🔧 PRO TIP
On 2018+ Dodges with the security gateway module, every key programming job requires a physical bypass behind the dash before our tools can talk to the computer. That adds about 10 minutes to any job.

1997 Dodge Dakota Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Here's what a real-time 1997 Dodge Dakota key replacement looks like start to finish. You call me with your VIN. I confirm the key type, grab the right blank and chip, and drive to you. When I arrive, I decode the lock if needed, cut the blade, connect to OBD, run security access, program the key, and test it. That's the whole job.

A branch manager at the credit union in Goleta watched me do exactly that on her Dakota one afternoon. She'd lost her spare and wanted a replacement before she was down to one key. She asked me to walk her through what I was doing.

So I decoded her door lock with my Y159 Lishi, cut the blade on my machine, connected the IM608, ran security access, pulled the PIN, and programmed the new fob. Her metal key, FCC ID , was a -button smart key with remote start. I showed her the fob, tested every button, started the truck three times, and confirmed range from across the lot.

Total time from arrival to finished key was 35 minutes. Cost was 95. The dealer charges 200 and takes days. She said watching it live made it seem routine. It is routine. The tools handle the security. I just need to know which procedure matches which platform.

“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”

“We had one broken key for our Honda Civic and one working key for our Lexus. Tim came out and cut three remote car keys at a great price. All keys worked perfectly. Professional, courteous, and highly recommended.”

“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”

Our Credentials FAQ

We come to you - here's how

Are you licensed and insured to work on Dodge vehicles?
Yes. EZ Car Keyz is fully licensed through the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS License LCO#6792) and carries full insurance. We are also NASTF Vehicle Security Professional certified, which gives us authorized access to the security codes and programming protocols needed for Stellantis vehicles. On newer Dodges with a secured gateway, having the right credentials and tool access is what separates a qualified locksmith from one who shows up, pokes at the car, and says they cannot do it.
