Ford Transponder Keys

[Jeff Cooper]

We've just bought an 04 StreetKa, with only one immobiliser key - I'm trying to get my head around getting a second key second hand, and although I know that a new horshoe blank key can be cut and fitted, and the remote fob can be reprogrammed to our car from the other car using the on/off ignition method, I'm confused about the transponder bit - if I buy a second hand transponder key (with the original transponder chip from someone elses car), can that used transponder chip also be reprogrammed to our car, even if it means a trip to IDS ?

Needs to be programmed by ids by ford dealer. Second hand will work fine providing u get correct remote fob.

if its a glas key which I think it is, you can get these programmed at most local auto locksmiths!
