Programming new Key Fob

[brlr2000]

I recently lost one of my key fobs for my 2024 XLT. I was going to buy a replacement key online. Does anyone know how to program the replacement key fob? And can any locksmith cut the new key to match old one?

I believe, for you program a spare remote you need both original remotes. Otherwise it's going to be Ford or a locksmith.

Well maybe I'll keep looking for the other original remote...and then make another copy.

I read the the thread that you provided the link.
Sadly, it still requires two existing original key fobs to copy a store-bought one.

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.
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.

For the Lariat -
To program - open center console. Pull up felt cover - place first existing fob in depression - push start button ( without foot on brake ) ignition comes on- count to 5 - remove fob - push ignition off - put second existing fob in depression - push ignition on - count to five - remove fob - push ignition off. take new fob - put in depression push AND HOLD start button down - you should hear chirp and message - key programming successful.
All in all pretty simple procedures and a few dollars and effort now can save you hundreds later !

Just called the dealer from which I purchased my 2024 XLT Hybrid to get a quote for a replacement key. I have lost 1 of the 2.
Prepay for the key precut from Ford for $295.97 and 1 hour at $150.00 to program it!
I asked what the tech did for the 1 hour but it was the parts person who did not know.
Oh and it might take 1.5 hours depending on how fast the internet was that day? WTF?
I will keep looking for the lost key and monitoring this feed for cheaper alternatives.
