    I have to say, I was super skeptical about this process with my 2014 F150. Bought it used a month ago and it only came with 1 key. Ordered a generic all in one Key / FOB with Lock, Unlock, Panic & Remote Start and this process worked 100% and every button on both remotes now works. Did it in 10 seconds in a parking lot waiting for a store to open. Thanks so much for saving me some $$$!

      I bought a 2014 F-150 with only one key as well. Ford dealer quoted me $100 for the key & $200 to program it. what a rip off. Ace Hardware quoted me $239 for the key. While talking to him I discovered I have the remote start.
      I see blank key online for $29.95. How do I get the blade cut? Will any locksmith do it? One I have 2 working key I can get my key pad code.

    Bro thank you so much, this worked easily for my 2014 Ford Explorer. At first it didn’t want to work so what I did was get out the car, lock car with the number pad, unlock the car and try it again with the door open and worked how it should.
    To program two keys you just need to press the buttons for each fob before you turn the ignition off.

    I brought two key fobs from Amazon and I followed the steps and it worked and I’m so glad to work. The key fob to key fob on Amazon was like $25. I also paid seven dollars to get maybe eight dollars to get each key cut from Amazon so maybe a total of $35 maybe more However they was going to charge me maybe $100 just the program the each key fob or $150 per key + $80 fee to program for each key business so I’m so glad I’ll watched RUclips thank you again I appreciate it

After watching your video I programmed the keys the dealer said would not work. And now both keys work to lock, unlock and remote start my truck. Did I say when I bought my truck it only came with 1 key. Your AWESOME

    I bought 2 new keys for my 2013 f150, got them cut, I programmed them both no problem and the keys worked no issues with security but the fob portion wouldn't. That's how I got here and this process worked no problem, but for some reason I can only get one of the fobs to program. They will both program when you go through the process, but only one of the fobs will stay programmed to be exact. I was thinking about trying to program both new key fobs at the same time but haven't done so as of yet. At any rate this process works for what I needed and I appreciate the info. Thanks!

      Little update, if you buy 2 new keys (got mine on Amazon for $38) and you program them yourself and then need to program the fob portion... When you get to the on position for the eighth time and the locks cycle, you can press any button like he says here but do it on both keys separately within 5 seconds of each other.

    My keyfob on the 2013 ford explorer is a key and fob together as it is in the video. the contact joints for the lock and unlock broke. I could unlock the door manually with keys but alarm will go off in 5 seconds unless i go start the car asap! annoying every time and quite embarrassing. seems like im breaking into my own car. Ordered another keyfob on amazon. $50 for a nice modern looking one. Follow the turn key 8 times method and was able to program my key. 1 minute was all it took and now i can unlock and lock with the new fob, attached it to my chain ring and now im good to go. Works great thanks to this video!

    @daveengstrom9250 3 месяца назад +1

    My 2011 needed a 2nd step: It takes 2 existing working keys. And your NEW key must be cut first at a hardware store or by a locksmith. Step 1) Put the first original key into the ignition lock and turn it to "on" (not start). The gages will light up. Remove that key. Put the 2nd original key into the ignition lock and turn it to "on" (has to be done within 5 - 20 seconds). Remove that key. Put the NEW key into the ignition lock and turn it to "on" (again 5- 20 seconds). Now the NEW key will star the car. Your video only shows how to pair the new fob to the door locks. The ignition interlock is a separate function.

    This worked perfectly. I need to have they key cut now. Does this program only the fob remote? Do you have to program separately for the key to crank the vehicle?

    2012 Ford Expedition. Tried this 20 times with original key fob and a blank key fob identical. The 8 times doesn’t do anything at all. No cycle of the locks.
