I need another ignition key for my 05, looks like i need a transponder key w/chip? Can i get this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...Q5fAccessories

Where would i go to get the key cut and programmed?

Thanks

 

cut at a locksmith programmed at the dealer

 

As long as the ebay seller has a good reputation and the description seem acurate you are fine. Any place who cuts keys can cut it, but you will need a ford tool to program the key ONLY if you have 1 now. If you have 2 programmed keys, follow the instructions in the manual. Pretty simple stuff.

 

Thanks for the replies, i bought the truck used and only recieved 1 key and fob.

Looks like i'll be going to the dealer for programming, any idea how much they charge?

oh btw, sampson01, where did you get your mirror covers?

 

PTMed them ..... remove mirror glass ... behind that remove the 4 torx screws then remove cap, tape off, sand, prime, and paint.... recommend using krylon fusion paint

 

Same situation here. I bought mine and had 1 key and 1 fob. I luckily knew someone who has a programmer at his work and he flashed it for me for free. From reading, expect to pay $30-$50 for the key to be programmed, but once you have 2 keys, you can program more yourself for free. I ordered 3 keys from my ebay seller just to have them. Do you know your keyless entry code for the door keypad? If not you will have to do a little work to get it too.

 

Yep, i need to figure out what the code is and how to reprogram it to what i want it to be.

 

I bought my '07 in August, dealer could only find one key and one remote, but said previous owner had promised to send another set. I ordered two key blanks and another remote on Ebay from mykeyless, about $40.70 total shipped. Remote was $13.95, key blanks with transponder were $8.95 each.

I've gotten them there before for other cars ('95 T-Bird, Forester, Mercury GM) . Buddy at hardware cut the keys. I got the extra key and remote from the dealer in mail one day and then I went and sat in truck, very simple .... truck's "PATS" will program'em both. I believe you have to do all keys at same time, same with remotes but seperate from keys.

Seems to me it takes two programmed keys to do a third or forth, takes only one remote to do remotes. That way a parking attendant can't do a key.

Instructions come with the key blanks and remotes from that vendor. Fast shipping too!

 

Silver, I had the same problem with my 04 xlt. I removed the rear seat upright to access the security module box (I think that is what it was)...There is a sticker on the outside that is the factory programmed keyless entry code. Use that and the owners manual to program a custom key code..Hope this works for you!

 

My dealer charged me $87 to program and cut a key that I had bought off ebay. I went ahead and bought another one just in case I lost it again, and they did it for free at the same time.

Shop around at dealers. Other dealers and locksmiths wanted $130 or more just to cut and program. One dealer was asking $250 for a replacement key and remote fob.

 

The dealer here charges about $90

But all locksmiths generally can program the keys...and I have found that the ones around here do it for about half the price or a little less. So I would buy the key off of ebay and then check with the locksmiths first.

 

Home Depot cut mine for free and got it programmed at Ford for $40.
Funny thing about Home Depot. The cutting is free with a key blank purchase, which are a couple of bucks. I offered to pay something for the cut but they just waved it off...

 

Now I understand why it works that way.

I guess today they're doing what ever it takes to bring in revenue so they can survive.

 

If you have 2 functional keys, my dealer charged me $32 per for a cut key. I still had to program it (using the instructions in the manual) but that was quick and easy. They told me it ran $75-$100 if they also had to enable the key if I only had one.
