If you have an 1998 or newer Jeep with a transponder key with an imbedded
computer chip you should seriously consider getting a third key made.

With two working transponder keys you can get additional keys for just the
cost of the key and cutting and program the key yourself.

I bought a Jeep OEM key on e-Bay for $11.99 + $2.50 for a local locksmith to
cut it as opposed to the $99 Jake Sweeney Jeep in Cincinnati wanted for a
programmed key.

2. Self-Programming additional Sentry Keys (requires TWO original keys)
"A" through "G" below is a quick summary of the steps that are required for
programming. Following this list, "1" through "6" takes you through the same
process in greater detail.

Quick Steps:

A. Purchase a blank key and have it cut
B. Insert original key #1 into ignition and turn to On
C. Wait 5 seconds and turn key to off
D. Immediately insert original key # 2 into ignition and turn to on
E. Wait 10 seconds for SKIS indicator in dash starts to flash
F. Turn ignition off, insert new blank key and turn ignition back on

I bought a key on Ebay this week. It still has not arrived yet.

Because my Libby has the keyless entry remote built into it, and it's
cumbersom at best. I got one that is just the key. Before I bought it I
emailed someone else with a Liberty that had already purchased form the guy
and ask how well it worked, he said it worked great!

I will butcher an intergrated key/remote so that it will be just a remote
and a key not integrated
The way this 05 key is designed it off center, awkward and in general a poor
design with the panic button right where your thumb goes when you turn it to
start the vehicle.
..
Anyway, they plain key was $22 including shipping now I have to find a dead
key somewhere to slip the guts of my remote into.

Anyone out there got one?

I have seen the new key design and it is ..... not the best design I have
ever seen but I think I would prefer it to the separate key/remote design I
have. The combination is just too bulky which, I guess, is why they changed
the design.

That is the real design flaw, when you add these remotes to your normal
keyring it becomes too long. As it is now with the Jeep's key in the
ignition my door key rubs on my knee as I drive.

The guy I got my key from was VERY slow in shipping and rebated the shipping
charge.
