THANKS DUDE!!!! For Ford Explorer 2014, put 2 programmed keyfobs near cupholder area. Close doors. Put 1 to program in the pocket inside center armrest console. Pointy side DOWN, buttons FACING FORWARD FRONT of vehicle. 3 unlocks 1 brake 3 locks 1 brake 1 START press Max is 4 keyfobs.
I have a 2018 Ford Taurus Sel, followed your instructions and worked as you mentioned. THANK YOU! Purchased two keys from ebay for about $30 dollars, it programed both keys, now have 4. Thanks Again
We ordered aftermarket key fobs and we were able to follow this process to program extra fobs for both our 2014 Explorers. Everything works - lock/unlock/remote start/hatch. Done in 15 minutes. TY!!!
Thank you so much! You saved us at least $100 and some time by not taking it to the dealer to reprogram. We were able to reprogram one additional key but then it said we reached the limit. Now we need to figure out how to remove the key that was on the fritz.
Wow....I am totally STOOPIFIED at how simply SIMPLE that was...I almost paid a silly amount of money to get it programed...crazy thanks man...crazy thanks.
I agree WOW! What a great video showing how to program the key. Once I found the slot to place the key and had in facing the correct way it worked perfectly and only took about 30 seconds to complete. In our 2016 Lincoln Navigator the slot was in the very back of the console and you need to place the new fob with the keys facing the back of the vehicle. Thank you VERY VERY much for making this video.
This worked on my 2017 Taurus on the first try. Very easy to do. On the 2017 Taurus the programming slot is in the left rear of the console and is vertical, just face the buttons toward the driver's side. Thank you.
Best instructions out there. The most important step. replace the battery. On my 2013 Explorer the only difference is they fob need to have the buttons towards the rear of the vehicle.
I had two remotes, one good....one inactive. I was at least able, with your instruction, to get the dead one to start the car independently but couldn't get the features to activated. No lock/unlock etc. I'm appreciative just the same and will keep playing around to see if I can figure anything out. Otherwise I suppose I'll have to learn how to use the number code on the door. Not as happy about that for safety/time reasons but at least I now have a backup to start it. Thankyou very much :-)
I have a 2013 explorer limited. It took me several attempts and finally worked. The two working keys location is important. I placed mine right at the edge of the center console and i did get a message of a 3rd key programmed.
I did this in my 2013 Ford Flex this works 👍🏾 . My tip put the two key fobs in the arm rest too so it can be near the new fob you’re trying to program.
Agreed. Placing the existing Key fobs inside the center console worked for me. I wasn’t having any luck with the existing key fobs placed in the cup holder.
Awesome...this procedure worked for my 2017 Expedition Limited...thanks so much for saving me the big $$$ the dealer charges for this so simple procedure of less than 5 minutes total to program two spare fobs.
Yup, works, but as others have said may need to put the old keys in the console tray close to the new one in the slot. Also, I'd make sure the when you hit the door unlock and lock that the first time of each sequence you hear that hard clank sound you hear when locking or unlocking the car. Hope that helps.
Great info I have 2 key fobs both with two new batteries, followed your directions as you said, fobs both work when I put both fobs in the charger both start 2013 explorer up. Just not communicating signals , if you have some advice as what I may not be doing , your input would greatly appreciated thanku.
This worked just as described (I did have two working remotes already). I have a 2017 Expedition Ltd. Backup slot for key fob is in the back of center console. Remote had to be placed in there with buttons facing against the back (not facing out). Engine start/stop button did not flash, nor any message on the console. But key fob was programmed. Very helpful video.
Do they have to be the same key? Because I have a focus and have 2 keys but my keys are key keys not remote keys, and I want to buy a remote key so I’m wondering if it’ll still work, and also my car is not push to start will it still work?
Does this work to reprogram the 2 key fobs you already have as well ? My issue is that my two key fobs periodically lose connection and I get the message that no key fob is detected but after couple times of pressing the unlock button it works
i tried it and it worked but in my case I had to put the other two key fobs inside the center console next to programming cradle. Thank your for shearing.
Hi I only have one key fob mostly everything work except the turning on the vehicle if I buy one from Amazon would I still be able to program it with only one key fob ?
Thank You!Your video was right on time.The rubber behind one key fob wore out and the lock and unlock wouldn’t work.I ordered the third keyfob from Amazon and just programmed it today.Thanks again!
So what do you do if only one fob works. I just ordered a new one from amazon. Now I’m worried . Can reprogram the original fob that works and the new one from Amazon?
So I need 2 working keys? As in both can unlock the car? I only have one working key and wanted to buy 2 duplicates off Amazon to program using this method.
Hello, OK I found your video both of my key fobs will not work if I order another one from Amazon what’s the chances of that working instead of paying $300 Or does the dealership have to program them if they’re not working at all I’m totally lost if you don’t mind answering my question thank you Michael
Thanks. I had one programmed key fob. I had to get one of the keys I bought programmed and then I programmed the other one via your video so thank you for saving me 35 bucks because they charged me 70 for the one key. It says on the display that there are 4 keys programmed I would like to delete the one that's missing if possible.
For the 2017 Ford Escape Titanium...the manual actually has the steps but the spot for the key is simply in the front console area where you plug your USB into under the AC controls -- just lay them down in there. You have to put both of your working keys in that spot one at a time and turn on and off using the start button and waiting 3 to 5 seconds each time (no unlock / lock like this video). The 3rd key you put in the tray will finally get programmed and work after a few tries but there didn't seem to be any message or indication -- mine just worked after a few attempts. There is another spot on the steering wheel that shows a key with radio signals but that's not where you program the key -- that is where you can start these cars if the battery on your key goes bad. Hope that helps others that are struggling with your 'unique' Ford that doesn't seem to match any of the videos or info out there. You do need both keys which is likely partly for security reasons but also another nice money making scheme in my opinion too. I love the other videos out there from locksmiths that show you need a special device to do this -- you don't. Its really a shame they try to make this so hard for the average person to do since to me a key shouldn't cost a fortune to replace.
I have the same key for my 2017 Ford Expedition Limited, two are from the factory, but I purchased the more square one, a bit more heavy duty, it has the same function as my factory one, however I’m trying to find out how to program it, it doesn’t fit in the slot in the console, Any ideas 💡????
Thanks for saying @:12 that it won't work if you only have one working fob. Saved me a lot of frustration. I have to bite the bullet and pay the dealer $160 to program a fob, plus the cost of the fob.
hello, my question is if you need the two original keys near the console to program a third one? I only have one original key that is giving me problems and the other one is missing. thank you very much.
We just purchased 2013 flex, do you remember which one you purchased? There is so many option online with mixed reviews it’s hard to tell which is legit. Thanks in advance
Can anyone confirm if this would work for a 2019 Flex? Dealer told me it won't and owner's manual just says to take it to the dealer. Like everyone else I dont want to spend $400. Thanks.
I have a question so I have this feature on my car turned on called mykey will the new key have the same feature on? Or will it be an admin key also can it start the car?
Thanks for this very well-done video. We bought our 2017 Expedition with only one proximity key, and it’s acting erratically (will lock doors, but won’t unlock them). Just to be 100% clear, are you saying I can buy another one and I will be able to use this method to program it, or I will need two WORKING proximity keys in order to program the new one? Thanks again!
Hello Joe, i was in your boat. i bought a second refurbished key and an obdlink ex cable and used a free software called for scan and programmed it myself. You can’t follow the instructions in the video
Thanks I’m going to order one! eBay sellers are saying take to dealer/locksmith(?) Also nothing about Programming in my Ford manual.. why is it a secret?
Great Video! 2017 Escape key goes in front tray under climate controls. But one issue I not found anywhere else--maybe someone here encountered? I made a third extra key for a 2017 Ford Escape. This procedure worked great. But now when the extra key is used (not a problem with the original keys), on my Ford App I get an Anti-Theft System Fault notification, and the message is for a "Passive Entry Passive Start" notification saying the vehicle will not start. The car does start though. Key works great. But that key always throws that message. Just an annoyance. Anyone else encounter? Find a fix?
Only have One key fob, lock button does not lock doors only if u press lock on door manually. Bought a new key fob from amazon, how to i program that ?
THANKS DUDE!!!!
For Ford Explorer 2014, put 2 programmed keyfobs near cupholder area.

Worked great for our 2015 Expedition on the 2nd try. I ended up putting all the keys in the storage compartment. Thx

OMG thank you 😊. This worked for me to reprogram after a battery replacement with only one key. You saved me !
You're welcome!
You only had one original key ?
1 key fob works instead of 2? I only have 1 and need to program another will it work for me
I am ordering one right now, thank you 🙏🏾
I had two remotes, one good....one inactive. I was at least able, with your instruction, to get the dead one to start the car independently but couldn't get the features to activated.

You may try undoing the car's battery waiting 3 minutes hook it back up and then try reprogramming the remote
It worked on my 2015 Ford Expedition EL Limited! Thank you so much!
That's good to hear have a good rest of the day
There is no pocket under my lighter in the center console?

Does this work for 2014 Taurus? I've tried it multiple times but it's not working, if not, is it even possible without the dealership?
Awesome video thank you
Thanks for watching
Is there a way I can program the second one if I only received one when I bought it?
Thank you very much 😊
does this work for all ford cars as well? I have a 2016 c-max hybrid and what should the key be, 434 MHz or 315 MHz?
This worked on my 2016 Ford Flex... thanks much
your welcome
Hi! I have one key with a 13 escape push button start. This wouldn’t work correct? If not what do you recommend? Thank you!!
Would this work for my 2016 Ford Taurus? It has the same key you have.
Excellent, thank you. Had one FOB go through the washer and still works for starting, doors, but not hatchback or remote start...buy another I guess
So did it work when you bought a spare
Worked!! You save me $100's

Do they have to be the same key? Because I have a focus and have 2 keys but my keys are key keys not remote keys, and I want to buy a remote key so I’m wondering if it’ll still work, and also my car is not push to start will it still work?

Does this work to reprogram the 2 key fobs you already have as well ? My issue is that my two key fobs periodically lose connection and I get the message that no key fob is detected but after couple times of pressing the unlock button it works
I bought a 2015 navigator, it came with one fob is there a work around

Here's my question. I bought a used 2019 Ford Explorer XLT. It only came with one key. Will this method work if there is only one key present?
Does this work on the 2022 focus models
The secret handshake with the car made me laugh-but very glad this info is out there! No one should pay 300 dollars for that!
Thanks for watching, have a good week
So I need 2 working keys? As in both can unlock the car? I only have one working key and wanted to buy 2 duplicates off Amazon to program using this method.

just out of curiosity why do you have to have two working keys it didn't seem like you did anything with them?
thank you my friend
glad I could help, have a good rest of the day
hello, my question is if you need the two original keys near the console to program a third one? I only have one original key that is giving me problems and the other one is missing. thank you very much.
Did you solve your problem with only one?
Worked for me on a 2013 for flex
also
Cool
We just purchased 2013 flex, do you remember which one you purchased? There is so many option online with mixed reviews it’s hard to tell which is legit. Thanks in advance
Can anyone confirm if this would work for a 2019 Flex? Dealer told me it won't and owner's manual just says to take it to the dealer. Like everyone else I dont want to spend $400. Thanks.
Can this be done via IM508
I have a question so I have this feature on my car turned on called mykey will the new key have the same feature on? Or will it be an admin key also can it start the car?
I'm not 100% sure but I think the new key should have the same features
Thanks for this very well-done video. We bought our 2017 Expedition with only one proximity key, and it’s acting erratically (will lock doors, but won’t unlock them). Just to be 100% clear, are you saying I can buy another one and I will be able to use this method to program it, or I will need two WORKING proximity keys in order to program the new one? Thanks again!
Hello Joe, i was in your boat. i bought a second refurbished key and an obdlink ex cable and used a free software called for scan and programmed it myself. You can’t follow the instructions in the video
Thanks I’m going to order one! eBay sellers are saying take to dealer/locksmith(?)
Also nothing about Programming in my Ford manual.. why is it a secret?
Because they want your $$$.
Great Video! 2017 Escape key goes in front tray under climate controls. But one issue I not found anywhere else--maybe someone here encountered? I made a third extra key for a 2017 Ford Escape. This procedure worked great. But now when the extra key is used (not a problem with the original keys), on my Ford App I get an Anti-Theft System Fault notification, and the message is for a "Passive Entry Passive Start" notification saying the vehicle will not start. The car does start though. Key works great. But that key always throws that message. Just an annoyance. Anyone else encounter? Find a fix?
For Ford Explorer limited 2013 and have one key remote, will it work sir?
Do you need to have 2 working keys? 1 won't work?
I ordered a 2016 escape from carvana and it's only coming with one fob. Why do you need to have the two original fobs to get a third to work?
Give it a try, but thats the way it works in an edge
I bought the car and got only one key! What supposed i to do in this case? Should I buy 3 keys and do a reprogram?
Pls assist.
Does this reset my key?
Just had a second fob programmed and key cut for $75…..so I’ll program the third myself
Only have One key fob, lock button does not lock doors only if u press lock on door manually.
Bought a new key fob from amazon, how to i program that ?
I have a 2018 F150 lariat, do I need to program key fobs to do this or can I reprogram with one?
You must have 2 working and programmed fob's to program a new one
