Stoney871 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Auto locksmiths will do it for him via the data port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

137699 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 You can do it yourself - there is a "how-to" guide here, but you may have to be a member of the smax owners club to see it (£10 but cheaper than getting a dealer/locksmith to do it!): http://www.smaxowner...key+fob+program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregers Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 with the link above, does this program the pats? system or just the central locking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 You can programme the central locking yourself but on a Mk2 Focus and above (which a Smax is basically under the skin) the ability to programme PATS2 immobilisers was removed from the system (it used to be that you only needed the 2 original keys to add more). I can categorically state that to programme keys to your car, you will have to get them added via the OBD port using a programming terminal. Auto Locksmiths and Ford have these and also some Garages may have them too but Ford will charge you about 2 hours labour for the job although it takes about 30 seconds to do. You are best off ringing around to find the best deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
