On the Ford forums, of course.And where did you hear that?
And where did you hear that?
The programmer is very expensive and not worth buying, unless you are a locksmith. The original keys should of had a sticker on them, with a code. The dealer sometimes, puts them in the owner manual. Sadly, having only one key, will cost you $50-75 dollars. If you have both, you can do it for free. Sometimes aftermarket remote starters installers, zip tie the spare chip key in the steering column. It is a hack way to override the anti theft.
$70 “labor” & $139.95 for a new key at my local dealer.
A month ago I bought a '16 Explorer Platinum. It came with only one Intelligent key. The dealer offered to program another for $450. I declined and in the same breath said "cuz I can do it myself for nearly nothing with FORSCAN"And where did you hear that?
So that's $209.95 plus tax. Here, that would be $227.27. For one key. No thanks.$70 “labor” & $139.95 for a new key at my local dealer.
