I found a fobless key that will work with the JL locks. It's a 2016 renegade emergency key, also referred to as 2015 - 2016 Jeep Fiat High Security Emergency Key. I ordered online ($3) and had it cut local. There may be other keys that work, the dimensions are 3mm X 7.5mm.

Other than the grooves that are cut in the key, is there anything special about the key that make it "high security"? I seem to remember that some car manufacturers actually had some sort of resistor in the keys as a security mechanism at one time. If the key is just a piece of metal, then it would be a simple matter to make a new blank out of a piece of brass and take it to a locksmith to have the grooves cut in it.

Just a piece of metal.

This is an un-chipped key. All those reading this thread need to realize this..

@Jebiruph ... Cut local by what kind of shop/store?

2015 - 2016 Jeep Fiat High Security Emergency Key might be confusing. This is just the emergency key part of the high security key, just metal - no chip or electronics.

@Jebiruph

Excellent info you have provided! It is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I just ordered 2 on eBay.

p.s. Did you just go to a local locksmith to have it cut?

You need to research this stuff so you understand ... Based on this post you have some misconceptions.

For what it is worth, a Faraday bag would prevent reading of a fob that was in such a bag.

That was my reason for posting the video, to show the importance of the Faraday bag.

Thanks for the tip- my JL isn't even delivered and I just ordered two of these @ $2.40 ea + $1.31 shipping. I always prefer having a spare key hidden somewhere on the vehicle in case I lock the keys in there.
Thanks!
