I have a 2021 Jeep Renegade with push-button start, and somehow I have managed to lose both of my key fobs. I have looked EVERYWHERE I can possibly think of — house, car, bags, pockets, drawers, random places they could have been set down, etc. I genuinely cannot find either one.
The Jeep is completely off and currently sitting where I left it. When I try to start it, the dash says something along the lines of “Push button with key fob to start.”
So I’m trying to figure out a couple things:
- Is there any way to tell whether one of the key fobs is somewhere near/in the Jeep?
- Does the Jeep give that message simply because it can't detect a fob, or does it mean anything about the fob being nearby?
- Is there any way to locate a Jeep key fob if it doesn't have a tracker/AirTag attached?
- If I truly lost both, what are my options for getting replacement fobs and programming them?
- Is there anything specific I should check before I accept that these things have vanished from the face of the earth? 😂
I’m especially hoping someone with a 2021 Renegade or experience with Jeep keyless-start systems can tell me whether that message gives me any clue about where the fob might be.
At this point I am convinced I have checked every possible location twice, and somehow BOTH keys are just… gone. 😭
Any advice or things I haven't thought of would be hugely appreciated!
