Amazing job on this video. The process went a little differently than you described, but you got me close enough that it was simple enough to figure out .Probably the highest value video I've ever seen on RUclips. You saved me a ton of money. I really appreciate the information. I spent just over $20 on a key, a fob, and the OBDII USB cable. My local Lowe's cut the key at no charge, since the guy told me you pay for the key not the cutting. As a bonus, the FOR Scan software, that I didn't even know was available to the public, helped me diagnose the AC problem on my other truck. I searched for hours and your video was the only video I found that helped me out. Way to go. Keep up the great work!
Many thanks! Much, much appreciated. Followed instructions and all went well. Ford dealer cut my keys for $5/key, very much surprised but happy! I thought they charged $5 just to breath in dealership.
Followed your video with my 2014 Ford 150 FX4 and worked like a charm. After programming the key I only needed to turn it Off/0n 8 times in the ignition to program the remote buttons. Thanks a lot!
Ok I figured it out finally... I definitely stumbled cause of the windows 10 issues with this procedure. Thx! For all ur help and thanks to all the guys on the forum...all their experiences let me piece everything together.. Took me 7 hours or reading every post on the forum... but it’s done ✅
This video was incredibly helpful! I just had success with 2 new keys from Amazon. One thing was tripping me up that I want to comment about that may help others: The dialog that pops up at 9:49 about counter of programmed keys. I was doing like you and just clicking ok hoping that the count would increase - it didn't, and I tried a bunch of times with both new keys. It was hard to tell exactly what the dialog was telling you to try, so I did this: After the dialog pops up, leave it open. Then, turn the key in the ignition to Off, wait a few seconds and then turn it back to On. Then click ok on the dialog box. Boom! That increased the key counter for me. Worked for both of my new keys! I hope that helps someone. Also, as much as it seems like you should, don't enable unlimited keys. That made programming fail. Thanks a lot for this, bro!!
wanna give ya a big shout out cause this saved me i had one half broken key an dealer wanted an absurd amount to make another key this got me 2keys an 2 fobs for under 50 bucks ! again thank you for this video great job with the tutorial
Great stuff! A few instructions in the tutorial have changed, but it’s pretty straightforward. The program now needs to be downloaded and installed first. You’ll click the bottom left button once the program starts up, and it will give you the ID. You’ll then create an account and register that ID. Bought a key on eBay for $10, an OBDII tool for another $10, took the key to ACE and they cut it for free. $20. Sure as hell beats the dealership wanting $200.
You are lucky getting some one to cut one so easily. I went to through 4 different places before I could get some to just cut the key. Most places just refuse to do it for you.
I just did this today. I used a similar ELM 327. I also went to Home Depot with some blanks I brought in, and they cut it for free using the “old machine” they had. I have new 2 keys and only spent $40!
Very helpful thank you, want to do this to my 2008 Mazda 2, I bought a v1.4 Elm 327 500k wired adaptor with hi-can switch years ago but never needed to use it on my old Mazda 3 but my new Mazda 2 only had 1 none remote key when I bought it, FORscan connects to my car and shows pats programing and currently have 2 keys stored, I have a lot more options for pats showing on my FORscan but it is showing "program ign key" which is what I need as I ain't erasing keys so will use that as soon a my new oem keys come.
Great video , Thanks. 3 years later ,,, How is the truck runnung? I noticed a momentary ticking in your engine when you started it .. the notorious symptom that you need a timming chain job.
I got rid of it a few months ago. The frame was rusted and the floors rotted away. It ticked the whole 7 years I owned it. Rust took it before mechanical failure.
I’m going to order the obd device now and give this a shot on my 2009 mustang and hopefully it will program my Oh eBay keys.. lol. I will update in a couple of days!!
Went to the home Depot in Kerrville TX, hoping to get my new keys cut. The one neanderthal I dealt with acted like I was stealing a car 😂. I'll just buy my own machine.
Yeah Home Depot is a gamble. A locksmith can cut the keys but then they have their own issues because they often offer these same programming services.
Homedepot can cut the keys u bring in the problem is they cant charge u for ur own property so they say they cant cut them. I've had 2 keys cut in the past 2yrs
This is a very good video. I was able able to program one key without any problems. The second key will not program even when using either the original key or the newly programmed key. Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Wait so you have to register And then wait for approval to make a key that will actually start the car. Also was not aware that the key would turn but not start a car like that. Thanks for the education
Thanks I'm going to do this tomorrow when my keys come in and I get them cut just wanted to know what's the best way to unplug everything when done programming
@@striker1211 thanks very much just wanted to make sure because one person said if you just unplug it it could brick the computer while the program is on
Will this work for 2000 F150 XLT? I tried programming my remote and it won't go into program mode. And I only have one Key also so I was wondering if this will work for my 2000' F150???
Will I need the laptop connected to the internet while in the car executing the PATS programming? Everything is all preinstalled and ready just like u do in ur video.. all downloads and installs complete... Don’t think I need internet access while programming but want to make sure and ask..
hi, this is some really good info. Can this program work on other vehicles such as BMW, Mercedes and Audi? Also is there any other way to program a key using a duplicate?
I'm not familiar with that adapter, I'm unsure if it supports hs-can mode. I would contact their support and verify. You could always try it and if it doesn't support it forscan will tell you.
I keep getting “no adapter found. Check connection and try again” Everything is plugged in properly, WiFi is connected. My driver install didn’t come from the “setup.exe” like urs but I did get that window for install, uninstall, and it said the drivers were installed with success. Switch is on hs... What am I doing wrong?
Open device manager from start menu and look for the adapter in the list of devices. See if there is an exclamation point next to it. If so, right click on it and hit properties. It will show an error code on that screen.
Hey, I'm stuck at the part where I have to install the Driver into the system. I go into the setup properties but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
If it's not loading the file properties, and you've extracted the file as shown in the video, something on your windows install may be corrupted. Do file properties open for any file type? You can actually skip the step of checking the digital signature if you are 100% sure you are downloading the driver from the manufacturers website.
There are a few other options in the FOR Scan software under the PATS programing. I'm sure one of them applies to creating all new keys. I'd do more research and be sure before you start playing around there.
@@striker1211 Hey man I have one more question, so I had to order a new PCM for my f150 and they did program it back to my original vin for the truck and they did tell me that I’m going to have to get the keys reprogrammed. So will this process that you’re doing here reprogram the keys to the new PCM?
@@striker1211 I got it fixed, you know the option where you can erase and program keys, that does work because I had to erase mine out of the Pats and reprogram all of them in order to get mine working.
12 min of chatter what was all the talk about downloading ? when did the blank fobs get programmed ? did you or the unknown blue device actually program the blank (new) fobs ? what was the point of joining some …… online organization ? why downloading (software ?) was it for the blue device ? was the blue device electronically connected to the truck computer somehow ? could / did the blue box automatically activate several fobs in “ seconds ” ? to much detail for what purpose ? i'm still confused abt what i watched and what happened
What if you lost all the chip keys that came with the vehicle? Now I only have nonchip duplicates I previously made for when I lock my keys in the car. Guess I’m fucked huh?
It's been a while since I did this but I seem to remember that you needed at least one chipped key. Mobile locksmiths might have the tool to reprogram the computer and save you a tow though.
There are several options in the FOR Scan software under PATS. I'm sure one of them is for creating all new keys from nothing. You probably need to do more research before messing around in there.
I figured if you put one of those keys in the ignition without it being programmed to the vehicle it would set off the alarm. You don't need to subscribe to the Forscan Forum in order to get the software.... however, you do need a key in order to access these higher level features of the software....the alternative is to pay a $12 annual subscription to program keys, fobs, etc. Although, $12/yr is cheap considering all you can do with the software. I'm gonna have to do this on my 2005 Ford Taurus because it only has 1 key, and to my knowledge doesn't have remote keyless entry but I don't think there's any way to find that out, but don't care if it does or not honestly, it runs/drives and gets me around, I just feel better having a spare key in case I lock my key in it LOL...not that I've ever done that before...yeah right LOL. Supposedly you can program a key without the software by simply putting the unprogrammed key in the ignition, turning it on and letting it set for about 10 minutes, then turn off the key, then back on and repeat the ignition on for 10 minutes process, turn off the ignition, remove the key, reinsert the key, and it should start...gonna try that first to see if it works, otherwise I'll go to the ole Forscan software LOL. Figured what the heck, got the car, needs a 2nd key, may as well experiement LOL.
You can’t, I called Tom’s key company and they said Ford requires 2 master keys, I had to just go to a locksmith and he charged me 50 bucks to do another master key
Followed your instructions but it didn't work for my 2003 F150 Harley Davidson. After searching I came across this video: ruclips.net/video/72kRKVV0aJ0/видео.html which showed me that for the older trucks you have to erase all keys and then program the 2 you have (including the one original that works). Just wanted to let people know that your way works for the 2005 models but it's different for the older trucks. Thank you for the video and information!
@@striker1211 Thank you for responding to my question and I hope that I can figure out what you are talking about on this video when I get the OBD device I ordered thank you again

My F150 came with just one key. You helped me a lot. Now I have 3 working keys. Thank you.
Leave it to a young man to figure a way around paying a locksmith or dealer hundreds of dollars. Bravo! I'll have to try this.
Worked great for my 2006 and 2011 F150. On the 2011 it prompted to insert the new key before the 12 minute wait but still worked fine.
That's the same way it worked for me on my '08 F250
Followed your video with my 2014 Ford 150 FX4 and worked like a charm. After programming the key I only needed to turn it Off/0n 8 times in the ignition to program the remote buttons. Thanks a lot!

Don’t think I need internet access while programming but want to make sure and ask..
It doesn't download anything to work, but you may need to connect periodically due to the license validation of the software.
Great video. Can you explain why this will not work on the 2004 Heritage, which is what I have.
The heritage is just a 2003 that they rebadged for a half year run in 04. You'll need to follow instructions for a 2003 with the older key system.
this can work for a ford explorer sport trac 2001?, thank you for your respond.

hi, this is some really good info. Can this program work on other vehicles such as BMW, Mercedes and Audi? Also is there any other way to program a key using a duplicate?
This will only work if the car uses fords pats system, FORscan is designed for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.
Will this method work on a 2014 Ford F150 FX4?
is this forscan programing possible with Veepeak OBD2+. if so could use some serious help lol
