How to Program a Dodge Key Fob: A Step-by-Step Guide with Tom's Key Company's EZ Installer™

Introduction.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed an extra key for your Dodge but didn't know where to start? You're not alone. Programming a new key can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of programming a Dodge key, specifically using Tom's Key Company's EZ Installer™.

Why You Might Need to Program a Dodge Key

There are several scenarios where you might find yourself in need of a new key. Perhaps you've lost your only key, or maybe you're simply looking for a spare. Having an extra key can be a lifesaver, especially in emergencies. It's always better to be prepared, and that's where Tom's Key Company comes in.

Prerequisites for Using Tom's Key Company's EZ Installer™

Before you dive into the programming process, there are a few things you need to know. First, you must have at least one existing key that already works with your vehicle. Second, the new key blade must be cut before you begin the pairing process. Lastly, ensure that your vehicle's battery is in good condition and fully charged. These steps are crucial for a successful programming experience.

Types of Dodge Keys

Dodge keys come in various forms, each with its own set of features and functionalities:

Traditional Keys

These are your standard metal keys that are cut to fit the ignition of your Dodge. They are the most basic form of keys and do not require any form of programming.

Transponder Keys

These keys come with a transponder chip inside that communicates with your car's ignition system. They need to be programmed to match your car's onboard computer.

Smart keys, or key fobs, are the latest in key technology. They allow you to start your car without inserting a key into the ignition, usually by pressing a button on the key fob or inside the car.

Tools Needed for Dodge Key Programming

To program your Dodge key, you'll need the following:

• A working Dodge key
• A new Dodge key with a cut blade
• Tom's Key Company's EZ Installer™

Step-by-Step Guide to Dodge Key Programming with Tom's Key Company's EZ Installer™

Programming a new Dodge key is a two-step process: KEY ACTIVATION and KEY PAIRING. Here's how to do it:

• Insert a working key and turn the ignition to the ON position.
• Plug the EZ Installer™ cable into the OBDII port.
• Press and release the button on the EZ Installer™. You will hear a beep.
• Follow the time-sensitive steps as prompted by the EZ Installer™.
• Insert the new key and turn the ignition to the ON position.
• Wait for the EZ Installer™ to beep twice, then turn OFF the ignition.
• Turn the ignition to the ON position again with the same key.
• After 10 seconds, the EZ Installer™ will beep twice, signaling a successful pairing.

For a more detailed guide, please refer to the instructions provided with your EZ Installer™.

I have a 2010 Journey.

We got two RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) fobs with the little keys inside to unlock the driver's door only.

Today I had a locksmith cut a backup key for $3 and it works without issue.

I'm going to hide this outside the car.

I have copies of the 2009 and 2010 owners manuals (electronic). The 2009 one discusses how to program additional fobs. The 2010 states "dealer only".

I took a chance and ordered a used FOB, same FCC ID #, from Ebay.

Manuals say a key can not be reprogrammed once they are used on a vehicle.

Is this true? Can I somehow clear the internal programming on the "used" FOB and program it to my car using the 2 other (good) fobs?

Are all of these "warnings" just a way to point customers to the dealer so they can rape us with excessive charges?

How much is the dealer charging to do it for you?

I'm hoping I will be able to accomplish this without any dealer envolvement.

Here is the problem with your idea. The journey is useing Mercedes Technology with the key fobs. Mercedes Technology is almost identical to the BMW technology in the way it works.

That being said, you shoudl check with the dealer to see how many FOB's you can have programed to 1 car. BMW and MBZ only allow you to have 2 FOBS programed to 1 car at any given time. SO if you program another in, it will effectivly "Bump" one of your keys out of sequence and that one key will not start or lock/unlock the doors. They use this as a securty messue as to not have too many active keys out there at one time....SO if you lose a key and buy another fob, they would bump the lost fob out of the system so that a theif cannot steal the car.

the second half of your question, is no, you cannot use a used FOB from another car. It goes back to MBZ and BMW technology. All fobs are programed from factory to your vehicles VIN# when you order. The WIN has the vin# embeded in its programing. IF the vin's do not match, the FOB will not initialize and work in your car.

Again its a security issue.....or any cheap mechanic can get a fob, program it to your car, and have someone steal your car.

Thank you for your insight.

Note that in the 2009 manual, there is a large amount of information on the key process on page 17 including duplication and the fact that you can have up to 8 keys:

I do not believe there are any changes in the 2010 vehicles in this area (no hardware changes) so the process should be the same.

I need to better understand the "new key" vs "previously used key" issue better to know if I can update my used key or how I can clear the memory.

Thank you for your insight. Note that in the 2009 manual, there is a large amount of information on the key process on page 17 including duplication and the fact that you can have up to 8 keys: "Replacement Keys NOTE: Only RKE transmitters that are programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Once a transmitter is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle. At the time of purchase, the original owner is provided with a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure location. This number is required for authorized dealer replacement of RKE transmitters. Duplication of RKE transmitters may be performed at an authorized dealer or by using the Customer Key Programming procedure This procedure consists of programming a blank transmitter to the vehicle electronics. A blank transmitter is one that has never been programmed. NOTE: When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system serviced, bring all vehicle RKE transmitters with you to the authorized dealer. Customer Key Programming If you have two valid RKE transmitters with integrated keys, you can program new transmitters 1. Insert the first valid integrated key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the ON position for at least three seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the first key. 2. Insert the second valid integrated key and turn the ignition switch to the ON position within 15 seconds. After 10 seconds, a chime will sound and the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will begin to flash. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the second key. 3. Insert a blank integrated key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the ON position within 60 seconds. After 10 seconds, a single chime will sound and the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will stop The new integrated key is programmed. The RKE transmitter will also be programmed during this procedure. Repeat this procedure to program up to eight keys. If you do not have a programmed RKE transmitter with integrated key, contact your authorized dealer for details. NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your authorized dealer to have all remaining keys erased from the system’s memory. This will prevent the lost key from starting your vehicle. The remaining keys must then be reprogrammed. All vehicle keys must be taken to an authorized dealer at the time of service to be reprogrammed." I do not believe there are any changes in the 2010 vehicles in this area (no hardware changes) so the process should be the same. I need to better understand the "new key" vs "previously used key" issue better to know if I can update my used key or how I can clear the memory.

I have a 2010 Journey. I bought 2 keys off of ebay that were OEM new and was able to program them using the method described in the 2009 owners manual. The dealer wanted $45 to do program one and $280 for a new one. I payed $89 for the two on Ebay and programed them myself. You have to make sure the part number matches your key. I tried programing one from another source (with no part number on it) and the keyfob part programed but the remote door lock part wouldn't program. You are suppose to be able to have 8 key fobs total.

The key fobs worked perfectly for my 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab

Dan Cunningham (verified owner) – April 10, 2024

Absolutely the best customer service, along with a high quality product. Very good price. I had the ability to program the fob with my scanner and had no issues, works great. I read that many people had issues with other fobs purchased via eBay and Amazon getting the remote start to work. No issues whatsoever with this fob. Highly recommend NorthCoast.

Wayne (verified owner) – April 3, 2024

Excellent service and Product, an OEM Product that I just got programmed from an automotive locksmith with no problems. Much cheaper than going through the dealership. Very Happy customer

Vale Hanzel (verified owner) – April 1, 2024

I spent a whopping 7 minutes doing a search and found this place. Had the key fob that I needed, ordered it and recieved it within 10 days. HOWEVER, the card inside gives you a web lookup for places to take your FOB to be programmed. One of those places is ACE Hardware they will program IF you buy the FOB from them first other then that your best bet is the dealer. Mine is a Dodge Ram, cost – $157…

Jn (verified owner) – March 9, 2024

Exactly what they said it would be great quality.

BT – March 3, 2024

Bought many fobs from Northcoast key. Great product. Good pricing . Excellent service!! Will definitely buy again!!!

Ashton (verified owner) – March 2, 2024

Saves you a lot of money & a lot of time ! Shop from northcoast they never disappoint EVER !

Vince (verified owner) – February 27, 2024

I have read some reviews on here saying that there keys didn’t work right. Dodge keys I have found are very specific to model year and function of the fob. Double check and make sure you are getting the right one. I have had zero issues with the fob that I got and very thankful that I have found a source for good quality fob’s and I don’t have to go to the dealership and pay their ridiculous prices. Thank You North Coast Keyless.

Max (verified owner) – February 20, 2024

I ordered 4 keys with chips and it only took a few days and I had them. Great service. I had the keys cut and they work perfectly in the locks. Now I need to find someone to program the keys. Once this is done, I will need to obtain a one button engine start FOB to complete my trucks needs. My Start FOB broke along with my original key, but I managed to save my original key but not by start FOB. Will not rest until all is right.

Michelle Robinson (verified owner) – February 7, 2024

Great company!! I received the product fast, product is high quality and instructions were clear. Works great!

Dodge journey remote start: the full rundown.

Not all Dodge Journey years are created equal.

CoPilot Compare breaks down pricing and feature differences between Dodge Journey years so you can find the sweet spot between value AND reliability.

Source: Flickr

The Dodge Journey is a midsize crossover SUV manufactured from 2009 to 2020. Although it’s no longer in new car showrooms, thousands of Journeys are still on the road. Many Journey models came equipped with a handy remote start system, allowing drivers to start their vehicles from a distance with the push of a button or via a smartphone app. Keep reading as we explore everything you need to know about the Dodge Journey remote start feature. You learn about use, troubleshooting, programming, and other essentials.

Dodge Journey Remote Start: Key Fob 

The Dodge Journey remote start system allows you to start the engine up to 80 feet away.  It’s an extremely convenient feature on cold winter mornings or hot summer afternoons when you want the interior temperature to be more comfortable before entering the vehicle.

To use remote start, quickly press the remote start button (a curricular arrow surrounding an “x2” symbol) twice within five seconds and hold the button down on the second try. The engine will start, and the hazard lights will flash to confirm that the car is running. The climate control system will come on based on the current settings. Notably, the car must be locked, and the hood, cargo hatch, and all doors must be closed for the system to activate. 

Your Journey will operate in remote start mode for 15 minutes before shutting down. The remote start system can be used twice (for a total of 30 minutes) before requiring the driver to reset the system by manually restarting the car.

Dodge Journey Remote Start: Uconnect App

The accompanying smartphone app can start newer Dodge Journeys equipped with the Uconnect system. You’ll want to ensure you’re enrolled in the Uconnect service (which requires a subscription fee), the Uconnect app is installed on the phone, and your phone has a cellular or Wi-Fi signal. Similar functionality is available via the Mopar Connect Owner website (moparownerconnect.com).

To start your Journey:

• Open the app and log in
• Locate the circular “engine start/stop” icon
• Press the icon (you may be asked to enter a PIN)
• The vehicle will start and provide an in-app confirmation
• Press the icon again if you want to turn off the engine (there may also be a cancel icon)

NOT JUST FOR CAR SHOPPING

The CoPilot app isn’t just for buying a car - our new CoPilot for Owning tool will help you keep track of recalls and gives you advice on which scheduled maintenance tasks are most important.

Dodge Journey Remote Start: Troubleshooting

While using the Dodge Journey remote start system is usually trouble-free, issues can arise that cause problems. Here’s what to be aware of:

• The remote start feature can be affected by walls or other obstructions. Signal interference can also be trouble. Try moving to a different position if the vehicle is not starting remotely.
• A weak key fob battery can also affect range. Change the battery if you find the remote start range decreases over time. 
• Certain conditions will prevent remote start from working, including a check engine light, low fuel indicator, or an alarm signal. These issues may also let the car start but immediately shut down. 
• Only press the remote start button twice within five seconds. Pressing too many times can confuse the system or cause the engine to turn off. Similarly, avoid sitting on the key fob, which can disrupt remote starting. 

Dodge Journey Remote Start: Safety Tips

Successful use of your Dodge Journey’s remote start system requires following crucial safety precautions: 

• Review the owner’s manual to get a complete understanding of how the remote start system works.
• Never remote start your vehicle when it’s in an enclosed space like a garage, which can lead to dangerous carbon monoxide buildup. Remote start should only be used when the car is parked in an open, well-ventilated area. 
• Ensure the parking brake is engaged before starting remotely to prevent accidental movement. 
• Be aware of the surroundings before engaging remote start to avoid startling people or pets that might be nearby.
• Never leave the keys inside a running, unattended vehicle, even if you’ve engaged the remote start. This is an easy target for theft.
• Confirm that all the windows are up before activating remote start for extra security. 
• Never remotely start a vehicle needing repair, as problems could worsen.

Using remote start is convenient, but following basic precautions keeps you, your vehicle, and the surroundings secure. Stay alert and be responsible when using this feature.

THE DODGE JOURNEY YEARS TO AVOID

If you’re going to spend money on a car, it should be a great one that will last. Read on to learn more about which  Dodge Journey years to avoid and which one to look at as a potential future investment.

Programming Key Fobs

If you have an unprogrammed replacement key fob or want to add an additional fob, you can program it yourself in most Journey models. The process takes about five minutes and requires two working key fobs. Here are the basic programming steps:

• Make sure the new unprogrammed fob is within 1-3 feet of the vehicle. 
• Insert an already programmed fob into the ignition cylinder and turn to the “on” position. 
• Press the “lock” button on the programmed fob once.
• Within 10 seconds, press the “lock” button on the unprogrammed fob twice.
• Turn the ignition back to the “off” position and remove the programmed key fob. 
• Test that the new fob works by pressing its lock and remote start buttons.

Consult the owner’s manual for your specific Journey year and trim for any variations on these instructions. If programming fails, wait 10 minutes before trying again. You may need to contact an automotive locksmith or a Dodge dealer for additional help. 

Aftermarket Remote Start Systems

If your Dodge Journey didn’t come with remote start, you can still add this handy feature by installing an aftermarket system. Avoid the temptation to buy a cheap unit. Instead, stick with a name brand like Viper, Avital, or Compustar. You’ll be less likely to encounter installation problems or issues that can damage your car’s electrical system. 

Prices for a quality system will run $200–$500 before installation costs. Unless you’re an experienced installer, spend the money to have a professional add the remote starter to your car. 

Here are some features to look for:

• Extended range: some aftermarket systems can reach up to 1,500 feet 
• Custom features: options include adjustable timers or smartphone app controls
• Warranty: Look for coverage that provides at least one year of protection on parts (the installer should also offer a warranty on their services)

An aftermarket solution can provide the convenience and comfort of remote start in your Dodge Journey without the factory option.

Khabarovsk: The city on the 5,000 ruble banknote

Located at the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri rivers, Khabarovsk (6140 kilometers from Moscow) is the second largest city in the Russian Far East after Vladivostok. Having grown from a small military post in the middle of the 19 th  century, the city got its name from the famous Russian explorer Yerofei Khabarov, who surveyed the Amur River. Currently Khabarovsk is the administrative center of the Far Eastern Federal District.

Where to go on a first date with the city

The city was founded by Count Nikolai Muravyov-Amursky and the main street is named in his honor. Modern buildings and shopping centers coexist with old stone houses of gray and red. A monument to this famous Russian statesman can be found in the city’s Central Park. This statue can also be seen on the 5,000-ruble banknote.

The best way to explore Khabarovsk is on foot, beginning at Lenin Square and working your way towards the banks of the Amur River. The two main boulevards, Amursky and Ussuriisky, run parallel to each other. The architecture on Lenin and Serysheva streets, with its mostly Stalin-era structures, differs from the beautiful pre-revolutionary buildings on ul. Muravieva-Amurskogo. The Amursky and Ussuriisky boulevards did not exist until the mid-1960s.

Khabarovsk is not a typical Russian city along the Trans-Siberian Railway. The unusual fusion of Russian and Chinese cultures is felt in the food, culture and even lifestyle of its residents. Japanese touches complement this picture in the form of blossoming cherry trees and cars with steering wheels on the right hand side. That Khabarovsk has such a strong Asian influence should not seem surprising, as the city is located only 17 kilometers from the state border with China. The nearest Chinese settlement, Fuyuan, is 65 kilometers down the river from Khabarovsk.

Khabarovsk’s gem is its picturesque river embankment and the Amursky rail and road bridge, which is also depicted on the 5,000-ruble banknote. Just like the Eiffel Tower, this bridge won the gold medal of the World Exhibition in Paris in the early 20 th  century.

Khabarovsk's museums

Khabarovsk became famous during the Soviet period for a popular song about border guards that stand on the "high banks of the Amur" and protect the motherland. It is not hard to find old cannons on display in the city that were fired during the Russo-Japanese War.

At the present time Khabarovsk is the headquarters of Russia’s Far Eastern Military District.

The Military Historical Museum of the Far Eastern Military District depicts in great detail everything you ever wanted to know about the formation and development of the army in the Far East. Models of weapons from different years are exhibited over the museum’s 13 halls and heavy military equipment is placed in the courtyard of an observation deck. The museum itself is located in a historic building right on the bank of the Amur River.

The Far Eastern Art Museum, also known as the "Far East Tretyakov Gallery" features original works of ancient Russian art, as well as local artists from the Amur Region. Among the artists on display are Ivan Aivazovsky, Ivan Shishkin, Ilya Repin, Vasily Surikov, Isaak Levitan, Alexander Benois, Apollinaris Vasnetsov and Mikhail Vrubel. Many of these works of art came to the Far East from museums in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

The Khabarovsk Regional Museum holds collections of flora and fauna, ethnography exhibits of indigenous peoples and Slavic settlers, and displays by paleontologists and geologists that tell the city’s story from its foundation. The only archaeological museum in the Far East is the Okladnikov Museum, which features 120,000 ancient artifacts pertaining to the Amur Region.

For those traveling with children, Khabarovsk has special kid-friendly attractions including an aquarium featuring fresh water fish of the Amur River basin, as well as the Gaidar Amusement Park and the Khabarovsk State Circus.

A living museum of Far Eastern flora can be found at the Khabarovsk Arboretum, established as an experimental laboratory in 1896. It has collected about 300 plant species that grow in the Ussuri taiga as well as those from the Himalayas, Central Asia and North America.

Khabarovsk is known for its parks such as Dynamo or Yuri Gagarin Park. The Central Park of Culture and Relaxation is perfect for taking leisurely strolls and leads to the river station located within the park, where you can take a boat ride on the Amur River. Especially memorable is taking a walk along the river at night, when Khabarovsk is illuminated by hundreds of colored lights. In the park there is also an observation deck that offers a spectacular view of the Amur.

The cultural center of the Far East

The oldest Orthodox Church in Khabarovsk is a Church of St. Innocentius  of Irkutsk, erected in 1870 in honor of the patron saint of Siberia and the Far East. The impressive Holy Transfiguration Cathedral (its height with golden domes is 95 meters), built from the donations of inhabitants of the region, is the third largest temple in Russia after Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral and St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg.

Several major theaters operate in Khabarovsk, which is often called the cultural center of the Far East. These include the Khabarovsk Regional Musical Theater performing classic operetta and musical comedy, and the Regional Drama Theatre featuring international and domestic classics. There is also the Triad professional mime theater, which offers unusual performances in interesting interiors. 

Why you should climb the Khabarovsk cliff

Khabarovsk is hot and humid in the summer with temperatures reaching 30 C and cold and dry in the winter with the average temperature being -24 C. However, the temperatures often drop below -30, making Khabarovsk the coldest city with a population of 500,000 or more in the world. There are massive ice sculptures on Lenin Square from January until the spring thaw in April as part of the annual Amur Crystal and Ice Fantasy festivals. City Day, celebrated on the last Saturday of May, is a good reason to visit Khabarovsk at the beginning of summer.

No matter the season, if it is clear, then climb the Khabarovsk cliff (ul. Shevchenko 15), a true symbol of the city. A famous building was constructed here on a rocky promontory 70 years ago by an architect named Starikov. At first it was a station for military observation, later becoming a rescue station. After the building was transferred to Khabarovsk Central Park of Culture and Recreation, a viewing platform was added that now offers the best panoramic views of the Amur River. Take a selfie here with a view of the Amur River at the monument to Count Muravyov-Amursky.
