Why do you need 2 working keys ? most of us people only have 1 working key. I think if most of us had 2 working keys, we wouldn't need a 3rd key.
you're right only I need 2 key
The reason why you need two keys to reprogram yourself is to prevent a valet from coding more keys. I don't need 3 keys either but I keep a third because I don't want to pay $50 for a rekey service at a dealership
Smart people always have 3 or 4 keys. Simply because if one is lost you can always reprogram more yourself with a minimum of two keys and avoid over priced dealers. If you have only one key, then get smart and get another through the dealer. And then buy one or two more as back ups on ebay for those, just in case, moments.
because if you only needed one key to program, the stealership couldnt charge you. apparently forscan will let you program them on your own though
Forscan will let you program a new key when you only have 1 key. I've done it recently. But anyone doing it will want to read up on it 1st to know what you're doing, I was able to program my new key without deleting any keys from the trucks memory which was very important to me.
If you have to delete all keys from memory then you run the risk of having no working key so do some homework 1st. Great program and to me it was well worth the $10 to buy the 1 year extended license needed to access the PATS programming module. I was so happy to save the $120 per key and $60 for programming the dealership was going to charge me I gladly paid it. Sure you can get a free 2 month extended license but they more than earned my $10!
You will also need an ELM 327 cable/device that connects the OBDII Port in vehicle to a usb port on your laptop or tablet.
I got the one forscan recommends and while a little more spendy at $39, I was very happy as it requires NO flipping of switch to go between the different modes. Before doing anything make sure you read to learn how to make a backup of your vehicles system in case you mess something up you can recover it.
Besides programming keys you can do much more including read and clear DTC codes, like my simple scanner would do but those scanners arent cheap and this will do all it will and more.
Damm..I only have one. When I bought the car.
I have tried this but when I put the spare key in the security light keeps blinking and does not start the car. I have a 2011 Ford Taurus
2 keys??? What the hell man. I need a spare key programmed because I don’t have 2?????? lol
No... You need 3 keys minimum. Period.
Take the key to a locksmith and pay for it!! Then make extras!!! He didn't make the steps he is just showing how to do it. Ingrate..
@@El_Guapos_World what if u have no key?
Thanks for showing us how to do this and also listing the vehicles this works for
What if you only have one programmed key?
You have to pay a locksmith to program it. Then you can make spares once you have two. If you only have one key, best do this before you have NO keys, because then it is a REAL pain. The programming costs the locksmith $40 and they usually charge about $100.
Hello
Mine is Ford Fusion 2012 se
While programming two new key fobs, something went wrong probably I pressed other keys than the lock key.
Anyway, now the original key works fine. but the problem is :
the
the light that indicates pairing mode is flashing every 2.5 seconds, if the original key is entered it stops flashing and can be turned on. BUT if
the misprogrammed key is entered its flashing pace increases to ~ 3
times every second. The newly misprogrammed keys can lock/unlock doors but they will not open the trunk or turn the car on.
I tried the following but neither worked
1- Discount the battery overnight
2- switching the original key on/off and Entering programming mode and let the car exit pairing mode by itself.
Please help, is there a way that let me exit the pairing mode and/or reprogram the new misprogrammed keys?
Thanks so much. Worked great for my 2003 Lincoln Navigator. I have two original keys. First new key programmed easy. 2nd new key took a couple of tries but finally worked.
Great helpful video - this technique worked perfect on my 2006 Ford F-150 Lariat Thank you,

The best explanation on the web👍🛠️🛠️🛠️🛠️🛠️
Doesn't work for 2003 Ford Focus. I followed the instructions but the key doesn't turn the vehicle over just cranks. Any ideas? 4D+
Anybody want to tell me how I'm supposed to do this without the original set I lost the original and the spare I don't have any keys for my truck how the f*** am I supposed to reprogram the new ones now
It seems like this process is not working for my 2008 Ford edge
2006 Explorer, Wife lost her key and my spare, Bought 2 OEM key blanks off eBay $25, Only had one working key, so off to stealership, $50 to program one, wanted $50 more to do second... pass. Followed your video had to wait till Air bag light to go out before switching keys and worked great. Three keys again! Thank you!
Good news!
so this worked with you only having 1 working key? the video said have 2 keys but I only have 1 working ....just got a 2008 explorer sport trac
We did the programming but car still won't start with the reprogrammed key. What do you think night be the problem?
Extra info: I changed the instrumentcluster because the other one had some issues and that's why we needed to reprogrammed they keys for the new cluster but car still didn't start after reprogramming it.
Am I missing something??
It only works once for me then won't start it again, the security light flashes all the time.
Does anyone know if this will work on a 2003 Ford Focus?
I have one regular key and one non working key with fob it’s not working yet
Thank you! Programmed 2 additional keys today, couldnt figure out the instructions (I'm a visual learner). Much appreciated!
It worked awesome THANKS 👌👍
Many thanks germanpickle! Going outside now to program two new cut keys from Amazon, inexpensive. If procedure does not work I will update this posting. So, assume it works if you see no further comment from me. 2010 Explorer.
Second time you start with a programed key. So this is BS
How can I program a new set of keys when the ignition cylinder was replaced due to attempted theft, I have replaced the batteries too on 2000 Ford Excursion Disel, thank you!!
Wow! I have 2 original keys for my 07 Freestyle that the bakelite key ring section has broken off… thanks so much for saving me $$ and a 2 hour wait for a Dealer to provide me with one extra key., Plus, for those raising a teen driver, the more spare keys you have the merrier 😂
Use SIMPLE KEY if you only have 1 key. It’ll let you program up to 4 keys with only having one master
I may have to replace my ignition switch. I'm going to have to go to the dealer to get them to reprogram the new keys? Thanks
I'm not sure but I think the ignition switch is separate from the immobilizer circuit. You should be able to do it yourself.
Thanks
I have a issue maybe y'all can help.i lost my whole key and key fob sadly and only have one key left n fob.i have to go buy a new one but when I do how do I program it?I only have one of two o.g. keys as I stated so with only one o.g. key.so after I buy this new key how do I program it with only one o.g. key
I have a ford KA car I lost my original keys with transponder is it possible to bypass transponder
If it didn't work the first time how did you get the programed key to do the single key at the end. We saw it didn't work, then back and it's working.
does not work for the 2008 ford taurus sel
Helpful video but does it have to be two keys i only have one key for my 2007 ford expedition
What do I do if I have no key?
YOu need to go to the dealership. they can provide new keys based on serial number of the vehicle along with your ID and vehicle title to prove ownership.
How about do one programmed twice and then the one it needs to be programmed 🤔🤔
Interesting, did it work 🤔
If I had 2 working keys, I wouldn't need 2 working keys. I only have one ugly old key with a broken lanyard.
Off to the dealer you go then. Theres a reason why you need two keys... To prevent theft. Imagine if you dropped your vehicle off for service and they could copy keys with just one. The vehicle would be at risk. Make a third copy now incase you lose a key.
@@germanpickle How were you able to cope before 2005? Some of us work on our own cars. Some of us are still men. Rare I understand. Haven't rebuilt or pulled a motor in ages. Because I'm pretty decent at maintenance. And don't whiz the wealth on new cars with hackable wifi. But I do understand the value of the chip security. I was just curious if you knew the 'workaround'. This is a car with 200k on the odometer that is all original doesn't burn any oil that I can tell. Smattered with shopping cart dings, scuffs, chips, paint peeling and on a damp day the years of farts are evident. But it just keeps going. The security deterrence is built-in. Even the thieves today are full of prissy vanity!!
Thanks for sharing this info. Sucks that my Explorer only came with one key. 😢
What if you only have 1 programmed key? Is there a way to program just 1 if that's all you want?
No. With one key you need to go to a dealership. If it was possible with only one key then a valet could easily copy your key.
@@germanpickle What is a valet ?
@@jamayer32 A valet is a person that parks your car for you. Like at a hotel. So if you only needed one key to re-program the chip key, it would make it easier for a person with only one key to steal your car. (Mechanic for example as well) If they can copy your key and have future access to your car, then they could steal it from you, especially if they know where you work or live. Needing two keys is a way of ensuring that the programming is done by the owner. This is why it's smart to program a 3rd key. If you lose a spare you can program a new one if you started with 3 keys.
Worked perfectly on my 07 sport trac. I bought a key/fob combo and it worked.
I went and had the key cut, but was nervous after it wouldn't start the truck...but the then I found this.
I have an 08 Sport Trac, I am about to do the same thing.
@@billyaustin3877 did this work for you? I only have 1 programmed key and was wondering could I do it without having a 2nd key
@@dreascornelias7021 interesting, did you have any success?
@@sandycastles7105 it did not I was able to program a fob but the key didn't work ...I ended up having to go to a ford dealer who wiped the computer and that's how I got it
I bought a replacement ECU with two blank keys and was supposed to follow this procedure, but it didn't work for me. How does the ECU know that it should accept two new keys?
i would suggest contacting your dealer or a trustworthy repair facility for advice after replacing an ecu
Q; what if you have 2 OEM keys and 1 is working, 1 is not. I am trying to program 2 new keys (cut) --will it work w only 1 OEM working ? please email--Eddie
Great Video!!! I have to replace my cylinder lock on my 03' Ford Expedition. O'REILLYs has one with a transponder. Dealership is saying it's going to cost around $250 that's parts & labor. How can I go about this? Thanks!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Mike
Thank You! I just saved a $hit ton of money.
Just took care of my Mercury Marquis, works great. Thank you for the information,
Nice information but I have only one original key not two. How can I program new replacements ???
take it to the dealer. its a security feature. you only give one key to the shop, or a valet, etc. it would be horrible if one key allowed somebody to duplicate a key
Why do u need 2 keys?
why don't you try working the buttons on the new key to see if it REALLY WORKS? lock & unlock doors.
The ford key doesn't have buttons. The buttons are on the Key fob. this video doesn't discuss the process of programming the keyfob. this video discusses programming the chip key itself.
Just like the man said. Zip Zop. Done!
Do you know if this works on ford ranger 2018 px2
That's Badass and All... but let's see you figure out how to do it with Just one Original Key.
This is a genuine request.
And the smart-ass sentence in the Beginning was in hopes that I would make you laugh. Not trying to be mean.
It won't work with one key.. It's made that way on purpose so that, for example, a valet driver can't just copy your key and steal your ride later on.
Depends on the year model
Well i’ll be damned
Hello I am letting you know how much is the 5 car keys for 2015 Honda Civic black car
do you have to have two keys to begin.Can you have one key and get one on line and go thru this sequence for one key and have it work ?
No. You need to start with two keys. This is why it's good to do as soon as you buy the car. If you could do this with only one key, then any mechanic or valet could easily steal a car by copying the key and then driving it away from a residence after they had control of the car.
Can you use the same programed key twice if you don’t have two programmed keys ?????
I have the same question.
Question, how much the locksmith or the shop charge you for cut the key? I know it's a little investment but sometimes those locksmith they want to rip your arm off
I have a local shop here that will charge the same fee to cut a key I bring instead of a key they sell... so for the chip key I was charged the same as a non chip double sided car key.. I think it was $4. Walmart also did it for me for about the same
I tried it on 2004 Mercury Mountianeer? And it wasn't programmed.
Ok
I bought a new ignition tumbler and it came with 2 new keys , I heard that some mechanic shops can reprogram em , but i wanted to know if this would work on my vehicle it's a 2009 Ford focus ,
Oscar Cancino i have the same problem, I have tried and it doesn’t work for me
You can buy a reprogramming tool, ignition, and 3 keys for like 60 bucks on amazon.
Thank you for the instructions, it worked great.
Only got 1 key with vehicle. Suggestions?
Visit your dealer. Pay for one key and then use this process to make yourself a 3rd and forth. now if you lose a key in the future you have enough to repeat.
Awesome how easy it can be..fingers crossed the key/fob combo I'm getting for my Explorer programs flawlessly..
Fantastic! Thanks very much for sharing.
do you know need 2 working keys for a 2007 mustang in order to do this?
always
What if I only have 1 remaining key..how to program a second key
Visit the dealership.
Don’t listen to them. Figure out what year and security type. Many early 98’s and earlier fords don’t even need a single key to program a new master key.
What if you lost the only key you had and that's why you need a new one?
Dealer visit unfortunately. This video is there to help you make that spare incase you lose one of your primary keys
Good job thanks
Thank you so much! Worked like a charm on my '09 Taurus.
You cant use 1 key twice?
Nope sorry doesn't work that way unfortunately
do i need to reprogram all the keys? or only the new one?
you need 2 functional keys to program more.
Worked like a charm, thanks. Saved me some $$ from having the dealership do it.
This is awesome thanks !!
I keep trying. I have one original K, one aftermarket program key. That works. And then I just got a key cut, and I can't get it program. Problem with having a aftermarket program key? I'll keep trying and
Dose this work for 2000 expedition
I don't know. You could try the sequence to put your vehicle into programming mode
Does it work for all Ford
I've been told yes for those using the same key, but I don't know for certain.
Try it on your vehicle and comment back with your year and model.
@@germanpickle it’s a Ford Escape 2005
Wait, so you have 4 keys programmed that can start the car? I thought the limit was 3...? Also, is this a 4th generation ford explorer?
I do have 4 keys confirmed as working. I have a 4th generation Explorer
Oh, nice nice. Well that's handy to know. So as long as you have the two original keys (the original main and the original spare) you can program more? Is there a limit to how many you can copy? or is 4 the limit?
Why do you need two programmed keys? Instead of using the same one twice?
If you take your car to a valet or service appointment they have your key. 2 keys are required to prevent people in these scenarios from duplicating keys
hello and thank you for this video it helped me a lot and saved me a lot of money. can this work on a 2003 ford focus ??
I don't know but it's worth a try ....
No
Tried it on a 2010 mustang. Didn’t work. Turning the key off and on 8 times and programming the fob worked. But the chip still not programmed to start the vehicle.
