Hi,i locked my 2007 grand cherokee with remote key then lost it.i called a locksmith he said no problem came to my house and made a new key,the jeep will start but shuts down after 2 sec.i know it is because of the security.he said he didint have tools to help me.i dont really care about the security,is there away to disarm the security and use the key he made?what are all my options,can a locksmith with the right tools help me?or do i to have it towed to a dealership?

Does the new key have a chip in it if so has that chip been programmed?

Have it towed to the dealer. They will have to program the key to the vehicle.

August of 2010, paid $83 to the dealer for key/programming. Called a local locksmith and he could do it for $75. It wouldn't have the Jeep logo on the key. That makes 2 missing keys since 2004.

Dropped 1 off at a local garage after hours and claimed they never got it???
Was reimbursed for about 90% of the lost key.

The other day another one just mysteriously walked away.

At least both fobs are accounted for
