Bronco Keyless Entry Keypad Programming *How to Add Your Own Codes

[@sharmilabandyopadhyay2884]

Your dad has an awesome garage!!

[@shockerracing]

Thanks! It is pretty amazing!

[@TugHillGuy]

Thanks, I was able to add a new code. It probably doesn't allow you to write over the old code in case something goes wrong and then there's no default anymore. After you punch in the factory code you have to hold the 1-2 button until you see the light flicker. Then you can punch in your new code.

Love the idea of the keyless entry keypad, so I can leave the keys in the car. However, I don’t like the look of it on the door, so I ordered it separately and attached it on the inside of the fuel door, to hide it.

[@shockerracing]

I’ve been seeing a lot of people doing that. I don’t hate how it looks, but I may also move it at some point. Possibly when I wrap it, because that will be a good time to remove it.

[@tatersnmusterd5665]

You can relocate the factory one also

[@shockerracing]

@@tatersnmusterd5665 I’m probably going to do that when I wrap mine.

[@kevinkwit9871]

How do you program a aftermarket one?

[@jbower1991]

Does it have any issues being mounted that far from the door?

[@joesgarage618]

What do you press if you want the number 2 as your first number. If you press the 12 you're going to end up getting a one and then a two just as you did.

[@theresafrayer6622]

Only thing I would add is that you have to enter your new code within 5 seconds for it take. I was doing it too slow then I read where it has to be done within 5 seconds.

[@andreaslack8379]

I notice that when you unlock your new code unlocks all doors as I can here it and also see the lock move on the passenger door. Ford's standard behavior had been to only unlock driver and then push 3-4 to unlock the rest. My Exploer and my Bronco Base require the extra step to unlock all doors. My Bronco Black Diamond unlocks all like yours here. I wonder how unlocking all can be enabled/disabled so I can make both my Broncos act the same.

[@warpigs4874]

On your touch screen: 1- settings 2- vehicle 3- locks 5- remote locks 5- change to “drivers door” or “all doors”

[@ginaz2640]

For Broncos with factory remote start, Ford website says "Requires Dealer Service Tool (IDS/FDRS)" Do you know if it has to be programmed at the Dealer? I assume yours does not have factory remote start? Thanks

[@fixedguitar47]

Nice Opel GT in the background

[@360dave1]

How is the key pad already programmed to my bronco? I enter the code but nothing happens? Feels like we are missing a step.

[@kimberlyanderson2141]

Good one James!

[@stevenphillips5323]

Thank you so much for this!

[@shockerracing]

Always glad to help!

[@CaroleeDrotosSwales]

Do your tips work for the Bronco Sport?

[@shockerracing]

It should work the same

[@tedschmitt178]

The keypad on my 2-week-old Bronco Sport works intermittently when locking. Is there some trick not listed in the owner manual?

[@shockerracing]

That’s weird, it should work consistently

[@rottsrool]

On my way to steal your stuff 😅 hey great video 👍

[@shockerracing]

😂😂😂

[@buckingblackbronco8552]

So I can leave me key fob in the Bronco of I lock up using the keypad?

[@dylanlam6430]

yes

[@KameronATM]

Will the car still start if you lock the key in the cab with the keypad?

[@dylanlam6430]

It should not. i was told not. If your fear is someone taking the key from the inside and starting the car, they would first have to type in the code on the keypad. This is what I was told from the Bronco forums.

[@timsizemore3098]

If mine doesn’t have the keypad is there a way to add it after delivery?

[@shockerracing]

I believe there is, but you may have to have the dealer program it to your vehicle

[@sharmilabandyopadhyay2884]

I tried this because it's what the instruction pamphlet says, and my car doesn't take the new code. The doors don't lock and unlock after the new code is entered.

[@Projectoffroad]

Thanks again! Just reprogrammed my bronco! The dealership said you couldn’t do in on broncos. 😂

[@shockerracing]

Ugh, dealers are useless!

[@AllTerrainNation]

Cool!

[@shockerracing]

Thanks Dave!

[@LazyBrosVidz]

Can you add this to a base model?

[@rasmbret]

Yes, my base sasquatch has it and I've already added my custom code to it

[@LazyBrosVidz]

@@rasmbret cause My truck I got screwed by the dealership, sold me it as a badlands. I was all excited bought it picked it up and I’m like badlands with no leather wrapped steering wheel ? Or anything? Insurance tan the vin it’s a base they put the badlands decals on it so mad a stink about it got the truck for msrp 34k instead of 58 like they originally sold it. So now I’m just building my own. But does it come with the code in the packaging ?

[@rasmbret]

@@LazyBrosVidz $110 add on at the time of ordering. Probably cost more now, everything else does

[@LazyBrosVidz]

Yeah I got mine today, it doesn’t work unfortunately unless I’m doing it wrong used my code on the card but doesn’t do a thing

[@rasmbret]

@@LazyBrosVidz looks like a visit to the dealership is in your future🙂

[@ProStar-Ghost]

Ok, simple question: The first button is a "1|2" shared button. How does it know I am pressing the "2" instead of the "1" ? Yes, I know, mind blowing question. If my keyless entry code was: 2, 4, 6, 5, 3; Now, how does the keypad know which digits I'm attempting to use? Don't tell me "so simple a Cave Man can do it." thanks a mil.

[@shockerracing]

That’s honestly a good question. 🤷‍♂️

[@ginaz2640]

Push the pad once for 1, and twice for 2

[@ProStar-Ghost]

@@ginaz2640okay, when i do exactly as you specify, here’s what happens: if i tap the [1|2] twice to program the 2, the MY23 Bronco assigns both the 1 and the 2 as programmed into the code. so only three additional keys remain for the five digit personal code.

[@bradt9350]

@@ginaz2640 >>>WRONG

[@kevinkwit9871]

Go Bears!

[@ripperx444]

I decided at the 2min mark that I don't want to interact with this thing and will use the key fob!

[@EricHedden]

Thanks for this. Video could have been 4 min shorter tho.

[@arthurmarks3763]

Video is too long. Should’ve been 60 seconds.

[@danielblank9567]

This video is no help to those with a used bronco without a code card. Not hating just pointing that out

[@jeeplimpan795]

Think this is like a 80s gimmic? Who wants to press a code every time? Whats wrong with the key fob? Or keyless like the JLs? But great how to video anyways :-) Greetings from Sweden / Europe

[@shockerracing]

It’s a really nice feature to have if you need to get in but don’t have the key with you. Also, a lot of people like to lock their key inside when they go to the beach or a concert and don’t want to carry their key.

[@jeeplimpan795]

@@shockerracing Ah, okey...nothing i ever thought about, but sounds nice.

[@hitleractually8180]

Not sure if you can do this with the Bronco, but back before I had my Bronco, I had a Grand Marquis with keypad and it was nice to be able to leave your car running and lock the door while you run into the store real quick (in winter, to keep car warm) and come out and key yourself back into the car. I used to do this ALL the time. It was great! When I ordered my Bronco, I KNEW I wanted that keypad, so that's how I ordered it.

[@ginaz2640]

Ever been kayaking, or inner-tubing down a river? you can leave the key fob in the vehicle, in case you fall in the water.....
