Q: what is the programming procedure 2003 and older durangos use a different procedure. the local dealer says its in the owners manual. my intent is to order one from the dodge web site but would like to set this up now before the key/transmitter is lost or locked in the truck. 4 young kids i bought a used 2004 durango and of course only one transmitter and missing owners manual. these are the integrated key/transmitters that have to programmed or the truck wont run. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks jay ok whats the question mike .

says... if you only have one key you cannot do this yourself. for the owner to be able to self-program the skim key it requires two good keys. to obtain a new key and programming will require a visit to the dealer or a locksmith who has the programming capabilities few do. this is exactly what i had to do about a month ago. i recently bought a 2000 dodge ram and it came with only 1 key and 1 keyless entry fob. i went to dodge and got a new key and keyless entry fob. cost about $55.00. peace of mind having a duplicate set priceless mark those who live by the sword get shot by those who dont .
