Hi. I know this is an old video but I’m hoping you’ll see this comment. Thank you for posting this. You’ve just saved me £130 at Timpsons. My key fob became faulty on my 09 connect. I tried replacing the battery. No better. So I bought a replacement key from eBay for £10. Followed the fob programming from the van manual. The new key would then unlock the doors but not start the van. A red light on the dash would flash. Was about to get my pants pulled down by timpsons. Then found your video. Five minutes to dig out the chip and now my new £10 key works a treat. Thank you. Awesome video.
Hi there wayne!! 👋 Yes I have seen your comment!! 👋 I'm glad this video is still helping people!! 😃 £130 is a lot of money! Thanks again for your time to leave a comment, you take care out there bud!
This worked a treat thanks for posting. I can confirm you *can* just swap the back together with Transponder chip (l could’nt remove my chip as it was glued in) and snap together with new/donor buttons section then just push your old key onto it.
The programming took some attempts but works l couldn’t be happier!
Just saved me a hell of a lot of money....bought a second hand key fob for £3, after my ford focus key fob mysteriously died after changing the battery...so been having to manually lock and unlock for the past few months. Followed your video and I have a working key again! Thankyou so much!
I have a Ford Ka 2003. Remote was suddenly not working anymore.
Tried the 4 times on and off. No sound, but the red light in the clock stayed red for some seconds and after that the remote works fine again! Thank you for the video!
What an absolute legend 👍🏻👌🏻 my buttons have never worked on my key I’ve tried new batteries then played around with the contacts to the buttons and I gave up in the end thinking the key was knackered and just used it manually to lock and unlock and it’s the only one I got when I bought my van . Just followed your advice and now it works remotely 🤘🏻🙏🏻 thank you kind sir 👍🏻
thats worked , thanks alot, i didnt even notice the chip , i was like wtf is happening , immobilizer keeps kicking in. now ive moved the chip to a new fob, it works.
your a star bro...just saved me £90 ....got my replacement fob from the scrappy £3 out of a bucket of fobs .... did as you suggested... took a few goes but bong....press door lock button ....bong .... job done .... this works....thanks for posting
lee man EXCELLENT!!! I'm glad this helped you mate. thanks for your comment hope I got your thumbs up 🖒😉
thumbs up defo'
Just brought a focus and one key didnt work... i fitted another battery and no luck.. i used your tip to calibrate and all working fine now!! Thankyou for sharing your knowledge!
Mate saved me £££s in mine, bought another blank key for £5 off eBay for my fiesta, programmed it and it locked but wouldn't start. Found your video and now it runs perfect, thanks again 😊
cheers mate for your comment!
It's Called A Transponder Chip. Fine for all pre 2007. You can not do this for example with the blue key like on mk7 Transit. However this is a handy video that can save you pounds. You do not need to steal a key as breakers have tons & will only charge maybe a fiver.
Thanks bud for correcting me. take it easy
Omg just watched ur video n fixed my problem THANKYOU so much for sharing ur a legend 160 quoted n done it for 2.50 thank you 😊

Top man! thanks for the video. I bought a replacement key case from ebay but afterward its didn't start but remote lock works. After watching your video, I realise I didn't take the infrared out.
Brilliant fix worked first time - saved cost of a new key. Many thanks.

I suffering from last 6months for this issue unfortunately got your video bro., and i did as u said after got clear thanks again for your valide suggestion bro
Keep roking 👍🙏
My fiesta old cheap 2005 car, didn't even think of paying for a new fob, I'll try this though, sounds like an easy cheap solution, cheers
Thanks, this worked for me, I had recalibrated the key no problem so that it would lock and unlock the car but it would not start, I swapped over the glass thing and that did it, key now working fine. Bought key on Amazon for £11.00. I have been without a fully working key for months if only I had known it was that easy.
I know this is an old video (I'm posting on 31st Jan 2023), but this is the information I needed.
My remote stopped working after a vattery change and just won't reprogram. The key still starts the car. I obtained a new key, which is now able to unlock the central locking but won't start the car. So your video shows how I can fix it. Thanks.
Thank you for the video, but there are a few issues, not least that the key has no IR component at all. The glass transponder is an RFID chip that is linked to your ECU by a collar that wraps around the ignition barrel and needs to be in very close proximity to work. Different transponders can be programmed in, but that requires a special tool. The wireless circuit on the fob is linked to the 'Comfort Unit' that controls the central locking/doors etc. This can be programmed using the ignition sequence fairly easily. That is 433 mhz, again, not IR, which is why it can work in your pocket. The car doesnt need a wireless fob to run, it does need the RFID chip which is the immobiliser linked with that specific ECU.
Also misleading title, the key is not replaced it's the fob (remote)
@@antonioPaulino YES technically speaking, but why get all technical? Just watch the video and listen, HIS advice worked perfectly for me and alot of other people, His advice can save you alot of money, it did for me! One hiccup, make sure you scrapyard key buttons on fob feel tight on using, loose buttons will fail when programming new key in ( badly worn) regards.
So hes bullshitting then Matt?
Saved me a trip to ford cheers for the video about battery change for ford fiesta 👌
fella you are a legend. my key was doing my head in but thanks to your vid its good now.
Stu Waters mate thanks for your comment!! :D well done mate!! I'm glad my video helped you!!
i think the glass bit is called a transponder, but I have been known to be wong ! great vid by the way, keep em coming.......
Brilliant, my remote didn't work properly, got another mondeo for bangers, with a good working remote, did just like in the video, and there.. I got a good remote for my daily.. thnx mate!
no worries mate take it easy
Thanks, bought a key off e bay, swapped the transponder re-used my buttons, all working again, cheers
Top lad , saved me some dollar this did..the scrap man didn’t find me amusing though!! When you said he won’t mind you taking a key , obviously spare engines don’t fall into the he won’t care category😂😂kidding
Mate I tell you how you helped me after ages of trying .... I had the battery the wrong way round... thank you
Nice one 👍 I didn’t need to change anything but reprogrammed the key and works fine now
Absolutely Fantastic!!. IT WORKED for me too.Thanks very much for your help and very thorough instructions. Your tip saved me some £££. Top Man!.
ty bro for posting this video it helped me a lot and saved my money
i order via ebay complete key(need to be cut) swap the cutted part which goes in the ignition and swaped the chip you saved me 50€ for cutting the key

Thanks sorted my daughters car Thanks again James
Thank you my friend about the information. Yes it works my key again!
wicked!!
Brilliant vid, thank you.
Footnote: you can get a replacement fob very cheap online
really good video mate. just for info. the immobiliser is radio frequency. not infrared
Spot on.
Amazing mate, worked an absolute charm. Legend
Fantastic, you are a wizard, it works like a charm, thank you so much
Thanks a lot mate, saved me some money and you explained it very well !!

Thanks mate worked first time 😊
Thanks for helping me out, it worked fine.
You are a savior 🙏
Try just swapping the battery side with the chip to the replacement no need to dig the chip out .
Does this work? Really need help
Excellent video. Very informative and well made
Steven Mason that's mate don't forget to subcribe!!
ive had this issue with ford mustangs for yrs. from 96 to the 2009 i have now, ive had 3 the top part ends up coming loose an out of 4 mustangs its happen on all or was already like this from the time i got it an i was lucky at times an was able to catch it an didnt lose the metal part of the key or the black plastic part but ive also not been so lucky an ended up losing the key an only have the black plastic part left on my keyring an in that case i had to hold the chip section up next to the ignition as i started the car with the original door and truck key, if u just used the door an trunk key it would start an then shut back off with the anti theft light flashing. just picked up a 2009 mustang gt about a week ago an it was the same way as the one i lost the metal part of the key with so they had the black plastic chip tapped to the door an trunk key, it works fine but its a sticky mess an its even worse for wear then the 96 gt i had cause the loop that u would attach the black plastic part to a key ring had been ripped off an this seems to be really common but i own 3d printers now when i didnt the last time i dealt with something like this so ive come up with a 3d model quick that will hold it all together as one piece an keep from having to worry about losing any of it but its what u would imagine it would be, really really thick cause its basiclly stacking 2 keys ontop of each other so id like to get my hands on one that i could start cutting away the plastic to see if i could at least get it back down to the original thickness and if i can manage that ill be extremely happy. but one of the reasons ive always had to do it this way was cause i was never able to get a key cut an programmed cause they always told me the car was to old to have it done so i was pretty much told to figure it out. i was always lucky enough that i could manage to keep the cars going but if this happen to someone who wasn't someone who dealt with cars alot they would be stranded. for anyone who has this issue ive had countless times an has 3d printers, www.thingiverse.com/thing:6145698 hers what i came up with to just to keep the parts together an usable like a normal key, the thinner u can get it the better just sand away the material thats not needed or reach out an i'll make the changes to the model itself if u manage to get it really thin plus id like to know how it goes for anyone who trys to remove as much plastic as they can from the chip side.
Tried it and it works!!! Thank you very much.
Hey There!! Thanks for your comment im glad this helped you. Its a great fix!! :)
Thanks for the video man, I need a new key for my ford so gonna try this tomorrow. As I have a similar problem with the unlock button being temperamental and sometimes it works and other times it doesn't
You a legend mate!
Muchas gracias tronco!
Great Vid - spot on. Worked a treat. Thanks very much.
Hello sir, I want to make 2nd key bcs I lost the 2nd. So I purchased new remote 4rm Amazon. Remote is working new key is made by key maker. It opens the door with remote nd wt key but how to start the engine.. Does this remote comes wt the chip...?
Waiting for ur rply.
Thxs & Rgds
Top Tip mate....this just saved me a few ££££££'s
I think that you are wrong about the infra red (IR). I think that it is radio frequency (RF).
Yes, 90% of car keys I've seen do NOT use IR.
Yes - (RFID) Chip
Great info tho, nice to know brother...
It's definitely not infrared
YES you are so right sorry guys!! My Bad
I have a 57 plate focus with the door opening button not working.
Brought a new fob and just used the button top half from the new fob and the bottom half of the old fob with the battery in and it works fine.
You have to code the door locks by turning on and off 4 times in 6sec then theres a beeping noise and then pressing any button.
Then there`s no reason to have to program the transponder (BOTTOM HALF) as you have used your old one and saves having to pay Ford to program it.
Hi, you are nearly right, it's the P.C.B. board on new key that has to be programmed in with car alarm system using original chip, peace.
it works did it toda y ur a genius thanks
zammo your a legend thanks for the tip ...ps remmember to say no mate !!!
Well explained, good vid, cheers bud.
Thanks matey!
Thank you mate for the tutorial. My key works again :)
That good mate thanks for your comment!
Hi mate, I did everything exactly as you suggested but still, no joy. I was so sure that your great vid would finally solve my remote problem but, sadly it's still not working. I got as far as the first beep but nothing more.
Yeah that's all that happened with me. Put a new battery in and still only got as far as the first beep. Did you manage to get it working?
Peace
@@MrEvilWasp can happen, P.C.B. board worn, bin it! Had similar problem, peace.
Nice one fella..worked a treat
what if you just put together half of the original key with the IR sensor and the other half of the donor key with the buttons? I presume the radio sender for central locking is in the half with the buttons, not the half with the battery? Should work without having to get the IR sensor out?
just done it, works!
mate you just saved me going to a garage. brought new buttons of eBay didn't fancy spending to get some1 to program it
Just got a key off eBay, the circuit board hasn't got all that the old one has on it, I've done what you said, replaced old chip thing in new key, (new key didn't come with nothing) when you turn the key on and off, do you have to do it slowly, or fast . I can't get mine to work 🙁
What if you popped a new battery in the fob from the get go? No need to go nicking keys from a breakers .
good stuff worked on my focus 2005
Thank you I tried your trick the car beeps push button on the remote with nothing happened no other beeps from car when i press remote button what can be the problem in foucs 2006 please if you can help
You r the man bro great vid
thanks mate! glad to help
Cheers. This worked for me.
Thanks you! Great video. Well done

Yes mate ford focus no problem nice one saved me some dosh 😊
What i like to hear well done glad this helped you!
Thanks for this info. I did not know before!!
Thumbs up for this video ;-)
RaiSchwan thanks for your comment I hope this helped you :)
God bless you! Mine starter working after this
That’s so nice bro. Go on
cheers bruv it worked for me
hi, GREAT VIDEO. what about if the metal part is old and the car wont start? this could be the solution? THANKS!!
cheers mate, it works saved me so much time and cash. thanks again
no worries buddy glad to help
Hi HUBBY000001, I've done everything you said but my car will not give me a bong, does not make any noise what so ever. ?? and the buttons still don't work ?? but my car still starts ok. car MK 2 Modeo.
mine dont have info red it has a chip can i still do the same cheers
Is it ok to use a ford key that matches mine apart from the shank on donor key is flat where mine is round ?, great vid ;)
hiya chap, you sorted me out when i had a problem with my fob last year, my misses dropped my keys today and now it wont open or lock my f focus, should i try this again
Hi, I would, check battery in right, then check glass transponder ( chip ) can't check PCB board, if chip ok try to calbrate up, as in video, if it won't work get another key from scrapyard and follow video, you'll be fine! regards... if chip cracked ( I doubt it ) may cause fob to fail.
@@stormytempest3907 iv orderd a new key fob. i dont get it till may so ill let you no
@@stormytempest3907 got my key from china swopped the chip, worked great 6 £
thank you a lot bro, very helpfull for me!
Thanks matey!
nice job buddy thanks for sharing
Nice video mate :) Question regarding this key thing: how can i disable the "open boot" key, on random occasions it will just unlock the boot - usually with the key in my pocket when i do something (bend etc)?
Instablaster.
Any ideas how to switch to the flip key like ya said?
Hi mate... Do you hold the button in while its reprogramming or just give it a quick press?
I tried it several times and got the first chime but nothing happened when i pressed the button. It wouldn't code it for me.
Peace
Hi, can happen, watch video again, take your time, some second hand keys can fail no matter how many times you try! Footnote... get a scrappy key with tight buttons on fob, and it looks decent! regards.
How about taking the key side that contains the battery and infrared chip and couple it with the other side gotten from the junk yard that the buttons?
Does The 2007 Ford transit have The chip in The plastic?
Helped me find the transponder...... but I think they are RF not infra red
You are just awesome...
Thanx a lot my friend. You saved me a lot of money. Let´s have a bear if you ever come to Germany....
Nice fix thanks
I just bought a 54 plate fiesta. I think at one point in its life it had a replacement drivers door. There is s key with buttons on that only open the drivers door and another normal key without buttons that opens the boot door and starts the engine. The buttons on the button key do not work at all what should I do?? I have to lock the passenger door from the inside because of the central locking not working
Maybe I need to buy a remote key from amazon and then get it cut to the same size as my key that starts the engine and then program the new remote key?
try pressing the unlock button twice in a row fast, some locks are programmed to unlock only drivers side when the key is pressed only once
2.20 someone get him an ice cream!!!! good video though
I am in the US and my chip wont come out like yours, it has the rubber on it but the pin wont go in, its solid underneath the rubber, also the blade on my key looks different than yours, I have a 2012 Fiesta, on mine someone that had the car before me lost the positive metal piece that touches the battery, so thats why mine dont work, So im having to order a new key for $189 from a hardware store but i wished i could fix this one
Can I just swap the plastic button over without it stopping the key from working? Button wore and hard to press and have the bit to put on but don't want to mess the key up
Hi, Don't strip it down! Just change transponders over (glass tube ) to new key fob and follow what he does in video, and you won't go wrong!....put new battery in fob as well! regards.
@@stormytempest3907i dony have a glass thingy for some reason its like plastic
its me again, my mrs ford fiesta fob has packed up, can not remember how i did mine now, so its a case of getting a new key putting the new chip in my key and programing it with the 4 turns in the ignition
will it work on a MK 7 Transit key
do you have to take the glass sensor out ... can you not just programme the new fob🙏
Hi No, Just follow the Video slowly and you won't go far wrong! Programmed 2 keys this way for Mondao Zetec, both worked perfectly! regards.
You are a creazy man
just a thought, Could you not just replace the button side with the donor buttons?
Yes you can
Can you help me please,,??? I programmed a new remote key fob ( ford modeo MK3),, It worked ,,But only as it concerns the remote key,, What about the ignition.?? How can i program the immobilizer to the new key.,??Thanks...
Did you take the chip/transponder/IR/RF thing out of the old one and put it in the new one?
this task is only to make a spare key to command the doors' locks not to start the car?
Super cool
did you try reprogramming your own key after changing the battery in the beginning?
John Camplin hey there yeah I did... with no luck... :(
Do you think this would work for swapping out an ECU rather than changing barrels and all that as well. I need to swap my engine out but need the ecu swapping out.
