Dodge Key Replacement in Houston

Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Durango represent a big percentage of Dodge key and fob service our Houston mechanics perform. Dodge has a lot in common in terms of key and security systems with other brands of Stellantis Group such as Chrysler, Jeep and Ram, but the specific system may differ depending on the car and its year of manufacture. Our company Paul Car Key Houston offers you the opportunity to cut and program your Dodge key or fob right where your vehicle is standing. It is especially convenient for sports cars and SUVs as it does not require towing to the place of service.

Which Dodge Key You Have

Grand Caravan, Journey, Durango, Hornet, Charger and Challenger.

The key systems used in Dodge have definitely evolved throughout the years, as the earlier Dodge vehicles relied on simple metal keys with a transponder chip and were relatively easy to cut and program, through newer models that use key fobs and smart proximity keys, that allow for remote start and other features like remote access and car climate control. The security and key registration systems in newer Dodge models are also linked to the other electronic components within the vehicle, in case of key recognition issues after specific electrical work is done in the car, reprogramming of the key is required rather than its replacement.

The Fob That Is Tired Rather Than Dead

Many Dodge remote car key fob issues are related to mechanical wear as opposed to failure of electronic parts, which involves the casing of the fob starting to peel off, the buttons wearing out so that they need increased pressure to work, or the emergency blade becoming loose in the casing, however none of the above conditions necessarily implies that you will have to replace the entire fob. If all of the electronic parts such as the circuit board and transponder are working fine, they can be relocated to a new fob housing and keep their original programming.

The Second Fob Still in a Drawer

This spare Dodge fob that has just been gathering dust in your drawer or even in the package it came in might save you some time and money. This is especially true for Charger or Challenger models, because there could possibly be a spare fob kept away and overlooked somewhere in the house, however if you find a functional key before our technician arrives, then creating a new one will become much easier, faster and less costly, but in case that all of the keys are missing, a new one may still be created and programmed right at the car.

Remote Start and the Second Press

With regard to the issue that the remote start feature does not function with your Dodge Charger or Dodge Durango, the solution is pretty straightforward. In the first place, you need to press the right button combination in accordance with your vehicle model. In case remote start does not work, the issue could be with the battery of the key fob which is wearing out, this problem can be resolved without having to replace the entire fob.
