Help! I have lost my remote key fob for my 2014 Jeep GC Limited WK 3 and my NSW dealer wants $836 for a replacement. The car only has a push button start (no manual key). I fought and won with Jeep Australia for them to give me my 4 digit pin so I could purchase and program a fob elsewhere, but I have been unable to source one worldwide to date. Talk about holding the consumer to ransom. What a rip off!
Does anyone know a work around or where I can get a replacement remote key fob? I have attached a picture of mine for reference. The rest of the world appears to have different buttons on the remotes, runs on a different frequency and uses different scanning software.
I have approached a few locksmiths who also cannot offer a solution other than buying an original for $550 and programming it for $150 to $200.
Surely Im not the first owner to lose a key. Are we really willing to allow Jeep to rip us off like this? Not even the european keys are this expensive.
Losing the key has made me also think about when the battery in the remote goes flat. How would I start the car if I were in the middle of nowhere?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated....Thanks Danielle
