Lacombe Ford Thankfully my truck came with two keys.

[@Nala-l1x]

Yeah I would suggest not messing with some of the features if you have one key one wrong will cost fortune . I am in this situation with the speed and in other to get that fix I ll need a second key from the dealership and them To active key reset plus service fee I be looking at 500 something .

Lacombe Ford I had 2019 Mustang Ecoboost and I had only one key, when I get to My Key option, I don’t see Create My Key... do you know why? Thanks

[@lacombeford]

patrong Ngu-win you need two keys in the vehicle, one must be programmed as the admin key. If you only have one key, you’ll need to get another one

[@mrjimmysboys]

It would greatly benefit your viewers to know the year and model vehicle in your demo....not all Ford MyKey functions are universal, depending on the year/model.

[@lacombeford]

GEMMAE great suggestion! You are absolutely right... we maybe need a compilation video of a few different configurations! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@mrjimmysboys]

@@lacombeford FYI...I have a 2011 Ford Edge Limited that had two MYKeys. I called six Ford dealerships in my area and got a range of pricing from $99.97 to $475.00 to reset both keys. I tried several locksmiths and even Batteries Plus in my area can reset keys...none of the Non-Manufacturers worked. The high priced dealerships said that they MUST create another Admin key which drove the cost up so high. My research found that not to be true, so I paid $135 at a Ford dealership to get both keys reset without having an Admin key. Sad part is ONLY ONE guy on the service staff knew how to do it, took him about 2hrs.

[@lacombeford]

GEMMAE wow!! That is so unfortunate that so many couldn’t help. Our team has had many folks into the service centre to reset their keys and as long as we have two its fine. Same thing as you said about the $135. Sounds like you found a great dealer!

Hi, good day, please I need your help on how to deactivate the seat belt sound for my ford edge 2011

[@lacombeford]

The instructions are in the owners manual. 1. Turn the ignition on. DO NOT START THE ENGINE. 2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (approximately 1-2 minutes). • Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt warning light turns off. 3. For the seating position being disabled, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times at a moderate speed, ending in the unbuckled state. • After Step 3, the safety belt warning light will be turned on for three seconds. 4. Within approximately seven seconds of the light turning off, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt. • This will disable the Belt-Minder feature for that seating position if it is currently enabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning light will flash 12 times in three seconds. • This will enable the Belt-Minder feature for that seating position if it is currently disabled.

Zonita F many rental companies do activate the limitations to protect their vehicles. Unfortunately if you are heading onto the freeway this could present some issues. You would have to discuss your situation with Alamo.

[@gm8599]

Is it possible to do this worth both keys just picked this car up from dealer amd domt realy want to have to go all the way back just for a key that need programed still

[@lacombeford]

Have you tried accessing MyKey with both keys in the vehicle? You’ll find out if one is programmed as admin if you can access and change the settings in Mykey. Otherwise if you are worried about getting stuck with limits ON, you can phone the dealership/your sales person and ask. Last option is to wait on doing anything with MyKey until your next service and they can program it if you want then.

[@Distinctiveweddingvideos]

Great video. Question, when you say put the key in the center consul you don't specify which key. Are you talking about the key you are programming or the ad men key?If it's the key you are programming how can you do that by taking it out of the ignition the following something? Thanks

[@lacombeford]

We did not remove the key from the ignition because this is a vehicle with push button start, the directions are slightly different for a vehicle with key in ignition. Our Manager, Tanner, is going to shoot a quick video for you to explain. We will post it here asap! Thanks for watching :)

@@lacombeford So if I want to avoid taking it to the dealer can I buy just one key and make it just another my key but without restrictions and not have an admin key at all? On Fords mykey features site it seems to say that I just put a key in that I want to program as a mykey.

[@lacombeford]

@@Fordluv from our experience you need to have it properly programmed as an admin key.

[@lacombeford]

You can try it for sure, and perhaps a second key wouldn’t have restrictions but every example similar to your case we have had leads to having program a key.

[@Fordluv]

@@lacombeford Okay. Just was going by how I read it at fords mykey site under creating a mykey. I can get the keys for cheap on Amazon, its the programming thats about 200 bucks here in my little town in BC Canada

Which key is considered the administrative key in this process

[@lacombeford]

It depends on which was programmed that way. As long as both keys are in the vehicle it will work.

How much it should cost to reprogram both keys, from the dealer?

[@lacombeford]

Celina Chavez every dealer has their own pricing, but we will ask our service team first thing in the morning and get back to asap. What do you drive?

[@lacombeford]

As we mentioned before, some dealerships may charge differently than we do. When a customer comes in and needs keys programmed to clear MyKey, they require 2 keys to perform the function and they would be charged the same as a PATS key program. $98 including GST. That would eliminate all MyKey programs. This would cost more if a 2nd key was required to purchase (as there must be two keys, with a master key). We hope this helps Celina, thank you for watching our video.

[@wonderlove4515]

Why did my car start limiting me with no warning or us doing anything?

[@lacombeford]

Your mykey must have been activated. You can remove that setting by having both keys in the vehicle and accessing in through the control center (in front of your steering wheel).

Caleb Lyda you can go to a local dealer and get order a second set.

Hi so I’ve tried everything to remove or deactivate or clear all the my key features with both keys in the car and nothing has work. It doesn’t give me any other set up options anymore for me to even remove it. It just says “2 mykeys. 56.6 mykey mi. 1 admin key”

You are sure that one of the keys is programmed as the admin key?

I have one key and accidentally activated it, if I were to unprogram that one key and reprogram it, would that trick the car into thinking this is the key without mykey activated

So I might have been mistake messing around with the settings. Also the thing that says whatever amount of miles till empty has been malfunctioning. It had said 372 MI to empty when I left work and I went just a few miles to the tire shop and then it went down to 315 miles that quickly and then when I get back to my apartment it went back up to 368 miles plus the gauge is going up and down I think the gauge itself is in the right spot but I'm not sure. I'm not sure if that was because of me messing with the settings or not.

With utmost respect to most of the regular individuals at Ford, including the one making this video, My car is not a PC. Keys start the vehicle and open doors. Nothing more. If you disagree and keep trying to make it anything more than that, you can have your vehicle back. I won't have my "keys" be treated like anything other than keys. You want to turn them into "settings", or admin vs regular games, get the hell out of my car. I'm getting rid of this thing; perhaps we'll chat again when a key is a key. What kind of bonehead got authorization to turn just plain simple keys into some kind of PC-administrator-style thing, _keep them off of the drafting table,_ and away from what I drive. They can go back to working on Microsoft Windows Business Edition or whatever the hell they were doing before. Good Lord, this shouldn't have to be explained, to anybody. A key opens doors and starts the car, and that's all it needs to do. _I repeat, that's all it needs to do!_ Disagree - and you can leave future vehicles at the dealership, I'll drive something else.

Fair point and we do love our classics too. The future in vehicle technology is fast evolving and as a dealership our role is to do our best in helping people feel comfortable with the new way our vehicles communicate, good bad or otherwise.

Vinicius Felinto If you don’t have a second key at all, then you would have to purchase a new one and then we would have to program both keys. Without a VIN# we can’t say for sure what the cost would be. Keys range from $50-$350 plus programming ($99 + GST). It’s pretty hard to give a rough cost. If you get us your VIN# we can be more specific.

Talked to several Ford people, including relative that works for ford and yep, ford tracks your car and sells the data. Do I faraday the antenna on back car?

[@lacombeford]

Here's what I got for you Tim from our Service Manager. A vehicle cannot be tracked through a key fob. The only way a Ford vehicle can be tracked is through the FordPass app. His friend would’ve had to have went into this vehicle and switched the share connected vehicle data option to on. Then he would’ve had to download Fordpass and add this vehicle to his account. If the other gentleman already had FordPass, he would’ve had to allow access for his friend. Then you can track where the vehicle is located.
