[@EMINOR1982]

does auto start come standard of all 2010 TC or does it depend on the model/trim?

[@BigSkidMedia]

@@EMINOR1982 depends on the options. It's not standard.

[@johnjohn2117]

I got a question... I saw u use all the buttons.. after u reprogram it.. thata great.. but what about the automatic start button do it work too. I have a dodge an my automatic start on my remote just started not double beeping a month ago.. it start up reg way find tho.. but the automatic start button on fob wont turn it on.. so. Before I go pay a arm in leg at dealership i was wondering when u reprogrammed ur new remote did the auto start work as well...???

[@ccfreedomseekerconstitutio8767]

What if you ONLY have one key

[@BigSkidMedia]

@@ccfreedomseekerconstitutio8767 Can't start the programming part of the sequence unless you have two keys.

[@aprilfitzgerald5461]

We couldn't get our 2010 T&C to go into programming mode - maybe because it's a different trim level than the video. Instead, we took the (already programmed) circuit board out of the old Fob and switched it over to a new Fob we bought off the internet. That circumvented the problem of needing to do programming and solved the loose touchpads issue we were experiencing. It's a solution that will work for those of you who only have one working Fob. (To summarize: take the green circuit board from your old Fob and put it into a new Fob. That way you don't have to do any programming of the new Fob. It's already done.) Hope that helps someone out there! :)

[@معاني-ض8ل]

What is the advantage of this

[@Mr.Martin4500]

​@@معاني-ض8ل He said originally the old key fob had became hard to use because the touch pads were worn. So he took the circuit board from the old key-fob and installed it into the new key-fob. It works for him because the only problem was with the exterior part of the key-fob, and didn't have to program a new one because his particular van didn't have the same upgrade from the factory. Hopefully I didn't make the explanation more difficult to understand Sir.

[@mrm3k]

This is the comment that actually helped me. The video didn't work.

[@khardencooper]

I did it today 10/20/2024 and worked perfectly with a set of 2 fobs i got from Amazon for $25. Thanks for this video

[@shadowmanmc1130]

I’m having no luck I only get the red blinking light with the new fob not with the old two original fobs

[@khardencooper]

​@@shadowmanmc1130sorry it didn't worked for you. When I was looking and researching about programming fobs, I read it requires from old fobs batteries to be working, so I replace both fobs batteries before try it, and it worked. Hope this could bring a useful trip. God bless you!

[@GiovanniPriolo-xo4ld]

@@shadowmanmc1130yes! Me too! Just tried and I couldn’t let it go in programming mode. Have you tried something else?

[@drwells]

Just referenced this video for the second time in 3 years. It works! If you happen to start the van or bump the alarm button pulling a key out you have to start the process all over again.

[@deanhenthorn1890]

After following theses instructions I got mine fixed!! Apparently after talking to the Dealer I found out how to actually fix this!

[@tabbzg943]

How

[@MariaGarcia-rn2xt]

The light won't stop blinking. Do you just have to wait for it to stop blinking?

[@johnledgeway3522]

I live in the UK and have the Grand Voyager which is identical to the Town & Country. For some reason it didn't go into program mode even with the 2 original keys, however I bought 2 keys from the US for $26 and took my old key apart and replaced components with new ones and kept the original chip and it works great. Not the outcome I was hoping for but I have 2 working keys.

[@BigSkidMedia]

That's really interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@Centar1964]

Ya I did the same thing...

[@TheDeanosaurus]

Did the same! For anyone seeing this the circuit board is just sitting in the rubber top part. That rubber top part has little “coin” pieces glued to the inside that act as contactors for the buttons. In my case time and moisture had caused those to come unglued and short the buttons which caused it to unlock and go nuts. I did learn about the window roll down feature which was nice but yea all I did was move the circuit board to the new fob with fresh contactors and it worked like a charm. I kept the backplate since it has the original Chrysler logo but used the new rubber and front plate.

[@معاني-ض8ل]

It seem that the rubber pad is the problem I have the same issue 3 years ago,My old fob had no function for lock & unlock but still function for turn the engine on I bought a new 2 fobs from dealer he programmed them I tried the same method in this video it doesn't work About 3 weeks ago the same thing happened with the 1st new fob, so I had to use the 2nd one

[@jamessobetski9795]

Thanks!! Ihad one remote battery went dead and lost its programing. New battery would not do anything until I used your programming method. The light did not always come on but process still worked.

[@TomUlcak]

I only have one key fob left. I use the hidden key to get in my 2010 Chrysler Town and Country. Can I program two new fobs just using the one old one?

[@donato0909]

Can you do it if you only have one key?

[@BrokeTheInterweb]

We just bought a used 2010 and the FOB battery had been dead for the better part of a decade. I replaced the battery but it's clearly not programmed (it starts the ignition but none of the buttons work). It's the only key we were given. Are we stuck having to go to a dealer and pay them to reprogram it if we don't have a second working FOB?

[@BigSkidMedia]

You can go to a locksmith for a cheaper option

[@kenshort6088]

Great video, but why won't this work on my 2010 T & C? I followed your directions to the letter and my new fobs will not program, any clues? Thank you.

[@pdibenedetto01]

This will work ONLY IF you have not had the recall regarding the ignition where the fob is inserted fixed. Once that is done you can no longer program fobs. Just bought a used 2010 but apparently they went in for the recall and I can't program extra keys.

[@BigSkidMedia]

I had the recall done on my van, can't remember if it was before or after. There is a max number of keys that can be added as well.

I have tried several different seconds and method but once I insert one of the new keys the immobilizer just sits and flashes and can not start the vehicle.

[@jessicag6954]

I only have 1, you have to have 2 and then the replacement to do this?

[@josephnazzaro5064]

Please note that, if you have a key fob that is "quirky" or doesn't seem to be working right, you may not have to "program" a new one. It is very possible that the "electronics" are ok and the problem is deterioration of the "physical" components (the most frequent problem is that the little disks under the rubber "buttons" [used to activate each feature] become detached and float around inside the key fob). If you have trouble "activating" a new key fob, try just swapping the circuit board from the old key fob into the new key fob case [remove the existing, old, "cut" "emergency" key by sliding the release button and pulling the key out, then use a thin knife or shim to force the front of the old key fob case to separate it from the back]. Remove the new "uncut" emergency key from the new key fob and open the case as above. Swap the old "already programmed" circuit board into the new case. Snap the front and back pieces of the new case together and insert the old "cut" emergency key to the new case. If the "old" electronics are ok, the new case/old electronics should work just fine.

[@BigSkidMedia]

This is true. Good comment.

He turned me on to this video I went through the sequenc With my factory key and it reprogrammed the OEM key.

[@mommafo]

Does your key fob have the removable key? I got locked out of one today and was able to use that to manually unlock the door.

[@MM-ej2du]

@@mommafo Hi from the U.K. Yes I had that problem, & had to get in to the vehicle using the slide out metal key in the door lock. As the alarm goes off when you do this, and open the door, then you have to get the remote into the ignition quickly to get the alarm to stop.

[@MM-ej2du]

Hi David Rodriguez When my Grand Voyager/Town & Country would not open it was because of an issue with the remote, & we were away on holiday. The remote was playing up, & had to be taken apart, & rebuilt. So I also put a new battery in it at the same time. Therefore when I was with the car again, after rebuilding it in the hotel room it would not open it. So I had to open it up as mentioned above with the slide out key.

I tried this on my 2010 Town and Country. After putting in the 2nd working key, it would ding, but not go into program mode. If I would put an unprogrammed key in next, it would then go into program mode. I completed the sequence four times, but could never get the new keys programmed. I also tried putting 1st old key, 2nd old key, then 1st old key to see if the third key inserted would put it into program mode but it did not. It would not go into program mode with an older, working key.

That's a good point actually. My original OEM factory keys were in such bad shape that they were held together with that horrible green tape and one of them didn't have working buttons at all. However, the ignition was able to recognize it as a programmed factory key and I was then able to reprogram, just as you apparently did yourself.

[@Vumes2]

It's because the ignition recognizes the chip in the key. The battery is simply for the buttons to work. HTH.
