Remote start, keyless entry & push button start
Posted: Sat May 04, 24 8:51 am
Hi all,
My 2011 Challenger RT was specced at build with keyless entry/push button start and remote start according to the paid for car check I did prior to buying it here in the Uk. When I bought it the push button was loose in the arm rest centre console (apparently not working), the rubber buttons on the door handles do not open/lock the car when pressed and the key does not have a remote engine start button on it.
I ordered a new key off eBay with the remote start button and need to get it coded to the car and current key. However, upon speaking to a Jeep dealership and an auto locksmith, they cannot enable the remote start function if my current key doesn’t have it. The Jeep dealer wouldn’t be able to cut the blade key either for the £192 quoted but the auto locksmith said he would, and for only £85!!
My questions are how do I get my keyless entry and push button start to work and if possible enable the new key to remote engine start my car?
Anyone had experience with these problems?
