Mustang (GT500)switchblade key fob upgrade! | How to program a Ford key and fob

[@automotiveantics]

Make sure you leave your key in the ignition when you press the lock buttons on your fob while in program mode! Once you remove it, you are no longer in program mode How many plan on upgrading their keys now?

[@edgarbarajas5020]

Nice! Just bought mine yesterday. I too only received one key when I bought the Shelby so I had been wanting to get a spare. Thanks for the pro tip!

[@automotiveantics]

@@edgarbarajas5020 glad I could help👍

[@InfernalSpelll]

But wait. You didn’t mention why we needed two master keys. :(

[@automotiveantics]

@@InfernalSpelll because Fords computer system is weird and it won't let you otherwise lol. Other than that I don't know haha

[@InfernalSpelll]

@@automotiveantics yeah I’m just like. “ What do I do with the second key 😣 “ Lol I read on more forums that it’s not required so I’m torn! I’ll let you know how it goes!

[@loudmouth_racing1991]

Right on, just ordered one. I have both keys for the 12 GT500🤙 Do you know if any key covers fit? Something a bit cooler looking maybe a snake lol.

[@automotiveantics]

I haven't tried a key cover, but if you do let me know!

[@westonbutts7091]

Nice video man I’ll have to get one of these for my terminator. Oem keys are even worse than the s197 lol

[@automotiveantics]

The plastic piece on the ignition won't get in the way will it?

[@BoostaholicRacing]

Brooo I need this!! So cool! Thanks for the info 😎🤘🏼😎🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@automotiveantics]

😎👍

[@carloscali2090]

Great video man nest one I seen for the key fob

[@automotiveantics]

Thanks bro I appreciate it 🙏 Hope it helped

[@jeremysmith6400]

Can you share the link for the keyfob used? Wonder if this will work on 99-04 mustangs and 99-01 Lightnings. I would love to get rid of the older keys.

[@automotiveantics]

I dont have a link but you can find them on Amazon

[@swerveofficial]

@@automotiveantics There are many. Can you please post the exact link.

[@Petros4.6]

what if you dont have a working key fob and just a key can i still program it on my own?

[@moha2142]

Thanks for the video the key is working very well I just have a question please how to change the battery on this key remote can you give me some instruction when I needed to change the battery or do you have a video link can you just send it to me thank you

[@automotiveantics]

I dont have a link to that but the key fob separates down the middle and you will find the battery inside. I normally take the key out of the bottom and use it to pry the bottom of the fob apart

what head unit is that it looks oem '

[@automotiveantics]

It is OEM

Great video!

[@trumpetjosh5377]

Where did you get your decal for the back? Do they have just a ford one? I ordered some for my 07 Focus so the mustang logo wouldn’t quite go with the car 😂

[@automotiveantics]

I got it from Ebay

[@sebastianarteaga4786]

Did your ignition switch have a little cover on it for the OEM key? My ranger has one and not sure how to get rid of it.

[@automotiveantics]

No it doesn't

[@adolfoosuna1835]

So if I don’t have a 2nd master key i must get a new one from ford ?

[@automotiveantics]

Only if you want to do the programming yourself. Or you can go to a locksmith and have them cut and program a second key (switchblade style). It costs almost the same. If you already have 2 master keys then you can buy the $20 key from Amazon and have it cut, then program it yourself

[@1000BadThings]

Did you purchase your key from the locksmith? I'm in the same boat as you, only one key 08 Shelby

[@automotiveantics]

Yes I got it from the locksmith.

[@Thelegendking-yj4bm]

New subscriber here. I only have 1 master and I bought the switchblade key took to locksmith had key cut but they for some reason couldn’t get the vehicle into program mode I’ve looked up mustang forums and it says I indeed do need 2 master keys to enter program mode ? 06 gt. Any ideas?

[@automotiveantics]

Welcome to the channel! I'm not sure why you can't get into program mode. My locksmith did it with only having the one key. I'm sorry I can't help more with this but it might be worth a second opinion from a different locksmith

[@andonbryan5228]

Mine has a chip is there a way to program that?

[@GabrielHernandez-wn74]

So I can't program the key if I don't have the original two? I only have one

[@automotiveantics]

I haven't heard of anyone who has been able to, but a locksmith can

[@tatales]

What windshield tint o you have on the gt 500

[@automotiveantics]

35%

[@jmx3v324]

How much you think Ford would charge me to program and cut my new key cause I only have one master

[@automotiveantics]

Ford Probably won't do it. I called the dealership and they said the key won't work. Clearly it does because mine works. The dealership is funny that way. I would just go to a locksmith

[@jmx3v324]

@@automotiveantics I went to a locksmith today and he said he couldn’t program it and key is the same as yours but the color is red

[@automotiveantics]

@@jmx3v324 I would try a different locksmith. Mine didn't have a problem programming it at all

[@leomtz2919]

where did u purchase the sticker that goes on that empty space

[@automotiveantics]

Ebay

[@leomtz2919]

Do u have a link or anything specific i would have search up?

[@automotiveantics]

@@leomtz2919 I don't have a link. I just put Shelby key fob sticker in the search bar

[@TAZ95C4]

Can this be done on a 99-04?

[@Jc-ke9uf]

Yes

[@kevinowens6681]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@topdollarmobile7460]

Jeff bezos has a gt500!!

[@jmx3v324]

I have one original key could this work

[@automotiveantics]

You can try but you usually need 2 original keys

[@Willyum28]

I have both my oem keys where do I key the new key cut?

[@automotiveantics]

Any keysmith can cut it

[@andonbryan5228]

That’s the only reason mine won’t work

[@CDub512]

Couldn't watch. Kept rambling on n on about other things. Get to the point next time.
