My husband was stuck in the drop off line at school when it said “not detected” 😂😮. I brought him the spare fob - still “not detected.” He called the Ford dealer he just bought his 2022 from - they told him to tow it! 😮 He popped on TH-cam and found this video - life saver! This worked - He called the dealership back to tell them about this video!
You are a life saver. We arrived in Chicago last night and ready to explore the city today. We couldn’t start our car because the key is not detected. Imagine how panic we were. We are 4 hours away from home. Thanks so much for your video. We are on the way to enjoy the trip in Chicago now.
Wow I can’t thank you enough 🙏🏽 I was ready to take my kids to daycare and when try to start my car like always I couldn’t. Don’t have any idea about Car start searching on TH-cam and I’m glad found this it’s really helpful God bless you😘
Thanks just saved me and my pizza lmfao. Thank god i wasnt up in the mountains yet. Thanks so much for the calm and great explanation. Good video, i wish more automotive videos had this quality, though usually im just glad i found the repair at all lmao
Underneath that pocket there is a chip reader that can read the chip that is inside of the key fob, if the key fob is close enough, even if the key fob has no power.
This just helped me on my dads 2015. I double pressed lock (since unlock button was broken for a while) and saw the lights flash after landing at the airport. I must’ve used the last bit of juice because I wasn’t getting a key detected after that nor were the buttons doing anything. Life saver!!
You literally saved me time and money. My question is, is this a charging station for the key because I placed it there and somehow when I took it out of the car. The key started to work again.
This is super helpful, however, I have an electric cooler installed where this would be. Is there another placebo could out this key? Car has started but it says no key detected. Can't shift to drive
Mine is attatched directly to the key blade and cant be separated. Not sure if this works on all models, but I was able to turn the electric on in my car, throw it in neutral, turn the key all the way back off, and then I can turn the engine on. it somehow overides whatever is locking it. Not sure if this is just some coincidental hiccup in my car, but it worked for me
Does this work if I get a new key fob made from a third party? I lost my key and ordered a new key fob. Wondering if I have to take it to the dealership to reprogram the key or was it that the original key fob was already connected to the truck so, without batteries or undetectable key the fob itself connected to the truck? (Basically, can I do this with a third party key?
The code is printed on a sticker in the vehicle, some interior trim will need to be removed in order to access it. We actually don't have a video on where to find it yet for the Explorer but if you search around on TH-cam you should be able to find one.
You can't - you need two working keys in order to be able to program a new one yourself. The only other alternative to the Dealer would be an Automotive Locksmith.
This only works with a key that is already programmed to the vehicle. There is a chip in the key that the vehicle can read if the key is in the right spot - even if the key has no power.
I looked up 2003 Ford Explorer and this comes up instead, never pressed play but played anyways, now get a like but its a DISLIKE AS DESCRIBED, DON'T USE A 2003 TO DO YOUR FOB ON A 2020. 1,000% DIFFERENT!!!
Dude. You literally saved me from being stranded in the middle of nowhere just now. Thank you so much!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Same!! I’ve had this thing for literally less than 24hrs and it crapped out on me.
YES THANK YOU!
Same! Thank you!
Just worked for me. But how does it know it’s the right key?

A dealer should know this.
Just pay money to get it towed. 😆

Thank you so much we were stuck in the middle of a snowstorm very helpful👍
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Thank you for explaining this so well! What is that little pocket in the center console and why does this work? I'm so curious!
Underneath that pocket there is a chip reader that can read the chip that is inside of the key fob, if the key fob is close enough, even if the key fob has no power.

Thank you for posting - saved our trip
Was having intermittent issues, made it to a battery place but I knew there had to be a way to get it to start!
Dude your video SAVED ME! I have a 2017 explorer and it has a similar slot. The car started right up when I dropped the fob into it. THANK YOU!
You're welcome! Glad it helped

You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Literally just saved my life!!! I’m stuck with two babies in my car!!

You literally saved me time and money. My question is, is this a charging station for the key because I placed it there and somehow when I took it out of the car. The key started to work again.
Glad it helped! No, it does not charge the battery
You just saved me and my friends life. God bless
Glad it helped!

not sure on that

the key can be third party or OEM but it must already be programmed to the vehicle for this procedure to work
Thanks so much!! This works very well.
You're Welcome!
Thanks! So is no key detected a result of low battery?
A dead or low key fob battery is the most common cause but can also indicate an issue with the fob itself
Thank you! Rental car key died on me with no warning!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Can you do a video on how to program an 3rd key fob for smart keys on a 2023 Ford Explorer?
The information that I have shows there is no manual way to program fobs for a 2023 Explore - you will need an automotive locksmith or dealership
Donde lleva el inmobilizador?
Can it be used like this or or only works once?
there is no limit on how many times this will work
Life saver thanks
You're Welcome!
also, put ur key in your coffee/softdrink chamber (rear). Key buttons facing up the cieling.
Thanks! 🙏🏼🇺🇸
You're Welcome!
Great help to thx I'm longer stranded again thx
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Just bought this car! Question where do I find the door code? I bought it used from a dealership and I don’t know how to figure it out!
The code is printed on a sticker in the vehicle, some interior trim will need to be removed in order to access it. We actually don't have a video on where to find it yet for the Explorer but if you search around on TH-cam you should be able to find one.
Your a god
Worked perfect! But how?
You're Welcome! The key fob has a chip in it the vehicle can read - even if the key fob has no power
Ty 🙏🏼
You're Welcome!
Thanks so much!
You're welcome!
THANK YOU
You’re Welcome!
Very nice
Thanks!
I followed the procedure you gave on putting the fog in the little pocket in glove compartment nothing happens
The undetected fob should not be located in the glove compartment but in the center console , that you have to open, as shown in the video
Doi have to do this every time now
changing the battery in the key fob will usually fix the issue - if the issue persists, the key fob may eventually need to be replaced
Thank u for the info. I tried it still wont start 😥
If this method will not allow you to start then you may have an issue with the vehicle itself, unless the key has been damaged.
My key fob starts the truck But when you get in press the button it will not work
What's the underlining issue here?
the most common cause is a dead or low key fob battery
What about mine, no key detected does not come out when i press the start button
is the vehicle battery dead?
Thanks
You're Welcome!
one of my doors not opening what should i do ?
If just one of your doors is not opening that sounds like an issue with the vehicle itself rather than anything to do with the key fob
Absolute livesaver
Glad it helped
Tysm
You're Welcome!
It’ll save me time and money for towing to get me rolling.
what if the center console doesnt work😭
What about if this doesn't work
Then you may have deeper issues with the vehicle
I have only 1 key fob programmed in. How can I program the second key fob? Without going to a dealership.
You can't - you need two working keys in order to be able to program a new one yourself. The only other alternative to the Dealer would be an Automotive Locksmith.
@@PYR-Auto Pitty. Chevy allows to programme the second one at home.
Yeah but... Youd have to live with a Chevy!
@@Iveseensomethingsinmontana Haha nice one!
Good
Thanks
Why Does this work? Couldn't somone steal your car then?
This only works with a key that is already programmed to the vehicle. There is a chip in the key that the vehicle can read if the key is in the right spot - even if the key has no power.
@PYR-Auto cool thanks.
I use that pocket in the center console to hide my….tobacco.
lol
