Remote Keys
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I just bought another car, used Jeep, as a DD and dog hauler etc.
I only got one key with the car and it is the remote lock, alarm, ignition, all knowing, all doing chipped key. I just checked with a locksmith and they want $140 for a key that will open the doors and start the car, $260 for a remote like I have. Seems like a lot of $$$ for a spare hide a key and one to hang in a cupboard.
My question is, do any of you guys out there know of a way around this mess. I don't care about alarms or remote locking, I'm old but I have enough energy to turn a key in the door. Can the chipped key requirement be by-passed or defeated? I would think that there are plenty of people around that are having this same issue with other cars! Any other suggestions!
Thanks, Terry
