2004 Dodge Grand Caravan Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Do you need to tow your 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan to the dealer? Almost certainly not. For most Dodge models from the late 2000s through the early 2020s, I handle all-keys-lost right at the vehicle.

A home care worker in a manufactured home community in Encinitas had her only Fobik stop working one morning before her first patient visit. Her Grand Caravan was in the carport and push-to-start wouldn't recognize the fob. She assumed a tow was the only path and started rearranging her patient schedule. I told her to stay put and that I'd come to her.

I connected my Smart Pro to the OBD port and ran the Dodge smart key all-keys-lost procedure, which walks through the security handshake, reads the PIN, clears old key data, and learns new fobs step by step. Her Remote Head Key, FCC ID M3N5WY72XX, was a 6-button smart key with an emergency blade inside. I programmed it in her carport before 9am. She seemed pretty relieved when the push-to-start lit up on the first press.

Her total was about $185. The dealer would have been $395 plus the tow. There are a small number of very new Dodge platforms where aftermarket tools don't cover AKL reliably, and those do need the dealer. But for the vast majority on the road, I do all-keys-lost on-site every week. If yours is an exception, I'll tell you straight up instead of wasting your time.
