"If you have a jeep that has the keyfob built into it, what every you do don't lose it. Just the key and getting it cut is $285 at the dealership.
Apparently, not only does it have the door locks and emergency button in it, but it has an electronic key embedded it in that activates the car. Just getting a regular key will allow you to turn the car over, but it will either shut off, or just continue to crank.
Protect that second key, like your ride depends upon it.

if you have both factory keys you can buy additional on amazon, have them cut at the hardware store, then program them yourself.. at least on jks. I know I have done it.
Don’t remember the exact technique but it is something like take a factory key, turn the ignition on but don’t start, hold the gas pedal to the floor unlil a light flashes, insert the second factory key, then finally the new key. Its in the owners manual.
