2018 Dodge Journey Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A tattoo artist at his apartment breezeway near Blossom Valley had a 2018 Dodge Journey with a cracked Fobik shell. The plastic around the buttons had split and the fob was barely holding together. He went to the dealer and they told him the only fix was a complete new key, cut and programmed, for about $487. What they didn't tell him is that the chip and circuit board inside were working fine. He just needed a new shell.

Your Journey uses a Smart Key. Physically, it has 4 buttons on the face, a CR2032 battery inside powering the remote functions, and either a blade that folds out or an emergency insert key tucked inside the housing. There's also a transponder chip embedded in the fob that communicates with the vehicle's immobilizer every time you try to start it.

I met him at his apartment with replacement shells and my Y159 Lishi. I decoded his lock for an exact blade match, then swapped the electronics from his cracked shell into a fresh housing. His Fobik's FCC ID was M3N-40821302. I verified every button and the wireless range, and cut a new blade from the decode. The aftermarket Fobik shells I carry are the same material and button layout as factory. The board and chip are what matter, and those transferred right over.

He paid about $287 for the full job. The dealer was going to charge $487 to replace parts that still worked.

Dodge Journey Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

What is the cheapest way to replace my Dodge key?
Call a mobile locksmith before you call the dealer. A Durango owner had the full job done for $225 when the dealer was quoting close to $450. A Ram owner got four keys and a fob programmed for $250 total from a mobile locksmith when the dealer wanted $600. With EZ Car Keyz, a Smart Key for the 2018 Dodge Journey is around $$287 and that includes everything. You do not need to tow your vehicle, you do not need to wait weeks for an appointment, and you do not get hit with separate charges for the fob, blade, and programming.
