2004 Chrysler Concorde Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a guy up in Montecito, in the Upper Village area, who needed a spare key for his 2004 Concorde. He was not stranded, which was a nice change. He just wanted a working backup before the day came that he actually needed one.

He met me in the parking area near his place and handed me his original. It was worn down noticeably, the kind of key that's been on a heavy ring for years and has a few small nicks on the cut. He said it sometimes took two or three tries to get the ignition to turn, which is exactly the thing you ignore until it strands you.

I decoded the original rather than tracing the worn cuts directly. If I cut to a worn key, the copy inherits the wear and you end up with two keys that both misbehave. Cutting to the decoded specification gives you a fresh, accurate cut that may actually work more reliably than the original at this point.

The new key turned clean on the first try. He tested it twice, seemed mildly surprised at how fast the whole thing went, and mentioned he had assumed it would be a dealer trip. It was not.

The worn original is still on his ring, but at least now there's a good spare in the house.
