Programming Instructions:
Note: This is the same for many Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicles.
Grab your working remote. Push the LOCK button five times, allowing exactly two seconds to pass between each press of the LOCK button. Insert the ignition key and turn it to RUN. Push and hold UNLOCK on the working remote for 6 seconds. Push and hold PANIC for one second while continuing to hold UNLOCK. Release both buttons at the same time.
Push any button on the remote to program it. Then push any button on the remote that was already programmed. It has to be reprogrammed. The remote is now programmed to the vehicle. Turn the key to OFF.

I read you post about programing a 2005 and 2008 Town and Country key. Everywhere I look it says I have to have 2 working keys to program the 2005. And, that a dealer is the only one who can program the 2008. Are you saying there is actually a way around this.
Please clarify – I put the working key in the ignition after pushing the buttons as stated. Do I keep the new key that needs to be programed in my hand? Or do I put it into the ignition to program it?
Thanks,
David

I have the same question. Did this ever work for anyone?
Bob Mason says
First, you only need ONE working remote plus one unprogramed to use this procedure. Using the programmed remote, hit the lock button 5 times at 2 second intervals. Then insert the PROGRAMMED key into the ignition and turn to the on position. DO NOT start the vehicle. Press and hold the Unlock for 5 seconds. While holding the unlock button press and hold the panic button for one second. Release both buttons together. On the new unprogramed remote, press ANY button, then immediately press any button on the old, programmed remote. Turn off the ignition and remove key. Both remotes will now be programmed.
This system DOES work. The alternative method is to take the programmed AND unprogramed remote, drive to dealership, let them do it and pay them $100 or more!
I recommend reading the instructions several times until you understand them completely. Then use the procedure….
