I recently bought a used key with the key fob on the key and I bought a blank key shell and put the key head in the shell so it's like a new key. This key fob has the 6 buttons on the key head.Then I had the new key cut to fit my van and the key works fine in the switch but I can not program the key to work. This is for a 2006 dodge grand caravan. The key that I bought was from a 2008 charger. Does anyone know how I can reprogram this key ( or the van ) to work. I have 2 working keys and I tried the way the owners manual said but the van will not accept this key. Any help.Thanks

I don't know what it is your trying to do but those keys cannot be programmed without having a DRBIII scan tool which at $80K and restricted availability, I'm sure you don't have.

Thanks Hammer for your response. I have programmed a regular chip key to this van by using the owner manual but I just can't get this one work the same way. The reason I wanted to use this key is that it has the buttons to open the doors. I was trying to see if anyone has tried to do this and had a trick. Thanks

There is no trick.
Here are the instructions from the service manual
PROGRAMMING THE IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
- Turn the ignition on (transmission in park/ neutral).
- Use the DRBIII(R) and select THEFT ALARM, SKREEM, then MISCELLANEOUS.
- Select PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS.
- Enter secured access mode by entering the vehicle four-digit PIN.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM AT ONE TIME. Once a key is learned to a SKREEM it (the key) cannot be transferred to another vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the DRBIII(R) will display one of the following messages:
Programming Not Attempted - The DRBIII(R) attempts to read the programmed key status and there are no keys programmed in the SKIM memory.
Programming Key Failed - (Possible Used Key From Wrong Vehicle) - SKREEM is unable to program key due to one of the following:
- faulty ignition key transponder
- ignition key is programmed to another vehicle.
8 Keys Already Learned, Programming Not Done - SKIM transponder ID memory is full.
- Obtain ignition keys to be programmed from customer (8 keys maximum)
- Using the DRBIII(R), erase all ignition keys by selecting MISCELLANEOUS and ERASE ALL CURRENT IGN. KEYS
- Program all ignition keys. Learned Key In Ignition - Ignition key transponder ID is currently programmed in SKREEM memory.
Also, here is a TSB concerning transmitter keys
