Hello all,

My apologies if this is an old question but I can't seem to find any thread relating to my particular query....

i have a ford focus 08 mk2 it only came with the secondary key and no central locking fob so now i am trying to get a key that will remotely open the doors as well

i need to buy one but i don't know which is the correct one. i found this on amazon

https://smile.amazon.co.uk/433Mhz-Buttons-Keyless-Fushion-2004-2011/dp/B07YXJZRQX

I plan to take it to a key cutting shop, is this possible? 

Is it also possible to program this to open the doors and boot as well?

i refuse to pay ford £185 + vat for something that i have found for £11.99 for the key and remote.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Lots of the reviews say it doesn't come with the transponder chip. Most of the time a decent locksmith should be able to provide the key blade, transponder chip and remote.

    You need the chip in order to get it programmed to the car for the immobiliser.
