Keys and Remotes

[VJ 6 Aus]

Does anybody know if it is possible to program focus/ or any other ford for that matter key remotes to transit mk6 probably a silly question but I just like the idea of having the key and remote in one unit

Mr NightHawk anybody??

[MrMPuk]

Me and madmark were talking about this and came to the conclusion that it wasn't possible.

[transitgeoff]

yes it can be done ive got one mk6 on a focus all in one key has to be a blue chip mk6 Transit though no mk5`s if your local to me my man will do it for you, cut and programmed

[MrMPuk]

madmark will be pleased!

[Nighthawk]

the all in one remotes will work as they have a blue chip "rolling code" system,


BUT

It's been proven to cause the starters to burn out through extended engagement because some of the keys make contact with the trim covers around the ignition switch and keep it in POS III

Thanks Gents, so a bit of judicious Dremelling around the end of the Key should sort out the Pos 111 issue shouldn't it??
and what about programming same as usual??

and Geoff Thanks for the offer but of all the accessories I am fitting water wings ain't one of em long drive to UK from Australia just to get a key coded......
" back in a minute Love .... just off to get a Key sorted for the new Truck .........in England"


Anybody have the correct remote part number

[Nighthawk]

They will program in the same manner as the normal fob.

The fouling issue didn't seem to affect every vehicle , so I would strongly suggest having a good look at the key when inserted in the ignition barrel.

You need to make sure that it's not touching on the metal of the barrel or the trim, so the key can spring back as you come away from the crank position.

NEW transit does have the all in one key.......but it's not the same as the old one and it's bright BLUE!!! to signify that it's one of the new fangled automatic charge type.

Cheers ,
The Hawk saves the day again

[transitgeoff]

yes the locking bit programs the same as the old seperate fob but the chip still needs programing or you wont be going anywhere but still you will be able to get in and out of the van

Did you try asking Luke for your sign in details? Just reply by email to the thread notifications. Oh, and if you rethink the water wing option thing, I am sure you would be welcome at a run in the UK

Another stupid question is it possible to program new keys ( not remotes) if you only have one original key, the owners manual says no but what would they know you lot are lots smarter

[MrMPuk]

If you only have 1 key then you will either need to take it to a Ford dealer or a locksmith that can program them for you.
