You need an unaltered "admin" key to make any MyKey changes. (It's all in the owner's manual.) I don't see a Forscan setting for it (but not all settings have been documented) so it's probably going to be a Ford dealer change.

Just curious: where's the other key? The original owner keeping it for some reason?

Do you really need to go above 80? I've had my first edition for 4 years, and I think i hit 80 once. 80 is pretty fast on these 6,000 pound tanks.

Bought it used and only comes with spare key. Dealer doesn’t know where the key is.

No sir I don’t. I just need my volume limit remove. I love to cruise to 70mph.

Head right on back to the dealer and don’t walk out till they hand you a brand new key programmed and ready to go free of charge. Plus there is somebody walking around with a Key that will unlock and start your car. They should reset the PATS system and program it fresh with both keys and leave them both as admin for now.

This is a no brainer. Dealer messed up and there job to fix it!

Chuck, went through same deal with Ford. I said to parts guy, if I've got 2 working keys, why would I need a third? Dumb! that's when I went to the Ace hardware. They had a sign out front, that said we make chip keys. $75.00 later, I had a working second key. Like I told Stamp, still works 2 years later. I still would like to know how Ace can pull off what the others can't!
