2KE — Customer Preferred Package - Ke. This code identifies a factory option package or special-edition equipment group. Browse Sales Code codes →

I asked the parts department about 2KE on my 2012 Chrysler 300, but they could not give a clear answer. The decoder lists “Customer Preferred Package - Ke. This code identifies a factory option package or special-edition equipment group” What vehicle details are needed to resolve the meaning correctly?

A window sticker is helpful for customer-facing option names, while the build sheet is usually more detailed. If they disagree, the vehicle-specific dealer equipment list can help connect the sales name to 2KE.

This sounds more like a documentation mismatch than a decoder error. Different databases often shorten the same factory description in different ways.

On these vehicles, similar descriptions can use different codes because of supplier changes or package combinations. The code itself is useful, but the VIN-specific parts catalog is better before ordering anything.

Some codes are reused across several brands, but that does not always mean the parts are identical. Model, trim, drivetrain, and production date can all matter.

The wording may be abbreviated because these were originally production codes rather than consumer descriptions. “Customer Preferred Package - Ke. This code identifies a factory option package or special-edition equipment group” is a reasonable plain-English reading, but the exact implementation should be verified for the 2012 model.
