Programming your 2011 Dodge Avenger Key Fob can be a straightforward process if you have two already working key fobs. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to program an additional or replacement key fob for your vehicle. Please ensure that your Dodge Avenger was built for the USA market for this procedure to be applicable.
Before you begin, it’s critical to understand that this programming method only works if you currently possess two functional, programmed key fobs. If you only have one working key fob, or none at all, this procedure will not work. In such cases, you will need to find a professional locksmith or dealership to program your 2011 Dodge Avenger key fob. Click here to find a locksmith in your area who can assist with programming if you don’t have two working keys.
Here are the programming steps for your 2011 Dodge Avenger key fob:
-
Initial Key Activation: Insert your first, already programmed key fob into the ignition. Turn the ignition to the ON position and hold it there for 5 seconds. Do not start the engine. After 5 seconds, turn the ignition OFF and remove the key fob.
-
Second Key Introduction: Within 5 seconds of removing the first key fob, insert your second, working programmed key fob into the ignition. Turn the ignition to the ON position again (without starting the engine). Keep it in the ON position. You should observe the security light begin to flash. Additionally, you may hear a chime within approximately 10 seconds. Note that some 2011 Dodge Avenger models may only flash the security light without a chime.
-
New Key Fob Programming: Within 5 seconds after step 2, insert your new, unprogrammed, and correctly cut key fob into the ignition. Turn the ignition to the ON position (again, do not start the engine). The security light should be flashing, and within 10 seconds, you should hear a chime (if your vehicle is equipped) and the security light should turn off. The security light turning off indicates that the new 2011 Dodge Avenger key fob has been successfully programmed. Turn the ignition OFF and remove the new key fob.
-
Testing: Test the newly programmed key fob to ensure that both the key and remote functions are working correctly with your 2011 Dodge Avenger.
