I have a Ford F-150, two working keys, where do I get this one cut? Will it cost $5 or so? Was $90 at the dealer...

Any locksmith can cut this key for amtter of few dollars, if you have 2 working keys then you can program this yourself. if you only have 1 working key then you must visit dealer for programming thanks MR Remotes

I don't know how the key is cut to work - but I do know that the key works - we've had to use it. I assume that at least with the original key fob for the vehicle that the key is cut for the vehicle at the factory.

There is a chip inside the key... the chip needs to be programmed either by the dealer or a locksmith that has the tool.. I used a locksmith it was cheaper then the dealer! The buttons to lock and unlock can be programmed at home with the given directions.. You tube has a video.. Even after the key is cut the car won't start unless the chip is programmed!

http://www.gorilla-auto.com/replacement-keys-all was a simple "Google" search, which I've had to use before myself. If you don't have the key number and/or the original registration sticker, you're screwed and must get new locks AFTER you get the old ones off which is hard but not impossible to do your self as long as the lug nut well is not too restrictive. Most car dealers, especially Ford since this the brand they stock/sell should know how to get them off but I have no idea what the cost would be. Good luck!

That is going to depend on whether it is the same FCC/part number and whether there are any other issues with your old fob. Your best bet- if you are certain of the FCC/Part number- is to have the new key cut and programmed since you will need to purchase the key in its entirety anyhow. -Keyless4u

kinda long shot here cuz im not really sure, but check with a locksmith cuz they are atleast able to program keys and thus possibly the radio system too. they generally will be about 1/2 to 1/3 the price of going to a ford dealer. good luck!

You can do it yourself. It's very easy, google search "how to program a key fob on (year) Ford F-150" or whatever vehicle you have.

Yes. I have done this. There is a charge from the dealer and it will cost between $40 and $80. On line you can read how to do it but you need two keys to do it.

No! I took it a lock to a lock smith and he try to program the keys but they were not programmable. Also I took the keys to the Ford dealer wanted $300 but I think he just wanted to put in a new switch.

I didn't have the key cut. They sent programming Instrucrions but I couldn't get them to work so I had to go to the dealership and they hooked it up to the computer for programming. They charged me 40.00

Previous 2 responses are correct....on some vehicles, the key is attached to the lug wrench or the spare tire jack....if not on yours, you will have to contact the previous owner / dealer....also, most often these come in sets of 5, so you might ask them where are the other 4.....with the key on another vehicle , perhaps.....Good Luck !

Call Discount Keyless at 1-800-308-3775. They should be able to tell you whether it is compatible or not. It has the "+" symbol indicating a transponder key. Each car has different computers, different security codes, etc. I bought a transponder key, then had it cut by a locksmith for $2 and I programmed it myself with their directions (you need to have a functioning key to program the new key). It worked fine. It frustrated the locksmith because he wanted to charge $55 for a replacement key. I purchased key fobs as well. They work extremely well. The only downside is the printing on the keys fades quicker than I would anticipate. Call Discount Keyless at 1-800-308-3775. They should be able to tell you whether it is compatible or not.

I had one key and bought this. If you have two programmed keys, then you can do it yourself (youtube) If you only have one good key, then you will need to go to the dealer.

un-sure weather my answer will help.but I purchased a key that supposed to fit my F250,i,v taken it to 2 key programers and neither can make it work..Not sure if I will take the gamble with trying another other from a Ford place...

Just switch it from your old key if you have it. I did and it worked perfect. Take the buttons as well. If not you would probably have to get a new one through the dealer if its lost.

I would call a ford dealership to be sure. I own a 2011 f150 and they were able to program this key easy as pie!

I can tell you unequivocally it is not an OEM key but is an after market key made to Ford specs. The "Ford" logo is licensed. I purchased also and had them cut and programmed at our Ford dealer. It costed me $15 to have both done. They work perfect.
