Lost key

Postby spudd » Tue Aug 20, 2019 8:10 am

I have somehow managed to lose the fob to my transit mk 7. Is this a ford dealer only replacement or has anyone an idea of a company I could use.
Needs to be a remote fob replacement as the van has security lock and a remote is easier.

I bought a stolen/recovered van with no keys but I had an old key from another van. My mate was able to code it to the new van using some diagnostic reader or other, without needing an original key. So I'm sure you'd be able to code it yourself using Forscan (which I didn't know about at the time).

I coded my old key to my new van myself and when a mate of mine broke a key I was able to program a key from his other van to work on both.

So if you have a key you can program the van to accept the key but you obviously need to get the blade cut or swap it from the old one.

Have a look here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=194737

There is some information as to what I used to delete lost keys from the vehicle memory and reprogram a new one.
