119, and Fobik and smart keys cost more (lost car keys).

Grand Caravans and Journeys in fleets

Plenty of Grand Caravans and Journeys still carry crews and passengers for local companies. A letter or an email from the company, plus your photo ID, is all we need to make a key for one (fleet keys). A remote that left with a past driver can be removed from the car, and new remotes are programmed from $119 (key fobs).

For other makes, see car keys by make, including Chrysler keys, which use the same Fobik family.
