Spare Key Programming

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The customer spare key programming allows spare keys to be programmed (up to a maximum of 8) to the BCM without having to use a scan tool. Two programmed keys are required to carry out the procedure. This procedure can be disabled so that spare keys can only be programmed to the vehicle using a scan tool. Refer to KEY PROGRAMMING - PROGRAM A KEY USING TWO PROGRAMMED KEYS  for the customer spare key programming procedure or KEY PROGRAMMING - ENABLE/DISABLE SPARE KEY PROGRAMMING  for the enable/disable procedure.
