I recently bought a 2015 Cherokee, but it only came with one key fob. I know the dealer can get me another one, but likely at a cost of several hundred dollars.
Is anybody familiar with any other low(er) cost options? Any way to order one online using your vehicle vin #?

I’d check the dealer had one for my truck for under 50 but that was a few years back but they weren’t near as technical as today’s keys are.

Good luck finding a cheaper option. |

My wife's Fusion came with just one Key. Since she had the key where ever she took it was able to teach her car to accept the new key. She went cheap on the new one so she has to manually unlock the doors and trunk otherwise it was a LOT more. I will check with her as to where she got it. I think maybe Hires???

Yeah, that would be fine, I really just want a spare in case I lose the primary one. |

Might have to do that though and cough up the $$. |

Some locksmiths can make them as well. Usually cheaper than the dealer too.

Yeah the. You don’t need a key cause it’ll be in shop so much you won’t get to drive it. |

Buy one of the 30$ ones on eBay and look for a YouTube video See what happens I'm pretty sure I won't go this route again! I did this a few years ago and got the wrong fob. eBayer was cool about it and sent another. Wrong one again. I ended up going to our local locksmith (Bob's Master Safe & Lock) a few miles down the road and for a few extra bucks for a new fob, everything worked out just fine. A few months ago, my wife lost a spare set of keys to her Buick (fob and chip key). I got a new set set and it only took them a few minutes to program everything. The next day, the fob wouldn't work. I took it back to Bob's and he got a new fob. Problem again as it wouldn't program. The tech looked a little closer at the Mfr name on the working fob and realized the new one he was programming was from a different source. He went back in the shop and found a fob with the same Mfr name as the working fob. Programmed in a few minutes and it has been fine ever since! |

A little off the subject, but my son has a Camry with key fob and travels around the country working. Some areas he is in there is radio interference and the fob doesn’t work unless it’s held right next to the starter button. Happened every time he went to a job in San Antonio Texas.

I saw a commercial for batteries plus last night and they mentioned key fobs. Might be worth a look.

Ordered one for Mom and Dad's Chrysler minivan a couple months back from Ebay for $10.00, CHEAP!!!! They went to the local dealer they visit for everything and they programmed it for free. |
