Default 2011 reset anti-theft w/o trip to dealer?

Hi there -
My battery died with this last cold snap in my 2011 Grand Cherokee and when AAA came buy they couldn't jump it and told me that the anti-theft system triggered. Besides the fact that my battery should have been ok.....I'm in a bit of shock as a call to the dealer informed me of an estimated $300-$400 service fee to fix/reset the anti-theft.

I realized things have advanced with some of the newer models, but is anyone aware of a way to reset with the old-school keyfob, on/off, hopping around on one leg reset process?

Thanks,
Doug

Did they tell you if it was dealer reset only? Meaning only the dealer computer is able to reset it? http://www.ehow.com/how_7492453_rese...antitheft.html you could try this link. Just not sure if it works for your year. Its free so why not try it
