Thank you so much for this video. I just purchased a 2015 PIU that did not come with key fobs. After following this video I was able to get a new fob working. I just had to enable it in forscan then do the lock/cycle ignition.
2013-2015 will work with the 8 ignition cycle programming. On 2016-2019, you will need IDS or FORScan to program fobs. You can get remote start by adding a hood switch on 2013-2015. The receiver on the Interceptors do suck, you have to get really close to get the remote to work, half the time it doesn't.
@@dramonxfan6431 2020+ should be same procedure. Enable keyless entry and the programming mode will be in BdyCM on the module list called "RF Keypad Learning by 48-char TIC code". FORScan may not have it on the 2020+ vehicles yet, you may need FDRS or IDS to program the fob if it isn't there. Dealer key fob is required for 2016 onward (Part GB5Z-15K601-C). DO NOT open the package until programming is complete (remote is not returnable once opened). The code will be on the package for the remote to input.
I can confirm that this method definitely does *not* work on a 2017 FPIU. I believe that the 2016-2018 FPIU are the same. There is no end user programming mode, the only way is to enter a 48 character string which can be found on a sticker inside the key fob (OEM ones only) directly into the BCM. Aftermarket ones do not have that string of numbers. Up until very recently this could only be done with IDS, but FORScan added it as a feature on a recent update. I saw that you mentioned dark car mode, so I even tried to disable dark/silent car mode with FORScan in both the BCM and IPM and it still didn't work. You also need to enable RKE in the BCM or else even IDS or FORScan can not program fobs for my year. OEM fobs which will work on the 2017 are GB5Z-15K601-A (unlock/lock/panic) and GB5Z-15K601-C (unlock/lock/trunk). All features on those fobs will work when programmed properly. When I first bought my FPIU about two years ago FORScan did not have the programming feature so I enabled RKE then took them to a dealer to program. I was trying to program a third (aftermarket so I can't use the 48 character string) with your method, but it doesn't honk and go into "programming mode". Also, your car was locking all of those times that you tested it. Those running lights come on when it unlocks remotely and go back off when it locks remotely. It honks when you push lock twice (i.e. it was already locked when you push lock). As for the hatchback releasing, try holding the button down for 3-5 seconds. I don't need to on mine, but I've heard some reports that it needs to be held down. You also won't hear the hatchback unlocking *at all*, it's super quiet, you have to use your hand to open the latch to verify that it was unlocked. Just to be clear, the hatchback does not actually pop open when you unlock it with the fob. It only unlocks, and is pretty much silent when it unlocks. There might be a setting in FORScan to get it to pop open (I know that it pops open when I run a self-test on the BCM, but it only opens an inch or two and doesn't seem to have the hardware for power assist to open all the way). My vehicle does *not* have PATS so that is unrelated. I have programming/diagnostic tools that will program IMMO and fobs (Autel KM100 and Autel MX808S-TS) and even those can not program fobs for my FPIU. The 48 character string is the only way.
Another update.. While playing with FORScan I changed the trunk function to "power liftgate" or something to that effect instead of "unlock" to see what would happen. The fob would not open OR unlock the rear hatchback when I did that. Might be worth looking into if yours still won't unlock with the fob.
Yep when it honk like that or multiple times is cause you left a trunk or hood open that’s how my old cilvilan explorer was aka my sport now I have a Police Interceptor trying do everything like a sport had
Hey man, really like your content, keep up the great work. I’m having an issue where i am getting my car to go into program mode for the key fob but when i click a button on the fob, nothing happens. i changed out the battery of the key fob and same result, nothing happens. not sure what’s causing this. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate the response.
Thank a lot for these informative videos, how did you cut the Chinese keys to work in the ignition switch (aka to insert them into ignition switch to start the car)?
When you buy the keys they come as uncut blanks, You have to go to a locksmith or a key cutter kiosk in a store. It's usually pretty cheap. less than $10 per key. A lot of kiosks only let you use their keys but I convinced one to let me use mine. Know that if the Chinese key fobs don't work that a locksmith won't warranty the key.
Great video series, I have a 2015 fpiu. When I try this method it doesn’t work. After the 8x ignition sequence, the vehicle doesn’t go into programming mode. Any suggestions? Thank you
Had the same issue. Disable dark mode and enable remote keyless entry. And if it still doesn't work, try unlock lock unlock instead of lock unlock lock unlock.
Mine is a 2015 and it didn’t come with the keyless entry module so you happen to know where yours are located so I can take them out of a wrecked car and also look and see if mine did get installed after the factory
I called the dealer , gave them my Vin # and they said my 2013 was ordered without the module for Remotes to open and close the doors. Is there a way I can confirm that? I tryed to program the remotes both ways nothing happened.
Does anyone here happen to know where the keyless entry module is on a 2015 mine was ordered without key fobs and the dealer shows that I don’t have the module but I want to look for myself and then be able to install one I’ve taken off of a parts car
I have a 2013 FPIU just like yours. Do they all come with keyless entry, how can I tell if mine has it? I watched and installed a center console from one of your other videos and I found the module you said might be keyless entry
I'm not 100% sure how to tell if yours has it. It may have a plug in the door where the Bpillar touch code panel would plug in. The module is also used for TPMS so in some cases it could be exclusively for that.
@@depolicifyAll Police Interceptor Utility vehicles have it. You will have to enable it in BdyCM in FORScan. It's not like the old pre-2006 Crown Vics where it'd actually be missing the hardware. It has it, it's just disabled via software.

Hi! I have a 2013 police interceptor utility. I am following this process, but dont hear the click of the doors locking when I am done. Am i doing something wrong?
@@depolicify you know what, I just tried that and I heard the click this time! However I got the wrong fob I think because it’s not doing anything. Do you happen to know of a cheap fob that would work for these cars? Thanks!
no mattr what i do it doesnt enter program mode and when i try and use forscan it telling me my car isnt registering to turn it on but i done this already i dont know what to do im going to return this adapter then buy another 1 maybe its that but its saying its working he car isnt reading idk im lost
@@depolicify i had went on amazon and typed in ford pats. A obd came up elm327 i believe basically a obd with a usb cable. I downloaded forscan free 2 month trail. Got into the vehicle bcm and disabled dark mode and turn on remote unlock. Wala it worked. I was able to put the vehicle in program mode by taking it out of dark mode.. thanks for help. Question since you changed everything out. Would a ford screen from a regular explorer work in the police units?
@@dallasgreensmoke Good to know. My understanding is that if your car has sync already installed then you can upgrade to another sync system with a different screen. If you are like me without sync then you are limited to only installing an aftermarket radio, and there's not many options out there.
@Arshak200 We just bought a like-new, used, 2020 Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid SUV and it came with the standard key (no PATS chip in the key). I tried to get a keyless remote for door lock/unlock and the Ford dealership looked up the VIN # and found out ours didn't include the "keyless entry" option. So it doesn't have the wiring/technology/hardware to use a keyfob. I just tried this 2nd trick and it didn't work on our unit either.

I have a 2013 PIU, I can confirm the programming works, and remote start does work once enabled properly with FORSCAN despite no special wiring.

You needed forscan to do this? I can’t get mine to enter program node
