FOBIK keys in Australia


Recommended Posts

 

Do you know where I can get entire Australian Dodge Journey RT 2009 keys at an affordable price? Dodge/FCA Australia want $600 for one. Apparently the much cheaper North American ones or cheap Chinese knock offs wont work or use a different frequency.

PART NUMBER HERE IN AUSTRALIA IS 05026377AG

I'm of the idea that it runs a 233mHz frequency here rendering the 1/4 priced USA versions useless, which run at 433mHz.

AU$620.00 is the bullshit list price that if you don't know or do the homework you wont have any ammo to fire back at your local (Just Empty Every Pocket) dealer.

 

In the USA the current list price on the DealerConnect network is US$147.00, selling price is less than that at around US$110.00

 

Here the sky is the limit - haggle and be firm, sware if you want - $444.00 is the best l got.

 

I'm still looking for the go between remote..... getting closer, but not there yet.

 

If you know what this key is, let us all know, here in Aus and NZ we are being screwed endlessly by big grabby hands..... they don't use gel either when politely asking you to bend over.

Gday bramfrank

Cheers for those.

Moparoverstock has them but like all sites with Mopar Dodge on the DeakerConnect network can be seen but as the dealer l purchased from but subsequently cancelled advised that although he can see it he can not order it ..a big red band sits across the top of yhe order.

I will post his screen shot a bit later.

 

It has to be ordered outside of the USA. Not Canada. Tried that too.

 

05026377AL is the current succession number for The 2010 on Journey.

Hi Lerky,

 

Here in New Zealand, my FOBIK buttons (both remotes) had failed.  Both transponders still start the vehicle, but the remotes are not transmitting, hence no central locking or security system function.

Following the YouTube videos on Fobik repair, I cleaned the copper contacts and tried the "short-out" method (jump both inner & outer contact rings together).
I was able to get the Fobik to briefly transmit a frequency - 433MHz, using an RF Counter tool.  (See link to RF Counter below).
Sadly, cleaning the circuit board contact rings and button contacts did not make my transmitters operational.

 

Dodge Dealer here wanted NZD$800 to supply & program 1 x  FOBIK, which is ridiculous. 
 

So, I purchased 2 x Fobik Transmitters (433MHz) from Ebay @ NZD $13ea.  (NB:  don't order Fobik keys online unless you are certain of your frequency).

Probably a fluke that the transponder chips matched our original keys  ;)

Although my original Fobiks have only 2 buttons (Lock/Unlock), I purchased Fobiks with the additional red Panic button (which is not applicable to my vehicle).

 

Note:  Be careful - there are 2 types of Fobik shells, with different battery compartments (1st type has a removable battery compartment on the back, allowing a new battery to slide in.  The 2nd type requires the two shell halves to be separated, to replace battery).  The shell, Slider Button, battery assembly and frequency MUST match your current Fobik smart key.  Having extra buttons on the Fobik will not matter, as your vehicle will only operate the buttons which apply to that vehicle. 

 

Self-programming of additional Keys (using 2 valid keys) does not apply on Journey vehicles (2010 onwards) here, due to the updated WIN modules.

There was also a WIN Module recall on earlier models, which makes self-programming now impossible.

Some earlier Chrysler vehicles (which weren't affected by the WIN recall) may still have the ability for self programming of new keys (with 2 valid keys).  Worth trying before contacting Locksmith or Dealer.

A maximum of 8 x FOBIK Keys can be programmed into the Journey IMMO Security Module.

 

The Dodge Service Dept would NOT supply my local Locksmith with the vehicle IMMO 4-digit PIN Security number, as they want the business instead.

Dealer made up a story about them having a "special" procedure which gives them a 1-hour window to access Chrysler's Dealer Network to obtain PIN codes...blah...blah...blah...

 

Fortunately, our Wellington mobile locksmith recently obtained a new "Xtool Ps90" OBD device two months ago (see link below), which can access USA vehicle IMMO security PIN details and quickly program new keys.  Recommend you shop around for a locksmith with the appropriate OBD diagnostic equipment.

 

So, the mobile locksmith arrived to our home:

 

No lie - took the Locksmith about 30 seconds to extract the Security PIN number.

Then another 30 seconds to "add" my new smart key to the security module....VOILA !
 

We now have 2 x new keys which start the vehicle and have remote central lock/security function.

Plus our 2 original keys which start the vehicle only. 

 

Locksmith fee for home callout and programming of 2 x keys (supplied by me) = NZD$120 + gst

Total saving of NZD$1,400  Dealer Cost (2 x working Fobiks)

Why don't you go for an automotive locksmith, they will get you keys at an affordable price.
