viper 5704 / starting issues

Thanks, It will be sometime this weekend before I can get to having a non-secure key made.

Becareful while doing all of this key cycling it can be possible to accidentally enter that customer key programming mode without realizing it. Count to 10 between each key cycle whether it be with the viper or manual key method. Follow these rules obviously when NOT trying to enter programming mode. Can't tell ya how many times I have freaked myself out moving too fast and wondering why the engine would not stay running. To master and control electricity is perfection. *evil laugh*

For a dodge vehicle of this vintage you have to have 2 programmed and functioning keys before it will let you into spare key programming mode.

But yes don't get over zealous swapping keys around. Allow a minute or 2 between experiments so you don't unknowingly get into key programming mode..

Thanks Guys, All your words are heeded and appreciated. I'm working 12 hr shifts thu Sunday. Monday I'll get a non-chipped key and get back.

Before you get a key cut just unplug the 3 pin connector. That will keep the key in a box from transmitting to the skin if it is stuck on or transmitting in some way. Try the keys to see if they will start the vehicle. Obviously check to be sure the connections to the skim module are seated.

If you unplug the skim the vehicle will not start period. By using a non security key in the ignition try and start the vehicle that will determine if the coffin is defective if the vehicle starts and runs.

Hi Guys, Went to Lowe's and as soon as they seen my chipped key when I said I wanted a non-chipped blank they said they could not and claimed they had no non-chipped blanks. The chipped one that had was $75.00. Went to Wal-Mart and opened my big mouth and asked if they had any non-chipped blanks. I cannot copy a chipped key he says. I said sell me the blank. He did for $2.00. I went to the dealership and they know of my difficulties and why I wanted it so they cut it for free and looked on in earnest as the non-chipped key failed to keep the motor running. It cranked and died. I removed the non-chipped key. Inserted the chipped key and it cranked! I go to the grocery store and it fires up when I left. An hour after I got home I tried it and it would not. I tried the non-chipped key and it starts and dies. I put the chipped key in and it starts! Ugh! I guess I'll try another bypass box?

Go to somewhere else tell them to copy the stinking key. The actual key shank part is the same for sec key or non sec key. If they ask tell them you want a non sec key to hide under the vehicle just in case you lose your keys and that way some brick can't start your vehicle should they find it. The biggest thing is to not say a word and if they do tell them what you want.

Or you can just scrap that junk key coffin and use a newer style data based sec bypass kit. I like the db-all but they all pretty much do the same thing.
