CKESimpleKey CDPKA-7000 Dodge Jeep Remote Key
Product Information
The Simple Key is a remote key replacement for Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles. It is powered by the EZ InstallerTM. The instruction manual part number is CDPKA-7000. For more information, visit www.CKESimpleKey.com. The Simple Key requires at least one existing key that already works with your vehicle in order to use the EZ InstallerTM. If you have no working keys, return the Simple Key to the retailer where it was purchased.
The new keyblade must be cut before pairing. It can be cut at any local hardware store. The vehicle battery should be in good condition and fully charged prior to pairing the new key. Make sure to turn off headlights, radio, A/C fan, etc. to minimize battery draw during the process. Do not use the EZ Installer while the vehicle is in motion. Unplug it from the OBD port before driving the vehicle. Only original remote features will work, regardless of buttons included on the Simple Key. This key does not add remote features that your vehicle did not have before.
For security purposes, a tamper-evident security label is installed over the EZ Installer connector. If this label is missing, damaged, or the word VOID appears on the EZ Installer, please exchange this Simple Key for a new one at the retailer where it was purchased. Before pairing, familiarize yourself with the Simple Key’s compatibility with the make, model, and year of your vehicle.
Product Usage Instructions
The Simple Key requires two steps: Activation and Pairing. It is important to follow these steps in order to successfully complete the setup. If you skip a step, the key will not work properly, and you’ll have to repeat the setup process.
- Activation: Find your activation code in the compatibility lookup chart provided in the instruction manual. Locate your vehicle’s make, model, year, and button configuration for your key’s remote. If your FCC ID is OHT692713AA, use the activation code noted with two asterisks for your vehicle’s make, model, year, and button configuration. Check your key’s FCC ID by turning it over. The FCC ID is engraved on the back of the remote.
- Pairing: Once you have the activation code, proceed with pairing the Simple Key to your vehicle. Follow the specific pairing instructions for your vehicle’s make, model, and year. These instructions can be found in the instruction manual.
Make sure to activate and pair the Simple Key in the correct order to ensure proper functionality. If you encounter any issues, refer to the instruction manual or contact customer support.

KEY ACTIVATION
STEP 1 (OF 2) KEY ACTIVATION
Follow the steps below to ACTIVATE your new key. Once you have activated your key, follow STEP 2 (of 2) KEY PAIRING to pair the key to your vehicle.
- First, simultaneously press the LOCK and PANIC buttons on the remote. The light under the PANIC button will illuminate and stay on.
- Using your ACTIVATION CODE found in the chart, enter the first digit using the LOCK button, the second digit using the PANIC button, and the third digit using the UNLOCK button.
- For example, KEY CODE 314 is entered by pressing the LOCK button three (3) times, the PANIC button one (1) time, and then the UNLOCK button four (4) times.
- Now, simultaneously press the LOCK and PANIC buttons on the remote.
- The light will now blink back the ACTIVATION CODE you originally entered. If this does not match, go back to Step 1 to start over.
- For example, the indicator light for KEY CODE 314 will blink (3) times, pause, blink one (1) time, pause, and finally blink four (4) times.
- If the light blinks rapidly this indicates an error. Go back to ACTIVATION step 1 and retry the steps using your ACTIVATION CODE.
- NOTE: You may re-enter activation codes anytime before the key is paired to your vehicle. After the key is paired to your vehicle, do not attempt to re-enter or change the button code. This will cause the key to not work.
- Move on to STEP 2 (of 2) below to PAIR the remote to your vehicle.
STEP 2 (OF 2) KEY PAIRING
Instructions have timing requirements. If you wait too long between steps, your vehicle’s computer may time out, requiring you to start over. Once you begin the pairing procedure, move at a quick and even pace.
NOTE: If the EZ Installer is left in the vehicle’s on-board diagnostic (OBD) port for more than 5 minutes, an alarm will sound reminding you to remove it.
NOTE: If at any point the EZ Installer continues to beep rapidly, please refer to the FAQ section for more information.
- Find your vehicle’s make, model, and year in the Compatibility Lookup. Turn the dial on the EZ Installer to the position listed for your vehicle’s make, model, and year.
- NOTE: If more than 1 dial position exists for your vehicle, try the PRIMARY dial position first. If you are unable to successfully pair the key, try the ALTERNATE dial position listed for your vehicle.
- NOTE: One working key and the new key should be present during the pairing process.
- Enter the vehicle and ensure all doors are closed.
- Begin with the vehicle in PARK and the engine OFF.
- Turn hazard lights ON.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: The EZ Installer beeps 8 times after pushing the button to initiate the pairing process and will not pair the new key?
A: Your vehicle allows a maximum of 8 paired keys. If the vehicle already has 8 keys paired to it, a new key cannot be paired. If the EZ Installer beeps 8 times early in the pairing process, this indicates that the maximum number of keys have been paired. Please contact Car Keys Express customer service at 888-598-8910.
Q: Can I use the same EZ Installer on other vehicles?
A: No, the EZ Installer will be locked to the first vehicle it is used on. You may add more keys to the same vehicle again as needed, but it will not work on different vehicles. If the EZ Installer sounds 2 beeps at 1 second intervals, then beeps rapidly, this signifies that the device has already been used on another vehicle. Visit CKESimpleKey.com or your local retailer to purchase additional keys.
Q: The EZ Installer sounds 2 or 3 beeps at 1 second intervals 3 times then beeps continuously?
A: When problems occur during the pairing process, EZ Installer will beep an error code, followed by continuous faster beeps. The number of error beeps correspond to specific error codes, as explained below.
- Two distinct beeps at 1 second intervals indicate the device has already been used on another vehicle. The EZ Installer can only pair Simple Keys to one vehicle. The EZ Installer will be locked to the first vehicle it is used on. You may add more keys to the same vehicle again as needed, but it will not work on different vehicles.
- Three distinct beeps at 1 second intervals indicate the EZ Installer could not detect an original, existing key. Ensure an existing, working key is present. Remove the EZ Installer, and begin the pairing process again.
Please contact Car Keys Express customer service at 888-598-8910 for any questions.
Q: The new key won’t pair to my car?
A: If the EZ Installer doesn’t pair the key to your car, most likely an incorrect dial position was used. In this case, the EZ Installer will beep continuously after you press the pairing button. Check the compatibility section on pages 3 – 6 to confirm the correct dial position for your make, model, year, and button configuration of your original key. If an alternate dial position(s) is listed for your vehicle, unplug the EZ Installer, turn the knob to the alternate position, and try pairing again. If the key still won’t pair, please contact customer service at 888-598-8910.
Q: The EZ Installer was unplugged during the pairing process?
A: The EZ Installer must remain plugged into the on-board diagnostic (OBD) port until pairing is complete. If the EZ Installer becomes unplugged during the pairing process, turn the ignition to the OFF position, remove the key, and begin the pairing process again.
Q: The vehicle won’t start with the new key or old keys after attempting to pair?
A: Please call Car Keys Express customer service at 888-598-8910.
