seamusbleu Report post Posted January 29, 2010 I know it takes two keys in order to be able to self program a third key. For that reason, I want to add a spare to the two keys you get with the new car (you do get two, right? I still haven't taken delivery of mine). What I want to know is if there is a cheaper option than a standard key with the lock/unlock/etc buttons. Basically, a "plain" key that just has the security chip necessary to enable the ignition. If so, does anyone know how much such a key would cost? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, does anyone know how much such a key would cost? Yes, I just did that exact thing for the same reason. You can buy a non-remote key at the local Ford dealer for $25, including cutting. This has the necessary chip in it. I let our daughter use that key so she doesn't lose a good key. You can get blank plain Ford keys on Ebay for $10-15, but then you have to get it cut and hope it has the right chip in it. Just easier to stop by your dealer.
