Hi guys

Any recommendations of how and where to get another remote fob for keyless?

I only got one with this car:-(

Cant find anything local on the internet. Do I need to go to Fords?

The original keycode card was not with the car.

    In a word yes.

    The car needs to be programmed to the new keyfob (not as almost everyone says the other way around).

    The process involves deleting all keys from the vehicles memory including the one you have now, and then the new keyfob and your existing keyfob are added to the cars memory.

    For cars built before 2013 FORScan can do this, but for newer vehicles it can only do a few models.

    Hi. Just thought I'd give an update on this for information...
    I contacted my local Ford dealership and they just refered me to a mobile auto locksmith they use nearby. He is coming out to the car, will supply either genuine Ford or aftermarket fob and do the necassary programing.
