Dodge Neon 2004-2005 Key Programming Procedure
The following are the key programming procedures for Dodge Neon for the year 2004 and 2005.
ADD KEY (Must have two working Sentry Keys):
1. Put one of the two current keys into the ignition and turn to the ON position.

6. Put a new key into the ignition and turn to the ON position.
7. After ten seconds, a single chime will sound. The theft alarm light will turn off. Wait three seconds and turn key OFF.

About Dodge Neon
The second generation model was first sold in the year 2000, and manufacture ceased in the year 2005. Only a four-door sedan was available in the second-generation Neon. The 2.0 L SOHC engine was the only engine available in various global sales territories, including the United States, with a power output of 132 horsepower (98 kW). A 150 hp (110 kW) Magnum engine version (with an active intake manifold and other engine changes to improve power) was available as an option. The redline for both engines was 6762 rpm.
The second generation of the automobile was more refined than the original. The second generation Neon was billed as having over 1,000 enhancements over the first version. The frameless windows of the original generation were replaced with a full-framed door. Other NVH improvements have been made. The extra weight was due to the new interior and its larger dimensions. The DOHC engine (code name ECC for Chrysler) was no longer available.
After a one-year break, the R/T trim returned in 2000. The R/T featured a new SOHC Magnum 2.0 L engine with 150 horsepower (110 kW), 16-inch (41-centimeter) wheels, a spoiler, dual chrome exhaust tips, a faster steering box, and firmer springs. The spoiler on the 2001 and 2002 R/Ts was flat and shaped like a hammerhead. The R/T was available in the United Kingdom as a Chrysler from 2000 to 2003. The Neon was only available with a sport package for the 2001 model year, called the Motorsports Edition, which commemorated Dodge’s return to NASCAR.
It included an R/T wing, R/T 16 in (41 cm) wheels, R/T springs, Goodyear NASCAR raised yellow-lettering tires, ‘Dodge Motorsports’ side decals, white instrument cluster, and R/T steering box, and was available on SE, ES, and R/T versions. Except for the lack of dual exhaust, R/T lower moldings, fog lamps, and R/T distinctive front bumper, SE and ES cars looked like R/Ts. The SE and ES were only available with the base model’s 132 horsepower (98 kW) engine and an automatic transmission (unlike the manual-only R/T model, which kept the 150 horsepower Magnum engine).
On the SE and ES, an Appearance Package was available, which included the R/T wing and 16-inch wheels, as well as other options. The Plymouth Neon, as well as the Plymouth brand, was discontinued in 2001. On June 28, 2001, the final Plymouth Neon, which was also the final Plymouth ever made (a silver four-door sedan), rolled off the production line.
