Jeep Compass Key Replacement
Jeep Compasss have been on Dallas–Fort Worth roads since the 2006 era, and across 4 key generations this model has used 4 different key systems — philips crypto 2 / id46 / pcf7936 / pcf7941at; remote-head / flip transponder; smart proximity; hitag aes / id4a / pcf7953. Whichever yours is, DFW Keys 4 Cars cuts and programs it at your location, 24/7: spare keys, lost-everything replacements, fob programming, and lockouts. Call (214) 717-6398.
About Compass Keys
The table below is our verified key reference for the Jeep Compass — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer family each generation uses. Generations overlap at boundary years, so we always confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.
| Model / Generation | Years | Key Type | Transponder / Immobilizer | Blade / FCC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compass | 2006-2016 | Philips Crypto 2 / ID46 / PCF7936 / PCF7941AT | KOBDT04A, OHT692427AA, 05191962AA | |
| Compass (MK) | 2007–2016 | Remote-head / flip transponder | Philips Crypto 2 ID46 (PCF7941) | Y160 / Y159 keyway |
| Compass (MP) | 2017–2023 | Smart proximity | Hitag AES / ID4A — ID47 (PCF7953M) | SIP22 (emergency insert) |
| Compass | 2017-2021 | Hitag AES / ID4A / PCF7953 | M3N-40821302, 68417821AA, 68250343AB |
Security System & Immobilizer
Jeep security follows the Chrysler ladder: Sentry Key 4D64 and ID46 transponders, fobik keys, and today’s Keyless Enter-N-Go proximity fobs with Hitag AES encryption.
On the Compass specifically, the immobilizer families we see are: KOBDT04A, OHT692427AA, 05191962AA, Philips Crypto 2 ID46 (PCF7941), Hitag AES / ID4A — ID47 (PCF7953M), M3N-40821302, 68417821AA, 68250343AB. A key that is cut correctly but not programmed to this system will turn the locks and never start the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Jeep Compass Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my Compass. What now?
We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site. No tow, no dealer wait — this is our most common Compass call.
Will a hardware-store copy start my Compass?
It will open the doors and nothing else on transponder-era cars — the chip inside the key must be programmed to the immobilizer, which is the part we do curbside.
My Compass is older — do you still stock keys for it?
Yes. We carry blanks and chips going back to the 2006-2016 generation (philips crypto 2 / id46 / pcf7936 / pcf7941at), and a code-cut fresh key usually turns a worn lock better than any copy of your worn key.
