In this video I show you how easy (and HARD) it is to add a new key for your late model Jeep. This process is likely similar for a variety of videos... so check out the link I share in the video for detailed instructions for whatever vehicle you have. These are the keys I am adding: http://amzn.to/2yroqbV. You can also get versions of these keys with the transceiver (buttons) and the programming steps are the same.
I added these keys because since I installed the Omega Excalibur alarm system, I no longer need the large factory Jeep key. This allows me to save some bulk and weight in my pocket.

Hey CPO, do they need to be the two original keys? I bought the jeep used, and it only had one key, not sure if its original but it looks like it is, it has the buttons on it. I then had a transponder key made at the jeep dealer, so I had a spare key. So my question is do I need both original ones? Or is the transponder that jeep cut and programmed ok?
ReplyDeleteThanks CPO
Jimmy Tierney they do not have to be original. They just have to be programmed. it's a subtle distinction but another way to make a key work is to clone an existing key. Using a clone key will not work with this process, but a properly programmed key such as the way I'm doing it in this video, or the way a dealer would do it, will work. I hope that helps! Based on what you said, you should have no problem.
ReplyDeleteDo the years matter? I have an 07. Also, I love the vids, and cant wait to see more videos of yours and cj's tj!
ReplyDeleteWow, that was fast! I just posted on an earlier video that I was looking forward to the next video, this one came out 5 minutes later.Excellent video again, many thanks!
ReplyDeleteAlways awesome videos from you :).... are you going to do the follow up video of the alarm system and your feed back and how things are working out with it....I just ordered the alarm system and also when will you connect the proximity sensor ? Waiting on your videos :)
ReplyDeleteJimmy Tierney as far as I'm aware... It's the same for 2007 and up. Hoping to get some work done on CJ's Jeep this weekend. We've been so busy with football and Lacrosse. He has a tournament Saturday, but we're going to try and make some progress on Sunday.
ReplyDelete+upnboy that's how I roll! Lol
ReplyDelete+Sunny Sharif ha. Yeah... Hopefully this weekend you'll see a couple more videos on programming and features. Not positive I'll have time to install the process sensor, but it will be soon!
ReplyDeleteDamn i was hoping you could do it with one factory original key
ReplyDeleteYou can't do this without TWO programmed keys - but one can be factory and the second aftermarket....but based on your comment, it sounds like you only have one key. That, I believe, requires a trip to the dealer and they program it using your VIN.
ReplyDeleteAnd thats what im gonna have to do i got my jk from a chevy dealership and only got one key
ReplyDeleteYeah... sorry.... they do that so you can't just "borrow" someone's key from their purse or pocket and program a new key without them knowing it. Sucks in your case tho.
ReplyDeleteMy 2016 would give out the beep tones for some reason but it worked when I did it last year. Had the keys cut near my patrol area where I work. Guess it helps to walk into the store in uniform lol. I ended up getting a large magnetic hideaway box from them for my fifth key. Felt like it was the right thing to do when they wouldn’t take my money to cut my blanks.
ReplyDeleteOh and thanks no more background music I rather listen to you explain everything you do step by step nice work again CPO
Thanks! And yea...that uniform certainly didn't hurt! lol
ReplyDeletelast question, do you know how many keys can be programmed to a jeep?
ReplyDeleteis there a limit?
Jimmy Tierney I honestly don't know. I currently have 4 programmed to mine.
ReplyDeleteWhat happens if you only have one key
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to go to a dealer and have them program a second key (or whatever additional keys you want) for you. Unfortunately. If anyone else knows of a way around this, please let me know...but I think that's your only option.
ReplyDeleteHey cpo, I bought a transponder key with the buttons, had it cut at a lock Smith for $5, and programmed it up and it works! Thanks for the video!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thanks for letting me know!
ReplyDeleteHello I have a 2017 jeep wrangler with two original keys I tried programming a blank myself using your instructions but I turned on the blank key after I thought it programmed and it only started for like 10 seconds...what are your thoughts
ReplyDeleteMark That means it wasnt programming successfully. Try it again. Give more time between steps. Watch the light to see if it's responding..
ReplyDeleteOVERCLOCK3D Jeeps the keys I bought were y164pt, I wonder if they are the right ones....?
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for sharing. I just ordered two sets thru your link.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!
