Disable factory keypad

[gsharky]

Hi

Someone stole my wallet and I had the factory keypad code in there. I know the code but I can't seem to disable the keypad.

Is there a way to disable the factory keypad if zI know the factory code?

Thanks

Did you try changing the combo?

I don't believe that changes the FACTORY code. Which can also be found inside the vehicle under the glovebox behind a plate. (Edit: This is the location for Bronco Sports. I don't yet have a Maverick to verify.)

I think the OP should contact their dealer to see if the factory code can be reprogrammed to a different value. (Or, is it possible to change using Forscan?)

Unfortunately that doesn't affect the master code. Even ForScan or a dealer can't reprogram it short of replacing the BCM.

The only way is a new BCM.

Oh wow, didn't know that.

This doesn't seem secure or even smart. Why have a key pad that can be broken into at any time with the code? Why even have it? Why would I use it? Stupid option!

Being able to keep my keys in my truck while I’m at work is pretty convenient.

How exactly would you know the factory code to my truck?

This kind of 'master override' code is supposed to stay at home in a safe location, only to be used in 'oh crap' situations. You're not supposed to haul it around in your wallet.

Yes I just bought the vehicle and stuffed the card in my wallet, my bad.

First thing I did was re-program with my own code and then locked up the factory card in my home safe.

You may be able to disable it using FORScan, but I don't think that you'll be able to reprogram it that way. Sounds like a trip to the dealer is going to be your best bet.
