glad to see you were able to locate and purchase a Fob.....Here's my CarandTruckRemotes.com key fob. Now I just need a car to go with it.
I got mine delivered, tax included, from carandtruckremotes.com for $81.98 after a coupon that popped up from Honey or one of the other coupon extensions on my Chrome browser. There's a sticker attached to the invoice that says: "Must be programmed by a Car Locksmith or a Dealership". When you order there's a pop-up that shows you locksmiths in your area.
Your dealer or a locksmith are your only options, unfortunately.
$80-$100 is not too bad for the Fob, but I am hating my Dealership for not following thru on this, and I'd rather program it myself. I'm hoping that one of our Ford 'inside contacts' can locate and post the dealer instructions?!
I can't imagine why, since no physical key is being cut, and no external equipment is needed, right? Isn't this just a procedure documented somewhere in Ford Service manual for the MME?
Not going to happen as this is a security issue that is carefully controlled by Ford and other manufacturers. As I noted elsewhere, my local automotive locksmith did the programming for me (charged $100 to do two of them). He needed to use special OEM hardware and software that was only accessible to him because of his certification. Maybe, at some point in the future, lesser equipment and software will work but not now. As someone else suggested, find a nearby locksmith at the handy link provided by Car and Truck Remotes.
Yes, but the procedure requires 2 fobs. If you only have one, you need to hook up to the OBD2 port with special software or equipment.
huh... wild that you can program a 3rd fob yourself, but not a second?!
Yep
normally Ford includes two fobs, so adding a third isn't a big deal as long as you think to do it before you lose one. in this case though...
Bought a fob from CarandTruckRemote and am working with one of the locksmith's they recommend. Any chance you could provide me the name of the locksmith you used in your area, so my guy can contact him if he has any questions about the process?
