Dodge, Chrysler & Jeep Transponder Keys

Shop aftermarket transponder keys for compatible Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep vehicles at Noble Key Supply. This collection includes Y-series and SIP22 keys with several integrated transponder-chip configurations for professional automotive key replacement.

Available options include Y160, Y164, Y165, Y170, Y173, standard SIP22, and SIP22 MQB-style transponder keys. Match the keyway, chip, replacement part number, vehicle application, and programming requirements before ordering.

What Is a Transponder Key?

A transponder key contains an electronic chip inside its plastic head. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the vehicle’s immobilizer attempts to authenticate the chip before allowing the engine to start.

The mechanical blade and transponder perform two separate functions:

• The blade operates the ignition and mechanical locks.
• The transponder communicates with the immobilizer.
• Both must be compatible for the key to start the vehicle.

A key with the correct blade but the wrong chip may turn the ignition without starting the engine. Likewise, a correctly programmed chip does not compensate for an improperly cut or incompatible blade.

Dodge Transponder Keys

Dodge vehicles have used several transponder systems and mechanical keyways over the years. Depending on the model and production year, a Dodge may require a Y160, Y164, Y170, Y173, or another application-specific key.

Compatible Dodge applications may include select:

• Passenger cars
• SUVs
• Pickup trucks
• Vans
• Commercial vehicles

Some Dodge vehicles use standalone transponder keys without remote buttons. Others were originally offered with a separate remote or an integrated remote key.

Verify the ignition type before choosing between a basic transponder key, remote head key, FOBIK, or proximity key.

Chrysler Transponder Keys

Chrysler transponder keys may use ID46, 4D-series, AES, or other chip technology depending on the vehicle and year.

Common Chrysler keyways represented in the collection include Y160, Y164, and Y170. Although these key styles may appear similar, they are not necessarily interchangeable.

Check the original key, ignition, and application data to confirm:

• Keyway
• Transponder chip
• Replacement part number
• Vehicle year and model
• Programming method

Some Chrysler vehicles also use FOBIK or proximity systems. A standard transponder key should be selected only when supported by the vehicle’s ignition.

Jeep Transponder Keys

Jeep vehicles use multiple key systems across different generations. Older applications may use 4D or ID46 technology, while newer systems may require AES transponders.

The Y173 transponder key represented in this collection contains an NXP AES 128-bit chip and may support compatible Jeep applications requiring this electronic configuration.

A Jeep key should never be identified by blade shape alone. Match the chip and application before cutting or programming the replacement.

Y160 Transponder Keys

The Y160-PT is an aftermarket transponder key equipped with a 4D64 chip. It uses the Y159 mechanical test key and CY24 keyway tools for compatible applications.

Replacement references may include:

• BY160-PT
• TP21-CHR15P
• 692325

The Y160 and other Y-series keys may share a similar blade profile while using different transponder chips. Confirm that the vehicle requires the 4D64 configuration before ordering.

Y164 Transponder Keys

The Y164-PT uses an ID46 chip and the Y159 mechanical test key. It is associated with the CY24 keyway and replaces several compatible aftermarket or manufacturer references.

Replacement references may include:

• CHRY-CAN-KEY
• BY165-PT
• Y165-PHT
• TP12-CHR15P
• 692352

Because the Y164 can be cross-referenced under several names, verify both the mechanical blade and ID46 transponder requirement.

Y165 Transponder Keys

The Y165-PT represented in this collection uses a 4D61 transponder chip. Unlike the CY24-based keys, it references a MIT6 mechanical test key and MIT6 Lishi tool.

Replacement references may include:

• 692353
• BMIT13-PT
• MIT13-PT

The different blade family makes accurate identification especially important. A Y165 should not be substituted for a Y160 or Y164 based only on head shape.

Y170 Transponder Keys

The Y170-PT is an ID46 transponder key using the Y159 test key and CY24 keyway. It may also be described as a pod-style key for compatible Dodge, Chrysler, or Jeep applications.

Replacement references may include:

• DGE-POD-KEY
• BY170-PT
• BY166-PHT
• TP12CHR15P1
• 590987

Compare these references with the vehicle application and original key. Cross-reference numbers help identify a product, but the chip and keyway must still match.

Y173 AES Transponder Keys

The Y173-PT uses an NXP AES 128-bit transponder. This advanced chip differs from the ID46 and 4D transponders used in earlier key systems.

The key uses the Y159 test key and CY24 mechanical profile. It may replace a compatible Y199 pod transponder key for select Jeep applications.

An AES key requires programming equipment that specifically supports the vehicle and transponder technology. Confirm tool coverage before cutting the key.

SIP22 Transponder Keys

The SIP22-PT uses the SIP22 mechanical keyway and an ID46 transponder. This key style is associated with select vehicles in the broader Fiat Chrysler and Stellantis family.

The SIP22 keyway differs from the CY24 blade used by many North American Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep applications. Verify the original blade profile before selecting it.

A compatible SIP22 Lishi tool or another appropriate decoding and cutting method may be used to originate the mechanical key.

SIP22 MQB-Style Transponder Keys

The SIP22-MQB-PT combines an SIP22 blade with a 48 AES chip. It may cross-reference to K-CHY88 for supported applications.

This key is electronically different from the standard ID46 SIP22-PT. The two should not be treated as interchangeable simply because they share a blade profile.

Confirm:

• Vehicle application
• SIP22 blade requirement
• 48 AES chip requirement
• Programmer coverage
• Supported learning procedure

ID46 Transponder Keys

ID46 is used in several Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and related applications. Keys in this collection using ID46 include select Y164, Y170, and SIP22 configurations.

Two keys containing ID46 chips may still have different:

• Blade profiles
• Chip configurations
• replacement numbers
• Vehicle applications
• Programming procedures

Always match the entire key specification rather than selecting a replacement by chip family alone.

4D61 and 4D64 Transponder Keys

The collection includes both 4D61 and 4D64 chip configurations. These are not interchangeable versions of the same key.

The Y165-PT uses a 4D61 chip with a MIT6-based blade, while the Y160-PT uses a 4D64 chip with a Y159/CY24 mechanical profile.

Accurate chip identification prevents failed programming attempts and incorrectly cut inventory.

NXP and 48 AES Keys

AES transponders provide more advanced security than many earlier fixed or encrypted chip systems. Available AES keys include:

• Y173-PT with NXP AES 128-bit technology
• SIP22-MQB-PT with a 48 AES chip

AES key programming requires compatible equipment, current software, and correct vehicle coverage. A programmer that handles earlier ID46 or 4D keys may not support every AES application.

CY24 Keyway Applications

Several Y-series transponder keys use the CY24 keyway. Products in this group may reference the Y159 test key for mechanical comparison.

Compatible keys include select:

• Y160
• Y164
• Y170
• Y173

Sharing a keyway does not mean the keys share the same transponder. Identify the chip before selecting a blank from this group.

MIT6 Keyway Applications

The Y165-PT uses the MIT6 mechanical profile rather than CY24. Compatible locksmith tools and cutters must be selected accordingly.

Before cutting a Y165 key, confirm the vehicle truly uses the MIT6 blade. This helps prevent damage to the blank, ignition, or cutting equipment.

Mechanical Test Keys

A test key is a non-transponder reference used to confirm a blade profile or mechanical application. Product listings may identify test keys such as:

• Y159
• MIT6
• SIP22

The test-key number does not identify the transponder chip. It should be used together with electronic and vehicle compatibility information.

Replacement Part Numbers

Cross-reference numbers help locksmiths identify equivalent key blanks from different manufacturers or catalogs.

Part numbers represented in this collection may include:

• 692325
• 692352
• 692353
• 590987
• BY160-PT
• BY165-PT
• BY166-PHT
• BY170-PT
• BMIT13-PT
• MIT13-PT
• TP21-CHR15P
• TP12-CHR15P
• TP12CHR15P1
• CHRY-CAN-KEY
• DGE-POD-KEY
• Y199
• K-CHY88

A cross-reference should be verified against the chip, keyway, and vehicle application. Similar replacement numbers do not guarantee identical functionality.

Aftermarket Transponder Keys

The keys in this collection are aftermarket replacements. They provide cost-effective options for locksmiths who need standalone transponder keys for compatible vehicles.

A complete aftermarket transponder key typically includes:

• Molded plastic head
• Integrated transponder chip
• Uncut mechanical blade

These products do not include remote buttons. If the vehicle requires an integrated remote, FOBIK, or proximity key, select the appropriate product category instead.

Transponder Keys vs. Remote Head Keys

A basic transponder key starts the vehicle but does not contain remote-control buttons. A remote head key combines the transponder, blade, and remote functions in one housing.

The vehicle may have been originally equipped with:

• A transponder key and separate remote
• A remote head key
• A FOBIK
• A proximity smart key

In some applications, a basic transponder key can serve as an emergency or economical starting key even when the vehicle was originally supplied with a remote. Confirm support before offering this option.

Transponder Keys vs. FOBIK Keys

A FOBIK contains remote buttons and electronics in a housing designed to insert into a compatible ignition node. It is not the same as a conventional bladed transponder key.

Choose a standard transponder key only when:

• The blade fits the ignition
• The chip is supported
• The vehicle accepts a mechanical key
• The intended programming procedure supports the key

A FOBIK-equipped vehicle may not accept a conventional transponder key.

Cutting Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep Keys

The replacement key must be cut to operate the vehicle’s ignition and mechanical locks. Depending on the application, the locksmith may:

• Duplicate an existing key
• Decode the original key
• Read the lock with a compatible Lishi tool
• Retrieve the key code through an authorized source
• Originate the key by code

Inspect the blank and confirm the correct keyway before cutting. A transponder key should not be programmed until the technician has verified that the blade operates smoothly.

Programming Transponder Keys

Cutting the blade does not program the transponder. The chip must be registered with the vehicle’s immobilizer through a supported procedure.

Programming may involve:

1. Confirming vehicle ownership or authorization
2. Identifying the immobilizer system
3. Selecting the correct chip and keyway
4. Cutting and testing the blade
5. Connecting compatible programming equipment
6. Completing the key-learning procedure
7. Confirming that the security indicator behaves normally
8. Testing the key through multiple start cycles

Procedures vary by vehicle, year, available working keys, and programmer. All-keys-lost situations may require additional security access or equipment.

How to Choose the Correct Transponder Key

Before ordering, verify:

1. Vehicle year, make, and model
2. Vehicle identification number when needed
3. Ignition and key style
4. Mechanical keyway
5. Original key or blank number
6. Transponder-chip type
7. Replacement part number
8. Whether remote buttons are required
9. Programmer coverage
10. Add-key or all-keys-lost situation
11. Required cutting equipment
12. Applicable security credentials

Do not rely solely on the vehicle’s make or the key-head shape. Vehicles within the same brand can use different keyways and transponder generations.
