Thank you! You saved me $150 (for 2 keys)!
Many don't know that the FOB and the Chip (of the chip key - RFID) use separate programming, both of which can be done with the vehicle, saving a ton of dealer/locksmith dollars!
I first programmed the FOBs to remotely unlock/lock/start/panic the vehicle.
Then, I followed your instructions to program the chip of each chip key. It took one cycle through with 2 factory keys followed by one after-market key. Then, I opened, closed, locked the doors, and repeated that procedure (2 factory keys per your directions then the other after-market key).
Worked perfectly. I now have 4 keys to my truck.
Again, thanks a million. Great video!
I only had one programmed key for my F150. I ordered 2 keys off eBay. Home Depot cut for free. Dealer charged $54.00 to program one. I did the second for free!! Thanks Brian!
You're amazing. This totally worked for me after the guy at the hardware store said that my new key wouldn't work.
Thank you it worked fine for my 2012 Ford Escape Hybrid and the fob buttons worked also!
I'm watching your other video about the exhaust manifold bolts breaking and how to fix the problem. You make it look so easy!
Worked like a charm. I bought two after-market chipped keys off Amazon, and the guy at my auto parts place cut them for free. Thanks for this video!
Subscribed to your channel...very good tips tricks and info. Enjoy the quick and accurate demos.
Amazing...now I have a 3rd working key. I won't be worried if I lose one key now!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I used the older early 2000s Ford key fob, and it worked just fine! Cool that it's backwards compatible.
Thank you for your instructions. I bought 2 blank keys on eBay for $19.99 and had cut at locksmith ($6.00 total). Followed your programming and now have 2 spares! Thank you!
Did you have 1 or 2 original keys? I only have 1
I had 1 original key.
@@davidmcdonald11 So how did you do it following his instructions if you only had "1" key, since his instructions required 2 factory keys. I ask because I only have 1 too. TIA
I had one key because my wife lost the other. From that I cut and programmed two new keys. I do remember watching several videos and maybe from that search I found a few other videos about it. Sorry, hope this helps. I know the dealer wanted $250 a key and there are locksmiths that will charge the same. It was so easy after they were programmed.
@@georgesaraamonette1782 I only have 1 original key. Did you find a way to program a second key?
Worked like a charm!! On my 2012 f150 THANK YOU SIR!!
Thank you, awesome, it worked. Quick and to the point. Love you videos.
Thank you so much amazing tip saved me some money you’re a gentleman and a scholar!
When I try to do this, my security light just blinks fast when I get to the new key. Any ideas?
To identify the difference between the 40 and 80 bit transponder keys, the STRATTEC 80 bit key blanks will have the letters “SA” stamped on the blade and the 40 bit key blanks have the letter “S” stamped on the blade.
Many thanks! Your technical info is outstanding. Really saved the day!
Apparently the fob needs to be programmed separately. Turn the key on/off 7 times and on again an 8th time. Locks should cycle. Press any button on NEW (I programmed remote) and locks should cycle. Remove key from ignition and locks should cycle again.
Press buttons on NEW remote and they should all work.
Thank you very much for your kindness. :).
Very helpful videos.
Thanks for this great tip .
Thanks again, very helpful your videos!!!
Guy on 2007 expedition did the 8 turn process. Guy had it done in 1-2 minutes top with 1 key!!! Will try every way possible.
How I have a 09 flex and couldn't get it to work
I like how the last remote didn't program the transmitter. Whats the issue with that? I had same issue and when I out my scanner it said it was already programmed. Defective fob? I tested and it sends signal just didn't program to vehicle
A question if I may. Is it possible to program more than 1 new key? because I saw a video where someone programmed two new keys which totaled 4 keys that could start his car. And if more than one is able to be programmed, how many new keys can be programmed until the car doesn't allow any more?
You are awesome bro!! Thanks heaps man!
Great video! I saw the instructions on a few websites, but your video is a lot easier to follow.
Great video explanation and video.
Thanku this really works !!! Incredible!!!!!!
Thank you thank you thank you did it works you saved me money
What if im putting in a new PCM. Will this work to program the keys to pcm?
love it. THANKS, BROTHER!
I had my keys stolen out of my 2011 mustang. I have my extra set so will I be able to reprogram my fob so the other key fob won't be able to unlock my car
I got a replacement door remote for a 1994 Explorer Limited but haven't found a way to get it programmed.
Can you help?
Thank you for the steps on how to program two key fobs. I was an idiot and tried to do it myself.
I keep getting ignition system failure when i insert the new key and it never programs? Any ideas? 2013 f250
Thank you the video was very helpful
Please help! I changed ignition lock and key and small chip that is under the lock and it has a ring around the lock... That everything is from the one another car, now i have THEFT light. What I must do? Please help!
can I take a 2008 f250 and program the combination fob/key style key if I have two of the older standalone keys? thanks
Hi. I would like to know if it works on a Mustang 07 and what happens if i only have one key and one fob. Thanks
Great video! Worked great on my 2013 f150, but the 4th key I programmed the fob on it will remote start the truck but will not turn off the truck with fob like the previous keys do, normally I can remote start but if I decide to shut truck off I can hit the start but once and it will shut off, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Great information thank you
I am installing a salvage yard steering column that already has keys with it, if I change the tumbler, can I use my original key, or would I have to use the keys that came with it?
Can this be done with a fourth and additional keys?
Will this work for 2013 F-250?
is there any different method to program the key to the engine? (PATS) thanks.
Hi. One of our keys stopped working,indicating a flashing "THFT" in the cluster. Can this key be reprogrammed or is it toast? Thanks.
I have a '07 Mercury Mountaineer that only has the security theft system module under the dash, if I replace that with a plug and play anti-theft and remote start module would it work? I'd like to think of it as a upgrade with remote start feature. Thank you in advance for your answer
have a question, does both keys have to be programmed or can 1 key be original and other programmed in and cut to the original key and the 3rd key that was from eBay for $12.00 and then cut from a locksmith should it work...
Does this work for Ford expedition 2016? Also what if i have one original key and the second programmed key. So can i program 3rd key by these two keys. Thanks
I have a couple of questions. I have a 2013 Expedition. I have remote start (separate fob) I purchased 2- 5 button keys, 1) Will the remote start also program? or is there a separate procedure? 2) I have 2 functioning keys with the exception of 1 door lock button does not work. Will the new keys still program and work on the new keys? Thank you! Chris
Will this work on for mustang gt 2014? Thanks in advance, very clear instruction
I have a 1997 Expedition and the original two keys. I bought two new transponder keys and had them cut for the original ignition cylinder code so they would also open the doors. Using the two originals first, I was able to get the PATS system to recognize one new key but I am having no luck trying to add a fourth key. Is that not possible with the A version of PATS that was in the 1997's?
Hey, I know I'm kinda late to this video, but let's say the key was lost completely, how would you reprogram a freshly cut key to the vehicle? I have no keys to the vehicle currently, but I have one cut for it, now I just need to program it to the car without any other keys to begin with. Any help would be great!! Thanks!!
Hello, any good system to install a remote start system for a 2010 ford scape
My current key does not have the key fob built into it (its a separate pod)... can i use this method to program a key with the built in fob to eliminate the extra fob from my key ring?
Thank you it did exactly what you said it would. Everything else said to turn to on then back off with in 1 second and the second working key on then back off and put the on that needs programed in turn it on and back off and leave in for 10 minutes lol
Thank you so much. I tried it on my 2013 Ford Fusion and it works on the first try.
hi question i had a new ignition switch put in my 2000 ford f-150. the ford dealer just put a new one tha had all new pats keys i had three pats keys for my old lock cylindar. i found a lock cylindar on ebay a guy could re key to match my old keys i had for put that in but how do i get ride of the three keys they programed to the trucks computer that work for the lock cylindar that is diffrent from my old keys?
I have one working key and the “valet key” with no buttons. Can I use these two to program a new one?
Thank you, but my 2006 F150 doesn't have that lock icon on the dash cluster. it just has a wrench, battery, check engine, brake, ABS, seatbelt, & airbag lights. In this case how would I do this procedure? Or is there another procedure for my truck model year?
Thanks
Had problem today. Customer only has one key and my Autel / Autek cannot add a 2nd key citing need 2 working keys. I can clone the chip but I ran out of a Ford shell to insert a super chip. Is there a way to work around 2 key limitation? Or I guess you have to do it as AKL situation in which I don't want to do.
I bought a used 08 F250 XLT, power package, and it doesn't do anything when cycling through the key setup 8 times. I've done this, in the past, with other vehicles and it has worked fine but this doesn't work. Is there another procedure that may work?
All (3) of my remotes stopped working earlier this week for my 2011 F150, including the original. I attempted to implement this method to reprogram them and none of them responded. They still start the truck but none of the buttons respond. The batteries are good. Any ideas short of a trip to the dealer for at least $140.00?
Awesome and easy!
I was going to ask a valid question that I see has already been asked but NO ONE seems to answer. I only go one key from the dealer. It was a good video but doesn't apply to me with only one key. wonder if its still the same on a 2018 Ford Transit T-150?
You'll have to have the dealer program it for you, as you need two "master" keys to program additional keys.
Does this also apply to the 2012 Ford Mustang base 3.7L ?
Hello, I have a 2018 F150 XL with the 128 bit transponder key. Don't notice a security icon on my cluster? Have two programmed keys in hand and trying to program a third. This procedure doesn't seem to work? Are there any additional steps? Thank you, Ken
I just bought a new ignition tumbler for my 09 Ford focus and I got 2 new keys that come with it , I heard I have to reprogram the new keys to the car but i need a locksmith to do it for me or maybe a mechanic that has the tool to do it ,would this work ????
Hey when I tried it with the two programmed keys but when I tried it with the replacement key the light began flashing. What does that mean?
Thank you man!!
bought a 2011 (10k MIles - Demo Truck) 6.7 super duty with remote start it only came with ONE key, how can i program additional keys when I only have one? can I use the only key i have twice (in place of the 2nd approved key) then program new keys?
I have got 2 key but spare key The doors are opening remotely. The car is not running.key chip is damaged.Can the 3rd key be used?
I am having an issue with programming my keys. I purchased two keys from Tomskey I programmed the keys worked but every now and than the gear shift locks and I can’t drive. What do I do. The engine runs but the gear shift will not move.
I bought a 2012 ford focus. It came with 1 key(original ford key). I bought two new ones and had them programmed at a Ford dealer. Problem now is the original key will start but won't unlock/lock doors or pop the hatch. Has that just gone bad on that key? I just did your video and no change in that key. All three still start the car ok. Thanks...
Im purchasing a new car starter remote exactly like what u showed for a 2009 ford focus ses, is it the same method to program?
Thank you it worked great took about one minute.
will this work on a 2009 f150?, i got just 1 key, i need a second one
I have a 2012 Ford focus, and those procedures do not work. Any suggestions besides taking it to a locksmith? I hope the keys are bought are good.
I have just one programmed transponder key, I need a method to program another key. Do you know some method with one key to program another key? I have a 2001 ford escape. Thanks a lot.
I only have 1 Ford key and 1 locksmith programmed key. Both keys work as in the video, but when I put in the new key, it blinks rapidly, and it never goes away. Do both keys need to be factory keys for this to work?
I have two keys that will start the vehicle but the unlock function on one of the keys does not work. The lock and remote start functions still work, just not the unlock on one of the keys. This is why I need a new key. Can you tell me if this procedure will work for my new key?
i only have 1 key. can i use the same key twice, then the new key or do i have to have 2 different programed keys for it to program the third
I'm wondering the same thing. What do you do if you only have ONE key? 🤔
Have
I know this is old but I too only have one original key and just got two cut. I can program them to operate the locks but they don’t turn the truck on. What to do?
Having the same question here
Me toooooooo
Hi, when I purchased my Ford Explorer sport Trac it came only with one key. Now I lost the key. Can I buy a previously coded ignition cylinder lock that comes with 2 keys? How will my truck connect to that new cylinder?
Not working for my 2011 Fusion. Even the locksmith couldn't get my new key to work. Does it have something to do with the FCC ID?
Can this be attacked from the other end? Can the transponder system be disabled? Sure seems like a lot of people are getting hosed for losing their keys or in my case buying a used truck with only 1 key.
I liked everything you said except the part about the possibility to ruin a good key. I have a Mercury Sable 2008 and just paid a dealer $60 to program a cheap ebay replacement key. I'd like to make a 3rd key using your method. I sure hope I don't kill one of the good keys.
Does this work with only 1 key already programmed and adding 2 new un programmed keys?
I have a question. There is only one vehicle key, but the key was not recognized and the key registration was completed through the program. Could the registration settings be unlocked because of the battery?
Do you need to have both remotes with you? Because I only have the key with a chip, but no buttons.
I bought a 2005 f150 a few years ago and it olny had 1 key, so I went Lowes and bought a new key for just under $100 but I don't remember how I programed it. My question is can I use the one original and one copy to program another. In the video you said 2 working keys which I have just one is not original. Thank for the info.
Hello sir. I have a 97 Ford mustang stuck in theft mode with one good key. It will only fire off and run with starter fluid. I was wondering if I purchased and programmed key fobs would that new key fob turn the theft system off so I can start the vehicle.
By the way you have excellent videos
I followed the procedure, inserted 2 good keys in ignition then inserted 3rd key with chip I bought from Ford parts. It did not work. Theft light kept flashing, did not clear. 2003 Ford Taurus. Any ideas what went wrong?
Hi Y'all. Where is best place to get remote car 🔑 for ford flex 2010? Is it accurate and safe besides the dealer to purchase mine with the correct part number online? I'm using my spare right now so i also wonder will getting regular copy made work without the remote?
I have a 2001 Explorer Sport and someone attempted to steel it and screwed up the key switch so I bought a used steering column with only one key and installed it ! It will not crank over and the thief light flashes rapidly then flashes once and then 5 more times and repeats ! I only now have the one key that came with the used column ! HELP ME PLEASE ?
I got a 2010 Ford Flex , the key won’t start the vehicle, anti theft blinking, I am thinking the key is bad, or do I have to reprogram it after changing the starter….? Any ideas?
So, am I screwed because I only got one key when I purchased the vehicle? I just had a copy made (with chip), but only have the one original.
Smarty The Pants same.
do you need 2 key fobs to do this or will 1 existing and 1 new work?
Is that the same set up for a 2008 Ford f150? Would I need master key in order for it work?
What if the Dash says "Key not programmable"? Even if the key is new from the dealer? The Dash already shows there are "5 admin keys" is that correct?
2008 Fusion- 2 oem keys; 1 working, 1 is non working as transponder. 'Trying to program 2 new chip keys. Can I use the working 1 twice or does it recognize as same key in again in the programming sequence ? End of the day, how do I get the 2d oem key reprogrammed w out a Dealer or these Locksmiths that are gouging (!) ??
What if u dont have the. Programmed key any more? I have an 08 Mercury Sable and I lost the key to it that I had just gotten replaced.
Can this work on a 08 crown Victoria police interceptor. So I’m buying 2 keys with the control fob from Amazon and have them copied to the original keys and do this same steps? To program them …
