If you can do without the security of a chip key, I have a cheap solution.
The gray key is a proximity key, which means that it only needs to be close enough to the transponder by the switch to communicate. So, go to your local hardware store and have them cut you as many of the cheap black (non chip) keys to fit the switch as you want. Then pull the lower cover off the column and tape or glue the original gray key in there so that the transponder communicates with that original key. Re-install the lower cover and you can use the cheap (black) key that you cut to fit.
Have done this many times.
Master, again and still

Thanks for the info guys. She only has one key for it, so that makes it a little more tricky. Then you have only 2 choices. replace the shell if the key fob itself works Go see your local Mopar dealer. Regardless of what anyone tells you. You can NOT program a key in the field if you only have the one

Key look like so ? if so , I dont think the aftermkt services these as just a shell to replace the plastic. Pretty sure its full key only. I'll tell you ahead of time some dealers may not program these aftermkt keys due to the issues they come with

The local locksmith in our one-horse town of 3200 people can furnish programmed key fobs. I'm guessing someone in your area, other than the dealer, could also.

getX .... issues ? .... Supposedly sometime the keys will "lose" the programming. I've had multiple Ebay aftermarket keys programmed at a locksmith and haven't had a problem so far. The Father in Law has bought some key programming box off ebay and as soon as he brings it over we'll be programming the ebay keys for my 2007 300 SRT8 (which only came with one key). He's used it on his and a few other Chrysler vehicles with no problem so far.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

getX .... issues ? .... Mainly had to be right on top of the car for the fob to unlock the doors and way to short battery life IMO We had customers come back in 3 or 4 months with key issues. After about half dozen come backs over maybe 12-18 month period we refused to cut or program aftermkt keys altogether at the dealership I worked at

I've been suffering with my 05 Durango for a year. Key works, fob not so much. I'm afraid to lock the doors. Hell, closest MoPar dealer is 30 miles away and they are all butt holes.
K.I.S.S.
