So, my WIN module took a crap in a big way. Where the key inserts broke and key won't stay in and now this morning I get nothing excpet "damaged key" and nothing else. No lights, fob won't lock/unlock door, nothing. I took it apart and see some burn marks on the circuit board. Odd thing is I can retrieve the PIN, but anything else I try to do doesn't seem to work.

I have a new WIN module on the way, but, not sure where to go in Alpha ODB to program it. I'm using the Windows version on my laptop and all I see seems to be the smart phone versions. Don't want to make matters worse by messing with stuff I shouldn't be messing with.

So I ordered the Dorman 601-082 off Amazon. Got a Genuine Chrysler WIN module instead. Part # 68210151ab. It is the one for the remote start, as it has the antenna connector on it. Interchange shows it is for 2008-2010. Can I use it on my 2011? Or do I need to send it back and get another one?

Really don't feel like being without my truck any longer.

OK, so, I decide to try it anyway, Plugged it in, programmed it with AlphaOBD, then reprogrammed the key fobs. Works like a champ!

Only thing I noticed is the range on my remote lock/unlock seems to be shorter than it was.
