How to Program a Dodge Key Fob: A Step-by-Step Guide with Tom's Key Company's EZ Installer™

Nov 16, 2023

Introduction

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed an extra key for your Dodge but didn't know where to start? You're not alone. Programming a new key can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of programming a Dodge key , specifically using Tom's Key Company's EZ Installer™.

Tom's Key EZ Installer

Why You Might Need to Program a Dodge Key

There are several scenarios where you might find yourself in need of a new key. Perhaps you've lost your only key, or maybe you're simply looking for a spare. Having an extra key can be a lifesaver, especially in emergencies. It's always better to be prepared, and that's where Tom's Key Company comes in.

Prerequisites for Using Tom's Key Company's EZ Installer™

Before you dive into the programming process, there are a few things you need to know. First, you must have at least one existing key that already works with your vehicle. Second, the new key blade must be cut before you begin the pairing process. Lastly, ensure that your vehicle's battery is in good condition and fully charged. These steps are crucial for a successful programming experience.

Types of Dodge Keys

Dodge keys come in various forms, each with its own set of features and functionalities:

Traditional Keys

These are your standard metal keys that are cut to fit the ignition of your Dodge. They are the most basic form of keys and do not require any form of programming.

Transponder Keys

These keys come with a transponder chip inside that communicates with your car's ignition system. They need to be programmed to match your car's onboard computer.

Tom's Key Traditional Key

Smart keys, or key fobs, are the latest in key technology. They allow you to start your car without inserting a key into the ignition, usually by pressing a button on the key fob or inside the car.

I have a 2010 Journey.

We got two RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) fobs with the little keys inside to unlock the driver's door only.

Today I had a locksmith cut a backup key for $3 and it works without issue.

I'm going to hide this outside the car.

I have copies of the 2009 and 2010 owners manuals (electronic). The 2009 one discusses how to program additional fobs. The 2010 states "dealer only".

I took a chance and ordered a used FOB, same FCC ID #, from Ebay.

Manuals say a key can not be reprogrammed once they are used on a vehicle.

Is this true? Can I somehow clear the internal programming on the "used" FOB and program it to my car using the 2 other (good) fobs?

Are all of these "warnings" just a way to point customers to the dealer so they can rape us with excessive charges?

How much is the dealer charging to do it for you?
I'm hoping I will be able to accomplish this without any dealer envolvement.

Here is the problem with your idea. The journey is useing Mercedes Technology with the key fobs. Mercedes Technology is almost identical to the BMW technology in the way it works.

That being said, you shoudl check with the dealer to see how many FOB's you can have programed to 1 car. BMW and MBZ only allow you to have 2 FOBS programed to 1 car at any given time. SO if you program another in, it will effectivly "Bump" one of your keys out of sequence and that one key will not start or lock/unlock the doors. They use this as a securty messue as to not have too many active keys out there at one time....SO if you lose a key and buy another fob, they would bump the lost fob out of the system so that a theif cannot steal the car.

the second half of your question, is no, you cannot use a used FOB from another car. It goes back to MBZ and BMW technology. All fobs are programed from factory to your vehicles VIN# when you order. The WIN has the vin# embeded in its programing. IF the vin's do not match, the FOB will not initialize and work in your car.

Again its a security issue.....or any cheap mechanic can get a fob, program it to your car, and have someone steal your car.

Thank you for your insight.

Note that in the 2009 manual, there is a large amount of information on the key process on page 17 including duplication and the fact that you can have up to 8 keys:

I do not believe there are any changes in the 2010 vehicles in this area (no hardware changes) so the process should be the same.

I need to better understand the "new key" vs "previously used key" issue better to know if I can update my used key or how I can clear the memory.

Thank you for your insight. Note that in the 2009 manual, there is a large amount of information on the key process on page 17 including duplication and the fact that you can have up to 8 keys: "Replacement Keys NOTE: Only RKE transmitters that are programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Once a transmitter is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle. At the time of purchase, the original owner is provided with a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure location. This number is required for authorized dealer replacement of RKE transmitters. Duplication of RKE transmitters may be performed at an authorized dealer or by using the Customer Key Programming procedure This procedure consists of programming a blank transmitter to the vehicle electronics. A blank transmitter is one that has never been programmed. NOTE: When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system serviced, bring all vehicle RKE transmitters with you to the authorized dealer. Customer Key Programming If you have two valid RKE transmitters with integrated keys, you can program new transmitters 1. Insert the first valid integrated key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the ON position for at least three seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the first key. 2. Insert the second valid integrated key and turn the ignition switch to the ON position within 15 seconds. After 10 seconds, a chime will sound and the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will begin to flash. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the second key. 3. Insert a blank integrated key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the ON position within 60 seconds. After 10 seconds, a single chime will sound and the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will stop The new integrated key is programmed. The RKE transmitter will also be programmed during this procedure. Repeat this procedure to program up to eight keys. If you do not have a programmed RKE transmitter with integrated key, contact your authorized dealer for details. NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your authorized dealer to have all remaining keys erased from the system’s memory. This will prevent the lost key from starting your vehicle. The remaining keys must then be reprogrammed. All vehicle keys must be taken to an authorized dealer at the time of service to be reprogrammed." I do not believe there are any changes in the 2010 vehicles in this area (no hardware changes) so the process should be the same. I need to better understand the "new key" vs "previously used key" issue better to know if I can update my used key or how I can clear the memory.

I have a 2010 Journey. I bought 2 keys off of ebay that were OEM new and was able to program them using the method described in the 2009 owners manual. The dealer wanted $45 to do program one and $280 for a new one. I payed $89 for the two on Ebay and programed them myself. You have to make sure the part number matches your key. I tried programing one from another source (with no part number on it) and the keyfob part programed but the remote door lock part wouldn't program. You are suppose to be able to have 8 key fobs total.

How To Use The Dodge Journey Remote Start

Red Dodge Journey on a street

The Dodge Journey is a midsize crossover SUV manufactured from 2009 to 2020. Although it’s no longer in new car showrooms, thousands of Journeys are still on the road. Many Journey models came equipped with a handy remote start system, allowing drivers to start their vehicles from a distance with the push of a button or via a smartphone app. Keep reading as we explore everything you need to know about the Dodge Journey remote start feature. You learn about use, troubleshooting, programming, and other essentials.

Dodge Journey Remote Start: Key Fob 

The Dodge Journey remote start system allows you to start the engine up to 80 feet away.  It’s an extremely convenient feature on cold winter mornings or hot summer afternoons when you want the interior temperature to be more comfortable before entering the vehicle.

To use remote start, quickly press the remote start button (a curricular arrow surrounding an “x2” symbol) twice within five seconds and hold the button down on the second try. The engine will start, and the hazard lights will flash to confirm that the car is running. The climate control system will come on based on the current settings. Notably, the car must be locked, and the hood, cargo hatch, and all doors must be closed for the system to activate. 

Your Journey will operate in remote start mode for 15 minutes before shutting down. The remote start system can be used twice (for a total of 30 minutes) before requiring the driver to reset the system by manually restarting the car.

Dodge Journey Remote Start: Uconnect App

The accompanying smartphone app can start newer Dodge Journeys equipped with the Uconnect system. You’ll want to ensure you’re enrolled in the Uconnect service (which requires a subscription fee), the Uconnect app is installed on the phone, and your phone has a cellular or Wi-Fi signal. Similar functionality is available via the Mopar Connect Owner website (moparownerconnect.com).

To start your Journey:

  • Open the app and log in
  • Locate the circular “engine start/stop” icon
  • Press the icon (you may be asked to enter a PIN)
  • The vehicle will start and provide an in-app confirmation
  • Press the icon again if you want to turn off the engine (there may also be a cancel icon)

NOT JUST FOR CAR SHOPPING

The CoPilot app isn’t just for buying a car - our new CoPilot for Owning tool will help you keep track of recalls and gives you advice on which scheduled maintenance tasks are most important.

Dodge Journey Remote Start: Troubleshooting

While using the Dodge Journey remote start system is usually trouble-free, issues can arise that cause problems. Here’s what to be aware of:

  • The remote start feature can be affected by walls or other obstructions. Signal interference can also be trouble. Try moving to a different position if the vehicle is not starting remotely.
  • A weak key fob battery can also affect range. Change the battery if you find the remote start range decreases over time. 
  • Certain conditions will prevent remote start from working, including a check engine light, low fuel indicator, or an alarm signal. These issues may also let the car start but immediately shut down. 
  • Only press the remote start button twice within five seconds. Pressing too many times can confuse the system or cause the engine to turn off. Similarly, avoid sitting on the key fob, which can disrupt remote starting. 

Dodge Journey Remote Start: Safety Tips

Successful use of your Dodge Journey’s remote start system requires following crucial safety precautions: 

  • Review the owner’s manual to get a complete understanding of how the remote start system works.
  • Never remote start your vehicle when it’s in an enclosed space like a garage, which can lead to dangerous carbon monoxide buildup. Remote start should only be used when the car is parked in an open, well-ventilated area. 
  • Ensure the parking brake is engaged before starting remotely to prevent accidental movement. 
  • Be aware of the surroundings before engaging remote start to avoid startling people or pets that might be nearby.
  • Never leave the keys inside a running, unattended vehicle, even if you’ve engaged the remote start. This is an easy target for theft.
  • Confirm that all the windows are up before activating remote start for extra security. 
  • Never remotely start a vehicle needing repair, as problems could worsen.

Using remote start is convenient, but following basic precautions keeps you, your vehicle, and the surroundings secure. Stay alert and be responsible when using this feature.

THE DODGE JOURNEY YEARS TO AVOID

If you’re going to spend money on a car, it should be a great one that will last. Read on to learn more about which  Dodge Journey years to avoid and which one to look at as a potential future investment.

Programming Key Fobs

If you have an unprogrammed replacement key fob or want to add an additional fob, you can program it yourself in most Journey models. The process takes about five minutes and requires two working key fobs. Here are the basic programming steps:

  • Make sure the new unprogrammed fob is within 1-3 feet of the vehicle. 
  • Insert an already programmed fob into the ignition cylinder and turn to the “on” position. 
  • Press the “lock” button on the programmed fob once.
  • Within 10 seconds, press the “lock” button on the unprogrammed fob twice.
  • Turn the ignition back to the “off” position and remove the programmed key fob. 
  • Test that the new fob works by pressing its lock and remote start buttons.

Consult the owner’s manual for your specific Journey year and trim for any variations on these instructions. If programming fails, wait 10 minutes before trying again. You may need to contact an automotive locksmith or a Dodge dealer for additional help. 

Aftermarket Remote Start Systems

If your Dodge Journey didn’t come with remote start, you can still add this handy feature by installing an aftermarket system. Avoid the temptation to buy a cheap unit. Instead, stick with a name brand like Viper, Avital, or Compustar. You’ll be less likely to encounter installation problems or issues that can damage your car’s electrical system. 

Prices for a quality system will run $200–$500 before installation costs. Unless you’re an experienced installer, spend the money to have a professional add the remote starter to your car. 

Here are some features to look for:

  • Extended range: some aftermarket systems can reach up to 1,500 feet 
  • Custom features: options include adjustable timers or smartphone app controls
  • Warranty: Look for coverage that provides at least one year of protection on parts (the installer should also offer a warranty on their services)

An aftermarket solution can provide the convenience and comfort of remote start in your Dodge Journey without the factory option.
