There has been many questions on the keys for our beloved trucks and as a locksmith I can say if you lose all your keys you will more than likely have to tow it back to the dealer until our software is updated. HOWEVER I have confirmed on board programming works if you have the original two keys ( two programmed keys ) - you can program them yourself - that has been mentioned here before. Do this NOW !!! before you loose one of the two keys LOL.

On the XL or XLT trucks you can either add a flip remote or just a standard key ( possibly you might want to add two cheaper keys as a backup ) On the Lariat only the fob will work however the emergency key is not required. I thought I would put links to which keys to purchase and you can take them to a local locksmith just to have cut - as long as you maintain two extra you are in good shape adding in the future.

To program you insert the existing first key, turn on ignition, count to three, take out put in existing second key turn on ignition - count to three - take new third key - turn on ignition - leave on - you should hear a chirp and a message key was successful.

All in all pretty simple procedures and a few dollars and effort now can save you hundreds later !

Great info. What would you say is a reasonable rate for a locksmith to charge to cut the key? Without any expecation of them programming it for the customer.

Question for you about this, but different models.

My daughter had her 2016 XLT Explorer totaled out. She still has the second switchblade key at the house.

Would it be possible to program the electronic portion of that key to work as an emergency backup for my Lariat when it comes in?

I thought about trying to reprogram it for the 2015 XLT F150 shes got now, but not sure if the blade can be changed for recutting the key portion.

I'd have to take it in if that's the case as my key cutting machine doesn't do the side cuts. (I work maintenance and rekey buildings among other things, so while not a locksmith I do have some experience, just not with vehicles in particular)

on the 16s useually you can use an onboard procedure - cycle the ignition 8 times so Id say yes. The Maverick - havent tried that but there is no onboard to program jus the remote. The blade can be changed - there is a small pin at the base.

Thanks. I think I'll talk to her about changing the blade and having a third hey for hers in that case.

If I want extras I'll just buy the proper fob.

Thanks for the info.

Awesome, thanks for sharing the simple DIY instructions! For the Lariat key, does this program both the immobilizer and the keyless fob?

Glad to see it doesn't take a scanner to reprogram. Ages ago, I worked at a Toyota dealership and it was similar to this to reprogram immobilizer keys (made for easy side job cash), but the smart keys required the scanner.

Yes. the remote functions and start are programmed automatically. I have some advanced scanners / programmers but the software hasn't been updated for the Maverick yet. 😞

Will this activate the remote start buttons on the new fob if you don’t have them on your original fobs??
