MrrNoName Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hey all, basically, I only have one key for my mk2 1.8tdci focus. the type of key is the remote flip one where the metal key part springs out when you press a button. through general use its getting pretty worn out Ive heard that you need two working keys to program another? If i took the car to ford could they program me a new key with only a single existing working one? Cheers for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressws1 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Yes Ford can program a new key using just one working key, However you'll be looking upwards of £100 for the pleasure! Not sure if any auto electrician can do it, Might be worth a scout around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrrNoName Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 thats good news, i better get it done before this one breaks lol. i know its expensive :( but i live really close to a ford dealership so its an easy option, thanks for your reply :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzer321 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 i paid £150 to get a new key for mine just thought i would let you know so you know roughly what they charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillmangimp Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I had a key made up for my focus last year, it was the flip key as you describe. I used an auto locksmith who charged me £75 for buying the key, cutting and programming it-the key itself was also a genuine ford key. The local fraud dealer quoted me approx £185!

paramaniac Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I've recently been quoted £40 for a "standard" key and £100 for a remote locking/programmed key by my local Ford dealer. Oh and then they add an £80 coding charge for the £100 key! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
