It is easier to just have the dealer make you a new key. If you have the metal ring that came on the keys, that has the code stamped on it. The people in the parts department can also get the code from Chrysler, as long as the lock cylinder was never changed. You can also try the dealership that sold the car new. They keep records of things including key codes, but some only keep them for seven years.

It would be easier, less expensive and less hassle to get the VIN number and have a locksmith cut you another one.
