chip key for 2001 Grand Cherokee

[Donald]

I got a new key made for my Jeep at HD and it started the car, which ran for 15 seconds, then stopped and a flashing "key" incon came on. So I found out my Jeep has a chip key. I see the blanks for $8 on Ebay to $30 on Amazon. They all seem to require 2 working keys to program, which I have. Are all these keys the same? I cannot imagine too many companies making chip key blanks. On the other had, do not want to get one only to be stranded if it failed. In reality I probably would not use the key, it would just be another spare.

I wonder how much they are at the dealer? I recently paid $8.00 for a single lug nut. (Someone who was missing one probably took mine.)

For $8, I think I'd give it a try.

I bought the keys off ebay for my 06 cadillac. Had them cut at ace hardware for $1 a piece and programed them myself. They work great.

We have had customers buy the keys on ebay and then they wont program. But for that cheap, i guess its worth a shot.
