Programming blank Keys with Jscan- 2008 WK Grand Cherokee
Lost my only key on my “new” 2008 WK Overland for several hours and then I found it…so I figured I need to do something about it.
Bought WK specific keys(SUPALAND), by this I mean the key buttons are the same as OEM.
Anyway, the process to program keys in this method requires JScan, which I believe is free to download on any iPhone(probably android too) but to use the full functions you’ll need to purchase a license for $20ish bucks.
Once you get to this point connect to your Bluetooth OBD read (I use a BlueDriver) and you’ll need to read the PIN for a CURRENT key.
Do this with the ignition in RUN with engine off.
Using WCM PIN reading function
You will get a 4 digit code with a space in the middle, “xx_xx”.
Back out of there and go to
WCM IGNITION KEY PROGRAMMING
And insert your blank key. Then hit proceed and put in your PIN code WITH space.
The EVIC will say KEY PROGRAMMED and you’re done.
Writing this as it was a bit difficult to find this info out there.
