Keys need to be made...

[Ghost]

Ok, so I got a new heep last week and it did nto have any keys. I had a smith come out and moke some once and it was kinda pricey. Can I use get keys made from any of the codes on the xj? It is a 94 by the way.

[jeepdude10000]

i dont know if it will come up on it, but as ur stealership to bring up the build sheet. not sure if its on it though.

[Hellbent]

it's not a "code" in/on the vehicle, per se. but the stealership can pull it from your vin. ask me how i know....;)

They only REALLY started keeping the codes by the VIN in like 1998 or something, before that, it's hit and miss. But worth a shot.

[Hellbent]

what happens is on the "earlier"(early 90's and down) models, when you try to bring it up it's like the system "forgot" the code. that's how i perceive it anyway.

when i wanted to test drive a 91 that got repo-ed they didnt have the keys and they got the VIN off the dash and cut a new key for it.

and make sure you take proof of ownership with you to the dealer ,
they are not to be giving out that info without it .

otherwise anyone could get a vin # , and well , bye xj !!!!

TY Ten High, I'll give that code a try tomorrow when my town wakes back up.

[Hellbent]

yep, without id and registration they won't do it.

[Hellbent]

you're welcome.

I brought my title to the dealer and they cut me a new key for $10.

TY Ten High, got the key cut today and works great. The key fits the door and ignition great. Did they use a different key for the hatch like they did on the 84's? I forgot to try it back there.

its a 94? it should have a double sided key. it fits all doors, hatch and ignition. the older styles (pre-HO) had two single sided keys one with a round head for the doors and a square head for ignition.

Yea it's a 94. My 84 has 2 keys also.

Not always true...:)
When my grandparents went on vacation we decided to do a little surprise work to their '95 Accord and since it was a surprise we needed a way to get keys for it without them knowing... long story short, got the vin, brought it to a dealer, told them what we were doing and had a key cut with no registration whatsoever :D

[Hellbent]

well as per DC rules, and probably most dealers, you're not SUPPOSED to. but, sometimes the situation warrants bending rules....i do it too.

I got keys for my 94 at the dealership with vin and proof of ownership
