Called around and it was 200+ for a fob and another 100+ for a transponder key. This video saved me a lot of searching. For how the transponder worked. Thank you! I did just end up buying fobs for a few bucks on amazon and only a single doorman kit. All in I’m 80 bucks for the doorman programmer, 2 fobs, 2 uncut keys, and I’ll do the same transponder zip tie method as you!

The zip tie idea classic thumbs up smart move by passing the skim feature !

As much as you love your WJs, you should just get a DRBIII and get the vehicle PIN from your local stealership service dept (free with proof of ownership). You may the program real transponder keys and new fobs, simple as pie.

If you get a ECU you can have it programmed with skim delete just a little FYI Jeep Bros 😉 Great video Dan H . Finally a Dorman product that works 👍

Hey Dan. I did this last summer for my 2.7 crd WJ/WG. But I rememoved chip from old key and there is a little space for it in new case, nearby of the rotation cener of case. I have the same key case as you. I did that from a spare part key I bought on UK ebay for a few £. Important is mhz value!!! For reprogramming fob I used wjdiagpro android app (developed primary for merc. crds costs around 20$) and simple obd scanner for 5$ also must be compatible!!! Just wanted to tell you that it can be done much more cheapest. Thanks for the vids. Good job

I have an OBD2 Bluetooth adapter and I use an app called OBD JScan. It allows you to read and adjust a lot of parameters on the computer as well as program new keys. It's $23.99 per VIN but the price goes down the more licenses you buy at once. It may or may not work on older Jeeps. Either way it has a bunch of fantastic features. You can download and try the app, there is a demo mode so you can see what there is for all of the supported vehicles. I just checked but unfortunately the WJ is not supported but it could be someday.

I don’t know if this works with Jeeps since I only have one. With older Fords, you can cut a key for two vehicles. Our family had several in the past. Just cut the key on one side for each vehicle. You still have to worry about the chip and which side of the key starts the car you’re in but at least it’s one less key to carry

Inserted the coathanger with shoelace and as I pushed the coathanger in and down I worked the shoelace towards the sideview mirror. When I got the coathanger on the "Unlock button" I Gently pulled on the shoelace toward the sideview mirror and popped the door open. PS: I DID NOT have any sort of "plastic clipboard"!
