Spare Key Fob Information

[Xidor67]

I have looked up all the information I can find on replacement key fobs for my '23 GT.

I bought the car used from a non-Ford dealership who only had 1 key fob.

I don't know if it was new with 1 or 2 fobs.

I have read the posts that say you must have 2 factory keys in order to program a 3rd without involving the dealership and lots of cost.

What are my options to get the F-150 fob with the frunk button and program it by myself. Is it even possible?

You can get the fob.

You cannot program it yourself.

You only have two options. The dealer or a locksmith.

When/if you get that fob and want to have a dealer program it - make sure you call around to different dealers near you. Prices vary wildly for that programming. Some people have paid $150-$200 just to program 1 key (which is outrageous).

Is it official that you can't program Mach-E fobs with Forscan?

I would think the non ford dealer kept the key fob to have access to your car just in case they wanted it back. Go to a Ford dealer with the best price for a new key fob and programming, but also have any key fob that’s not yours erased !

When talking about the price with the dealer or locksmith, remind them that software programming only and they don't have to create a physical key.

From what I've read, yes. Even if you use the official FDRS app, you can't use any old account. It has to be a verified dealer service dept or a locksmith to program a fob. This is for security purposes so a thief can't just wipe the paired fobs and pair their own.

Only 2021 Job1 cars came with just 1 key. 2021 Job2 and later cars shipped from the factory with 2 keys. As others have said, you must have 2 keys in order to program a new key into the car yourself. You will definitely need a locksmith or a dealer to prog a new key to your car and to remove an old key from your car. ??

FORScan can program keys on older vehicles, but not the last few model years.
