Does this method work for the 2018 Dodge Charger GT models from 2010 onward?

🔑 Car Key & Fob FAQ

Common questions about key programming, fob issues, and replacement options

Security Systems
This means your car's immobilizer system can't read the key's transponder. Causes: dead key battery, damaged transponder chip, faulty car antenna ring around ignition, or system needs resetting. Try replacing the battery first.
Security Systems
Some systems reset by: 1) Disconnecting battery for 15+ minutes 2) Using original keys in specific sequences 3) Professional diagnostic reset. Consult your manual - procedures vary. Persistent issues may require dealer-level tools.
Cost & Options
1) Always have at least 2 working keys 2) Get spares made before losing originals 3) Consider key insurance/add-on coverage 4) Store key codes safely 5) Use protective cases for smart keys 6) Program new keys before old ones fail completely.
Key Tip: Consider key insurance for expensive smart keys
Cost & Options
You can buy fobs online, but: 1) Must match your exact model/year 2) Many still require professional programming 3) Cheap knockoffs may not work reliably. Some eBay/Amazon sellers offer programming instructions for DIY-friendly models.
Key Tip: Always have at least two working keys to avoid expensive replacements
Key Fob Issues
Many cars have a resync procedure: 1) Press lock/unlock buttons while near the car 2) Insert key and turn ignition on/off in a specific pattern 3) Use a sequence of button presses. Check your manual for exact steps - procedures vary widely by manufacturer.
Key Tip: Newer cars often require dealer programming for first key replacement
Key Fact: Many cars can store up to 8 different key codes in memory
