How Chrysler immobilizers work
The Chrysler 300, Town & Country and Pacifica cover a long span of immobilizer designs, from early SKIM and SKREEM systems through the current RF Hub. Fobik keys are common through the 2010s; the Pacifica moved to proximity keys.
No locksmith can honestly promise every Chrysler model and year. Whether a key can be made for yours — and where — depends on the year and system. Call (312) 478-6125 with the year, model and VIN and ask before anyone is dispatched. Mr Locksmith is an independent locksmith and is not affiliated with Chrysler.
Common Chrysler key types
- Transponder key
- Fobik key
- Smart key (proximity)
All keys lost on a Chrysler
Chrysler all-keys-lost follows the Stellantis pattern: the PIN is read from the module, the key is cut where it has a blade, and the fob is registered.
Worth knowing
Minivan keys spend their lives on crowded family keyrings and get dropped often. If a Town & Country or Pacifica fob has a cracked case, replacing the shell early protects the circuit board inside.
Before you call about a Chrysler key
- The year, model and trim of your Chrysler
- The VIN — visible through the windshield on the driver's side, or on the registration
- Whether any working key or fob still exists
- Where the vehicle is: driveway, street, parking garage level or commuter lot
When the technician arrives, expect to be asked for photo ID and proof of ownership — the registration, the title, or a lease or financing agreement in your name.
Car keys by make
Key types, immobilizer systems and all-keys-lost notes for each make. Call with the year and model to confirm what can be done for your vehicle.
Common questions
My Chrysler key fob battery died — how do I start the car?
On push-button Chryslers, including the Pacifica, press the brake and push the start button with the nose of the fob. On Fobik-key models like many Town & Country and 300s, the fob goes into the dash slot and a dead battery affects only the remote.
What does adding a spare Chrysler key involve?
Chrysler keys are added with the immobilizer PIN and diagnostic equipment. Some pre-2008 Chryslers had an owner procedure for adding a key with two working keys; later Fobik and proximity models do not.
