Neon Skim keys....

My '00 came with two of the Pentastar style keys keys.

The '02 R/T I mostly recently parted out had the 'Neon' keys.

i voted for ram's head (because that's the key i use most often) but i have the penta-plymouth/chrysler key as well (as a spare).

I'm sure you could get one from the dealership and have it cut. They come up on Ebay from time to time as well.

I have the rams head key for my 04.

And while we are on the topic, Anyone know how much it is to get a new key programed? I only have one and I would be up a certain creek without a paddle if I lost it.

Also anyone know where I can get a new remote? Mine is showing its age with the faded buttons and the lock button doesnt work anymore.
It's around $50 to program the SKIM key at the dealership, the only place that can do it as you need both the car, the key and a DRB III available to you. The dealer would also be able to get you a remote and program that to the RKE as well.

Thanks! $50 doesnt sound to bad. I was thinking it would cost around $100 or more.

Well, it's $50 for the programming. You still need to buy the key/fob.

iirc the keys are in the area of $50-$75.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Mon Feb 08, 2010 5:01 pm

Yeah he just asked about the programming I believe. I forgot to add the cost of the key itself. You can get them cheaper off ebay then what the dealership would charge for sure though.

Mine doesn't have SKIM, and just where the original keys are, is anyone's guess, as they didn't come with the car. Somewhere out there, someone has a set to my car.

They do. Part #5018496AA...MSRP $71.60

Also....

Chrysler Logo, part #5018869AB...MSRP $58.35

Ram Head Logo, part #5018690AB...MSRP $71.60

Jeep Logo, part #5018699AA...MSRP $54.60

Penastar Logo...this one is tricky. Chrysler has done away with the penastar logo by itself. The newer keys are dual marked. Penastar on one side, and either a Rams head, Jeep logo, or Chrysler on the other.

I love my Pentastar key

MY dad's 02 has Neon on it. I think my 05 says Neon too, I'll check when I get home.

I have 2 SKIM keys...

-1 says "NEON".

-the other is blank and a new one I had cut / programmed at the dealership.

Then there is the other key that has black plastic on it and can be used for everything except to keep the engine running.

RayWolf · Post by **RayWolf** » Wed Feb 10, 2010 1:04 pm

i dont have skim keys
i have the "NEON" key is the only key that opens my trunk
and one that says ilco on it that opens my door, ignition, and glove box
and its a stock key form dodge

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Thu Feb 11, 2010 11:20 am

Your Ilco key mave have come from the dealer, but it isn't a factory key.

And you should only have one key to do everything. If you have a different key for the trunk, then it's a safe bet that that lock was changed.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Thu Feb 11, 2010 12:01 pm

My 2000 key is a pentastar key as well, I found that one in my tool box yesterday along with it's title.

My '02 had 2 neon skim keys. My '04 had one ram head key when I got it last year. This thread inspired me to go get a neon key for my '04. My dealer had one in stock so I went and picked it up saturday. $52 dollars tax and all. That also included programing since I only had one key.

do all your fobs have the panic button on it?
what does it do?!

we dont have them over here!

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sat Feb 27, 2010 8:51 pm

Panic button is kind of an idiot button...you push it and the car repeatedly honks its horn and flashes its headlights to tell you where it is.....

Yeah...in case you forgot where you parked it in a parking lot.

my 2000 had the penastar and my 2004 has the ram head, how do you tell if you have a skim key?

Passt · Post by **Passt** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 3:07 pm

Cool, I never knew there were different ones. Both SRTs I have owned came with the Ram's head. Both were 2005s.

I have all three.

The easiest way is if you have a grey head or a black head....
Black Head - Non-Sentry
Grey Head - Sentry
I looked to see if there was a Plymouth one available but since Plymouth was supposed to be the no option cheapo Crystal has all the only options available:
Ram head - for Dodge
Neon - Most 00-02 Neons
Chrysler Pentastar - Anything with a sentry system

Swordfish2Cowboy · Post by **Swordfish2Cowboy** » Mon Mar 01, 2010 2:56 pm

lol stealing keys. You thief.

I has Ram head. I only have the one key, too. But I found a dealership that isn't fucking retarded on SKIM key prices, so soon I will get more.

j-king · Post by **j-king** » Mon Mar 01, 2010 3:27 pm

i voted ram head

but i want the neon one

kbobob · Post by **kbobob** » Thu Oct 14, 2010 12:10 pm

just thought I would bring it up from the dead.

I have three different styles for my car.

1- neon
1-pentastar
2-chrysler....yes....you read it right.

The dealer made the pentastar key as they could not find the second key to the car when I bought it...and the 2 chrysler keys were given to me.....how do you say...they were meant to go into a minivan...but they borrowed while they were still blanks...

don't ask me...I didn't borrow them.

now my mom will be getting keys that say "Strattec" on them for an extra key for hers.

Voilet's factory key is a pentastar, the replacement is slick, no embossing.
