I have 2 key fobs for my 2009. The one that I use every day, the unlock button has worn out where I have to press it like 50 times before my door will unlock.

What's the cheapest/easiest path to get a replacement?

 

Your Keyless Remote

I've used this place several times and am pleased.

 

I have used ebay, find a seller with good feedback, never had a problem. Locksmith did not want to cut the key until I told him that he would not be responsible if it did not work. to me it was worth the risk as I could have bought at 5 replacements compared to the cost of one OEM key. You will need both of the old fobs to program the new one.

 

Thanks, I saw some on eBay and other vendor websites where I read you need both fobs. So you just take these to a hardware store, get the key cut to your original fob and then program them with your original fobs? Is that about it or anything else?

 

I ordered a replacement from these guys, got it cut and programmed couple days later it stopped working!! Returned it for a full refund. Went on eBay and ordered one cheaper which was a OEM refurbished.

 

Here's what I'm currently considering. My 2009 has the remote start.

Also make sure it has compatible P/N, FCC ID etc and it says jeep on the back. The first key I bought from that other website did not have these numbers. The locksmith even told me this is a aftermarket key btw (first key). When I took the 2nd one he automatically told me ah you got a OEM one. Been working like a charm 4 weeks and counting.

 

Where do you find the correct number? Is it on my original key fob?

 

Yes, check the back of your key fob. Make sure the key fob you are buying is compatible. Most all eBay key fob's I've seen post compatible numbers.

 

I bought a couple of $3 no-button blank transponder keys and cut/programmed them just to have a few extras sitting around. (things have apparently changed and now locksmiths can program them with a special code or something, but way back when, it was stupid expensive to replace a lost key at the dealership when you didn't have two already-programmed keys...)



Then I got a couple of $9 3-button flip fobs to transfer the guts of the original keys into. (just the shells, but I'm sure you could find this type that has the internals if they interest you.)
