Can only Ford programme keyless fobs?

Hi guys,

I went to timpsons and asked if they could sort me a spare key. They said no.

I have a keyless fob but on eBay you can get the fob second night hand and a new blank blade. 

Surely after having the blade cut it only needs programming?

Any idea if this is Ford only or diy/auto locksmith territory?

Thanks!

There is a contact pad in the car where you need to position the key and then program it via IDS.

In my car (2015 Focus ST) the pad is denoted by a key fob shaped image in the bottom of the armrest storage bin.

Right ok thanks.

Is that just like VAG com but for Fords and is it something you can do yourself?

If you have access to an IDS module then doable yourself.

Can't see on tapatalk what year your car is but check out the Forscan forum, they have the Forscan software and it can do PATS II coding as long as you apply for an extended 2 month licence (all free).

All depends on whether your car is supported for PATS II yet or not.

Thanks for the info.

I've got a 2010 Zetec S with keyless.

Is that the mk2.5 design?

If so Forscan supports PATS in/out coding under the extended licence.

Ok that all looks complicated and says up to 2009 so guess I'm out of luck... I'll contact a locksmith.

Cheers!

Ah a fiesta, couldn't see that info on Tapatalk.

TBH it should still work on your car.

Thanks I'll have a look into it but eBay are doing good brand new coded and cut for £80 so might save the hassle.

Your article mentions deleting files which scares me 😂

As long as you save the original config file then you can always revert if something goes awry.
