Help with key programming

Hi guys.
This is my first post here. I own a 2004 F-150 lariat in spain and after I lost one key I decided to buy a new key with electrical device in USA to make the copy again.
Well, the key arrived and I read the only way to program this new key is having 2 programmed keys before.
What can I do if I only have one programmed key?
Do you know any other way to do it?
Thanks and sorry for my english.

Sorry, but you will need to go to a Ford dealer to have it programmed. They're the only ones who will have the necessary computer and software to do the job.

Once you have the dealer's key done, you can program your 3rd key yourself.

PS Your written Enlish is quite good. Probably better than some of the Americans who grew up here.

Welcome aboard!

Some locksmiths in the USA can program the keys if you have one. If it becomes a problem for you, my local locksmith can do it. You'll be out of a key for a few days as we FedEx them back and forth, but I'll help you out as long as you pay the bills...

I got suckered by the dealer for like $125...the locksmith here charges around $75 if I remember right.
