NOTE: This procedure works only if the customer spare key programming is enabled. If the customer spare key programming is disabled, REFER to Key Programming — Enable/Disable Spare Key Programming or Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment .

NOTE: Steps 1-7 must be carried out within 30 seconds to successfully enter programming mode.

1. Begin with the ignition OFF.

1. Place 2 programmed IA keys inside the passenger compartment.

yes i did and its not activated on my car, for the price you pay you would think that should be active......

 

[SHOrod]

That's a bummer. I checked the service manual to see if it's possible to enable the spare key programming and the manual states, "If spare key programming is disabled, spare keys can only be programmed by using the scan tool."

Be careful with that procedure. It is enabled on my car. I assumed it just had the car learn the new key like programming the older Ford keys, but nope. It actually changes something inside the key.

I used the exact procedure above with the key for my wife's 11 Explorer Limited thinking I could carry 1 key for both cars...now I have 3 working SHO keys, and only one working Explorer key. The Explorer key no longer works in the Explorer. Only the SHO.
