Programming a New PATS Key for Ford using FORScan | Step-by-Step Guide

[@c.brionkidder9232]

thank you Sir this was a great relief. Bought the car at auction and only got one key! For anyone who doesn't have Forscan yet, get it!

[@89G]

Glad it helped you out! And yes... Forscan is a must!

Good evening sir. Your video was perfect timing. I have a 2013 Ford F150 I bought used. I to added a remote start that came with two keys. I was able to program the first key (Key+fob) and the second key would only start the vehicle. I found out I reached the limit of programmed keys. I wasn't sure you could erase and reprogram the original key until I watched your video. Thank you! Thank you!. Also, you instructions on each step to set up forscan plus programming the fob was excellent. Again, Thank you!

@user-Mark_Anthony thank you for the feedback. I am happy it helped you! Thanks for commenting, it means a lot to hear from viewers!

@@89G You're welcome sir. One question, I have the free 2 month trial of Forscan. If I go to settings - MS-Can Support to make sure it is set to "HS/MS switch" will this work for me with the free trial?

[@89G]

@@user-Mark_Anthony Yes... if the PATS shows up on your screen as an option, it will work. Forscan doesn't give the option if it won't do it. Hopefully that answers your question?

[@user-Mark_Anthony]

@@89G Yes, sir. Again thank you for the video and responses. Happy New Year!

[@89G]

@user-Mark_Anthony you bet! Happy New Year to you as well.

Great video my friend! That’s an awesome ability to have, being able to set up keys like that could save anyone hundreds of dollars! 😎🤘

@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 agreed!

@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 Forscan has already paid for itself just with one key. Thanks for watching!

Now I watched your video and I noticed you did this with a certain type of Scan tool one thing I didn't catch do I need the exact scan tool that You used an order to program my key or Will a regular Bluetooth ODB tool like I have already work the same?. For instance, I'm using veepeak. I am under the impression based on what you're saying is you need a device that is capable of doing ms/hs can function Or it will not work or you will not see the option for pats. From what I can tell the Bluetooth device I have does not have hs/ms can functionality

[@89G]

If you can see the PATS function with your adapter, it will work. If not, I put a link to the VGate Vlinker adapter in the video description. There is a short list of "verified" adapters, and the VGate is on that list of FORScan friendly adapters. It's also the most cost effective option that will auto switch MS/HS. Thanks for your question! Hopefully that answered it.... if not, let me know.

@89G yep! Yep I appreciate it. I ordered it. The one I seen just to be safe Now if only the set of keys I bought aren't damaged. Went to a regular hardware store. They charged me $2. They cut whatever key I brang into them no problem

[@89G]

@jaygee6983 awesome! I love getting a deal like that!

[@SleazysGarage]

Ah, great video! My FIL has been fighting with the PATS in his plow truck. This looks exactly like what he needs (or by extension I need). Looking forward to the remote start video. Hope you and the fam have a Happy New Year!

[@89G]

@SleazysGarage Thank you Sleazy. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@zfamilygarage]

Order two keys last night have them here tomorrow I'll have this done on New Year's day.

[@89G]

Nice! I love Forscan!

[@zfamilygarage]

@89G does forscan give you some of the instructions on the amount of time and what to do with the key when you put it in the ignition

[@TechGorilla.]

hi I didn't see you program the key or this is all you have to do❓

[@89G]

I am assuming that you mean for the buttons? If so, go to 11:03 in this video. Otherwise, the PATS procedure in FORScan does program the key to your vehicle. Thanks!

[@AwakeDude911]

so when the tire /lube tech tells me is gonna be like 2 hrs before he gets to the oil change hes making a key at home depo and running a program to copy the key ? and my address is right in the dash....man the future is great!

[@89G]

Yeah, it does take longer than it would have in the 80's. But point taken. Thanks for watching!!
