Great video. Do the 2018+ Grand Cherokee's still need that OBD 2 programming module? I noticed that module shows up on your website for the 2014-2017, but not for the 2018-2022 models.

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out. Different vehicle years can indeed have different programming steps. To assist you better with your specific model, could you please send us an email at [e-mail]? We’d be happy to provide you with more detailed information. Thank you

[@chriskaosmusic]

I have an 18 as well. Did you find out the answer to your question?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@chriskaosmusic I did not. Mine is actually a ‘21 and I have 2 fobs, but I came across this video and was just curious since it never hurts to have more spares lol. Needless to say, I haven’t had to email them.

I have a 2019 JGC limited only one of the 2 key fobs stopped working but only the key detected part is not functioning but on that fob it remote starts locks and unlocks the doors the other fob works perfectly what do u think is the problem??

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

Based on the information you've provided, it appears that there might be an issue with the key detection component of one of your key fobs for your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Since the remote start, locking, and unlocking functions are working fine on that fob, the problem may be specific to the key detection or transponder component. To diagnose the issue and potentially resolve it, you may consider checking the battery in the faulty fob to see if it has sufficiently charged. A weak or depleted battery can affect key detection. Carefully inspect the non-functioning key fob for any physical damage, such as a cracked casing or damaged key blade. Physical damage could impact the key's functionality. Attempt to reprogram the key fob that's not working for key detection. There might be a simple synchronization issue that can be resolved through reprogramming. If you've exhausted all troubleshooting options and your key fob's key detection component is still not functioning correctly, it may be time to consider getting a replacement key fob.

[@RicardoDenneson]

@@TomsKeyCompany-DIY My original fob worked as it should. I purchased the simple key kit and followed the instructions precisely, connecting the OBD connector with ribbon cable and dial selector on 3 for my 2017 Cherokee. The new fob wouldn't connect after 3 tries (does nothing) and now my original fob will remote start, lock and unlock but car won't detect the fob - have to push the start button with the fob. Door won't unlock when I touch it with my hand and remote in my pocket either. What should I do to get my original fob back working the way it was? (fresh batteries in everything)

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

@@RicardoDenneson Sorry to hear you ran into this issue. Occassionally something unexpected happens since each vehicle has past history and unique situations. We recommend you start by calling 888-598-8910 for tech support. I'm not sure what time they close, but I just tried and someone was there to help.

[@stephanieminicozzi1619]

I don’t understand, can I just try this or do I need the programmer you have in the video ?

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

Hi! First, you need one working key that starts your vehicle to make a spare for your vehicle and yes, you also need a programmer too. To know what programmer is best for your vehicle follow Tom’s Key vehicle selection tool at tomskey.com. Once you input your vehicle's information you will be given the best options for your vehicle, this includes the type of programmer needed for your vehicle

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

Hi there! You’ll need the programmer shown in the video. To check which keys and programmers are compatible with your vehicle, visit our website- tomskey.com/? and use the Key Finder tool. 😊

[@daltonpeloso8958]

Will this work for a 20 grand since the key looks the same as the 2018?

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

Unfortunately not. Sorry. But come to TomsKey.com and check the "Cant Find My Vehicle" link where we can send you to partners that can help

Great video but during this sequence my Jeep Grand Cherokee 2014 key fob would not pair up until I pressed the LOCK button, not the UNLOCK button.

[@MobileDJGold]

Does the car recognize the new key as a different key? (Driver 1 & 2 settings?)

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

Hello, the key from Tom's Key Company is a default one, and the owner should set it on their own once it is programmed. You may link the new key to each profile and look it up in your owner's manual. Pls. reach out to us at [e-mail] for further assistance.

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

Hi there! Currently, this is the only option we have for your 2020 Jeep Cherokee: tomskey.com/products/like-new-refurbished-oem-4-button-smart-key-with-remote-start-for-jeep-cherokee-vehicles-jeepsk-4b-rs-gq4-54t-refurb?variant=45580302156029. However, please note that there is currently no do-it-yourself programming solution available for this key. You will need to contact a local car dealership or automotive locksmith for assistance in programming it to your vehicle.

[@viliankossev2344]

Is the program updated to program a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee (older model)?

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

Unfortunately no. Jeep made some changes in 2018 that we don't yet have a good DIY solution for. Not sure when we'll have one. Your best bet may be checking our partnerships on this page to see what it may cost. tomskey.com/pages/cant-find-my-vehicle

[@iamyahiaali]

Hey I bought a used key fob on eBay for my dodge can I still program it. I don’t know if it’s still programmed to the person I bought it from.

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

It might program, it might not. Depends if that particular fob requires being wiped clean before it can be re-programmed. Some brands it's as simple as programming to your vehicle and it will work. Others it requires a lot of effort to erase the prior vehicle from the key fob memory. I just don't know for this one. Order the kit - it comes with the programmer and one fob. You'll be able to get the fob from the kit programmed. Then you can try programming the one from eBay and you might end up with 2 spares.

[@iamyahiaali]

@@TomsKeyCompany-DIY thank you so much I think I’m going to order the kit and try them both like u said

[@randallpoissant5477]

Nowhere does it state that it only works up to 2018

My original key works only when i place it in the ignition(push to start doesnt work due to damaged key) could i still program a new key?

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

Hi there! Please email [e-mail]

[@TomsKeyCompany]

Yes - even if your existing key is damaged, it still starts the engine so you can drive. So, yes you can use the kit to program a new spare key.

[@amazingxl.5308]

Question es. How much is the programer

[@stealthmanx2]

You don't mention this in the video, but the programmer isn't some5hing you buy, you are essentially getting it on loan and need to return for core. Is this so.ething new, or did i go to the wrong section on the website?

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

It depends on the vehicle. Some have a programmer you will own and keep. Others are more expensive so we rent then out since most people only need it once. So it depends on which vehicle you are making a key for.

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

Most our Jeep programmers are ones you still keep and own in car you ever need it again for the same vehicle

[@stealthmanx2]

@TomsKeyCompany-DIY thanks for the response. It is actually for a Durango, but saw the Jeep which is pretty close I believe.

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

@@stealthmanx2 Looks like the 2014-2017 Durango uses a rental programmer and the 2013 and newer have programmers that will be owned by the customer.

[@anthonyshelly4718]

I went on to order a key fob and programmer for my 2018 Grand Cherokee. Do I have to rent the programmer? I figured I would be buying it and then have it if I needed another key for that vehicle in the future.

[@TomsKeyCompany-DIY]

For Jeep Grand Cherokee 2018-2022, the EZ Installer™ Programmer will NOT work. You must contact a local car dealership or automotive locksmith for assistance in programming it to your vehicle (additional cost). Currently, we don't have a DIY solution for this key, but you can purchase the key from us and have it programmed at a dealership or by a local locksmith.

[@TomsKeyCompany]

FYI - you'll probably save money on buying the OEM key fob from us and then taking to dealership or local locksmith to program.

[@MazichMusic]

I'll bet that was a former rental vehicle. I went through this last winter when I bought a used 2020 Pacifica that was a former Enterprise vehicle. My C-J salesperson told me they never get two dibs when they but rental vehicles. I had the dealer make an OEM fob up for under $290. No other sources in my area were equipped to do the job. BTW, I live in a suburb of Detroit.

Hi! Most of our programmers are available as rentals with a fully refundable security deposit, so you can program your key without purchasing the device. However, our Simple Key kits are designed for purchase and include both the programmer and key.
