Chrysler Repair: Door Lock Module, rf frequency, old keys

Question
Hi Kevin, Roland thought you might be better able to answer this.  

Hello, We have a 2006 Town & Country Touring LE.  Recently both keys on the van stopped unlocking the doors.  My wife took it in and they told us the keys were bad.  We ordered some keys off the internet at half the cost and matched identically and were guaranteed to work and the dealership wouldn't reprogram them cause they said the part number didn't match.  Finally our third trip back in they said the module was bad and both keys would need to be replaced.  We've been charged everytime we've been in and it's still not fixed.  My question now is, if we just have a bad module do we in fact have to replace both keys.  They're telling us it's a security feature, but since you can reprogram keys I wasn't sure if this could be done with the existing.  I have a friend telling me yes and a dealership telling me no so just trying to get some clarity since the keys are $180.00.  Thanks for your help!

Answer
ok lets look at common sense first  U have 2 keys both work independent of each other right?  I mean u don't need to have both there at the same time in order to make the doors unlock right?  So what do u think the odds of having both keys fail at the same time are?  million to one 100 million to one?


Now back to question  I have seen it where the new skim module is so up dated that the old keys  the RF frequency wont match up unless u have new keys with the same RF coding.

And no u wont be able to reprogram keys unless u have 2 working keys already with a working skim module with 2 working keys programed into its memory already.

replace the skim  program the keys u have unless they wont program then u will need to get the keys from the dealer.
