My '95 T&C and my '94 T&C are both programmed to use the same
2 key fobs, mine and my wifes.

But I have to warn you - it seems line a useful thing - but the problem
is that since both vans sit next to each other, when you click on the
rear hatch button to unlock the rear hatch, both hatches on both
vans open.  Then what happens is invariably after getting the groceries
in or whatever, you forget to slam the hatch closed on the other van -
and then at 9:00pm at night your S/O looks out the window and sees
the interior light on, and you get a yelling at, and have to go out in
the cold and slam the hatch closed.
