Hi everyone,
Want to get some advices for programming the 3rd Mach E Keyfod to get frunk remote control. I believe i have the BCM update as I can open the frunk as hold 7-8 pin for a few seconds, and when i press the button inside the frunk, the frunk has an open reaction. I followed the steps exactly. Everytime when I placed the 2nd keyfob, I can see a code, which I believe it is the accurate process. However, I have tried more than 10 times, and once I placed the 3rd keyfob and press the start button, it shows Key Program Failure. I tried to reboot the sync screen, but still get the same failre message. The battery in the new keyfob is good.
The Keyfob number is NL3T-15K601-EB.

Any suggestions will be appreaciated.

Thanks a lot!

These tips from the seller worked for me. Make sure your foot is not on the brake and remove the dummy emergency keys from the fob. After doing these steps, it worked the first time.

“Thank you for reaching out and for your purchase. We are sorry to read that there is this trouble programming. Just a few questions: Do you have a 2021? If so do you have BCM and GFM updated? Was your foot accidentally on the brake? Do you have two programmed fobs? Have you tried removing the emergency keys from all fobs for the programming process. “

And by a bit faster, it's even faster than whatever you're thinking, have the extra keys in hand and hustle. Still took me like 5 tries
Tried as fast as I can, still same failure error.

Thank you all! Finally figured it out!!!
The 3rd time when I press the ignition button, no reaction at the first 2 seconds, so I always press the ignition button second time, which casued the programming failed.
I realized that on the 3rd time ignition(when the new fob in the slot), I need to press only one time, and wait for 2-3 seconds. Then the car starts and show programming successfully.

So haapy it is working now!

So just earlier tonite I did this procedure for adding a 3rd key - a Lightning key for the frunk button. Took me about 5 tries and succeeded only when I went much faster than what I read in the instructions - could be my sense of time is off too. Thanks to all on this forum!

Over a year later and this very tip helped me out. Thanks, I was too impatient.

Yes. Thank you for the tip too. I was being impatient and was pushing the on button a second time. Once I found this it worked the first time. Thanks again for your help.

I don’t know whether the CSP for the second key for 2021 Job1 cas is still valid. If it is, you should take advantage of it. ??

It isn't as far as I know. My service department said it was backordered. Then they said they ordered it. Then they said it was backordered. Then they stopped responding. Then they said it was backordered. Then they said the program is over and there was nothing they could do. I called Ford and they said to talk to the service department. Service department said to talk to Ford. I gave up.
