The Jeep immobiliser and what it means for your key
Jeep vehicles use the Chrysler SKIM / SKREEM / RF Hub. Because the immobiliser and the key must recognise each other, cutting a blade alone is never enough. The key has to be paired to your specific vehicle. Consequently Urban Locksmith programs on site rather than simply cutting metal. Stellantis vehicles usually need a PIN for programming. Consequently proof of ownership is checked carefully.
