Thanks for that advice!

They are not "remote" keys, ie they only manually unlock doors and start the car....but I was like you, only had one key when I bought the car 2nd hand.
It was around $100 all up.....pretty good, considering what I'd been quoted by Jeep.

This sounds like a good option since its only a spare key. But does this mean the above quoted post isn't quite correct, and that people other than dealers can code the key?

$240.00 for the key, $90.00 to code it to the car & $10.00 to cut the key.

Thanks, but does this not bring the price - $340 - in line with ordering a genuine key from the dealer? Did you ever quote a price for a coded and cut genuine key?
