A question for the locksmiths he

Would a locksmith be able to get me started if I somehow lost the RF
chipped
key that starts my car? This is a 2002 Chrysler minivan with a device
in
the steering column called an "immobilser" (and spelled that way, too)
that
will turn the starter but not engage the engine unless the chipped key
is
near the steering column. Do they have the tools to re-create that kind
of
key on-site or what? I know locksmiths can duplicate the key, but they
have
the original to start with.

I want to figure out if it's worth buying and hiding a spare key for
inside
the van somewhere (far enough away not to activate the immobilizer).

TIA,

Hi,
You can buy a blank key with virgin chip. Having it cut is easy but
programming is done by a dealer. I don't know locksmith have something
to program it.

Thanks for your input!
