For over 50 years, Terry’s Locksmiths has been a trusted name on the Gold Coast, renowned for our extensive expertise in automotive locksmith services. Among the wide range of vehicles we handle, Chrysler models—spanning various years and technologies—benefit from our specialized skills and state-of-the-art tools. In this article, we’ll delve into the specific services we provide for Chrysler vehicles, highlighting key challenges and solutions that you may encounter with your Chrysler car keys, ignition systems, and door locks.
Expertise in Chrysler Vehicle Key Services
Remote Keys and Proximity Functions
At Terry’s Locksmiths, we understand that Chrysler vehicles often come equipped with advanced key systems, including remote and proximity keys. However, it’s crucial to note that our remote keys do not support proximity functions. For Chrysler models that require proximity capabilities, such as those from 2018 onwards, an original key must be used. This limitation is due to the fact that proximity systems are sophisticated and require specific coding that aftermarket keys cannot replicate.
For Chrysler vehicles built after 2018, including models from Jeep and Dodge, the proximity functionality necessitates a special 12+8 cable to interface with the IMMO box using Autel tools. This advanced setup allows us to program keys accurately and ensure seamless integration with the vehicle’s security system.
Key Programming and Replacement
Whether you’ve lost your keys or need a spare, Terry’s Locksmiths offers comprehensive key programming services for Chrysler vehicles. Our services include:
- Key Replacement: If your Chrysler key is lost or damaged, we can provide a replacement key and program it to work with your vehicle’s security system.
- Key Programming: Using advanced diagnostic tools like Autel, we program new keys to match your vehicle’s unique coding.
- Emergency Key Services: For situations where you’ve lost all keys, we can generate and program new keys, ensuring you regain access to your vehicle swiftly.
Ignition and Door Lock Issues
Chrysler vehicles, like many modern cars, can experience a range of ignition and door lock problems. Our services address common issues such as:
- Ignition System Repairs: If your ignition is malfunctioning, we can diagnose and repair or replace ignition components to restore proper function.
- Door Lock Repairs: Whether you’re facing problems with electronic locks or traditional key-operated locks, our team can troubleshoot and fix door lock issues to ensure your vehicle is secure.
Challenges and Solutions
Key Programming Challenges
Programming keys for Chrysler vehicles, especially those equipped with advanced security systems, can be complex. One common challenge involves vehicles that require special tools and cables, particularly for models from 2018 and newer. Our skilled locksmiths are equipped with the latest technology and have the expertise to handle these challenges effectively, ensuring that we meet your needs without unnecessary delays.
Addressing Proximity Key Limitations
As noted earlier, aftermarket remote keys cannot replicate proximity functions. This limitation requires us to work with original keys for proximity features. By understanding this constraint, we provide clear guidance and solutions to ensure you get the appropriate key for your Chrysler vehicle.
