I used a locksmith in Innisfail, but for the life of me I can't find his contact info.

He had all the computer programs, obd hookups and everything to program it for a 2002 Liberty we had, programmed right own to the glass hatch button.

Soooooooo....call around and check.  It was worth the calling around.

Budget Locksmith in the NE has all the equipment and typically charge $100.00 to make a second key. Be aware that there are two ways to do it and the proper way is to make a second key. Some places will simply make a clone of your first key.

Now, this may not sound significant but if you have a proper second key made you can program a third key by yourself with nothing more than the first and second key. If you have a cloned key, the computer simply thinks you are trying to program a key without two original keys and will not allow programming of a third key.

FWIW, if you have AMA Plus, the lockout service covers up to $100.00 in the event you lose a key, I have now used this service twice at the above locksmith and both time AMA covered the new key. He did say they only cover it if you lose a key and not if you bought a vehicle with only one key.
