2010 Chrysler Pt Cruiser
Licensed Pro Key Service in Ventura County

Q: Do I need to tow my car to the dealer if I have no keys?

Not for most Chrysler models. A mobile locksmith with the right tools and Secure Gateway access can handle all-keys-lost right where the vehicle sits. CDJR dealers require the vehicle to be physically connected to wiTECH for programming, which means a tow if you have no working key. One owner described having their vehicle held at the dealer for three weeks during key programming troubleshooting. Two different dealers failed to program the same fob before wanting to keep the vehicle indefinitely. We come to you, and the job is done in one visit.

Q: How long does an all-keys-lost replacement take?

On site, most Chrysler AKL jobs take 30 to 45 minutes. The PIN extraction, key erase, and new key registration take longer than a standard add-a-key, but the actual programming finishes quickly once connected. On 2018 and newer models, the Secure Gateway authentication adds a brief step. A mobile locksmith on a Stellantis vehicle was reported completing four new keys and fob programming in about 35 minutes total. At the dealer, the same work can stretch weeks because of parts ordering, scheduling, and escalation to Chrysler tech support.

Q: What battery does the 2010 Chrysler Pt Cruiser key fob use?

The 2010 Chrysler Pt Cruiser uses a CR2032 battery. When we do an all-keys-lost job, the new key always comes with a fresh battery installed. You will not need to worry about battery life on your new key for a long time. We also recommend keeping a spare battery at home once you have your key, since a dead fob on a Chrysler can leave you unable to use proximity entry and remote start until the battery is replaced.

Q: Can you make a spare at the same time so I have two keys?

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. On Chrysler vehicles, the all-keys-lost programming routine erases all existing keys and only registers the ones physically present during the session. That means adding a second key while we are already connected costs less than calling us back for a separate visit, which on some models would require erasing and reprogramming all over again. On older Sentry Key vehicles, the system can store up to eight keys. If you just went through all-keys-lost, the last thing you want is to be in that situation again. Get the spare now while it is cheap.

2010 Chrysler Pt Cruiser Remote head key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A barber at his shop in a strip mall in Oxnard asked me directly whether the key would be "as good as dealer." He had a 2010 Chrysler Pt Cruiser and wanted a spare he could trust as his daily FOBIK, not just an emergency backup in a drawer. Fair question, and it deserves an honest answer.

OEM Chrysler FOBIKs come from the factory supplier with the logo, the exact factory finish, and a brand markup. Aftermarket FOBIKs use the same blade profile, same chip type, same button layout, and same circuit board design. The functional difference in daily use is zero if the aftermarket blank is good quality.

I carry aftermarket FOBIK blanks that I've tested on hundreds of Chrysler jobs. The blade is the same Y160 profile cut to the same specs on my machine. The transponder chip is the same generation that Chrysler's SKIM system expects. His fob, FCC ID OHT692427AA, was a 4-button FOBIK, and the aftermarket housing has the same button feel, same weight, same snap-together construction. The difference is no Chrysler logo on the back and roughly $100 less in his pocket.

His total was 185. Dealer charges 395 for the OEM version. Where aftermarket can go wrong is when a locksmith buys the cheapest blanks. Thin plastic that cracks in a month, generic chips that almost match. I test every batch before it goes in the van. If a batch has bad quality, I send it back.

“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”

Lost Your Chrysler Pt Cruiser Key? Here's What to Know

What to expect when we arrive

I lost all my Chrysler keys. Can you still make a new one?▼

Yes. All-keys-lost is one of the most common calls we get, and we handle it on site for most Chrysler models. The process involves extracting the PIN from your vehicle's SKIM, WIN, or RF hub module, erasing all stored keys, and programming new ones from scratch. On 2018 and newer models, Secure Gateway authentication is required before the programming can begin. Chrysler owners who call the dealer for AKL face a tow plus potentially weeks of scheduling. We come to you and do the same job at your location.
