STANDARD REMOTE PROGRAMMING (For most models, if this does not work, please try other programming instructions located below)
Please make sure to read through the programming before attempting.
All remotes that are expected to work for the vehicle will need to be with you in the vehicle before attempting to program. Any remotes not present at the time of programming will cease to function until reprogrammed.
1. Enter the vehicle, close, and unlock all doors using the power unlock switch on the driver’s door.
2. Insert the key into the ignition.
3. Within ten (10) seconds, switch the key as far to the ON position as it will go without starting; then back to OFF, perform this step eight (8) times ending in the ON position on the eighth (8th) time. Each cycle ON to OFF will count as one (1).
If the door locks appear to be cycling after the fourth (4th) ON to OFF cycle, restart the procedure from STEP 1 and only turn the key four (4) times in this STEP, ending in the ON position the fourth (4th) time.
At this point the vehicle door locks should automatically lock and unlock, indicating that the programming mode has been activated. If the door locks do not cycle automatically then the programming procedure has failed and you need to restart the procedure from STEP 1.
4. Within seven (7) seconds, using any remote, (we recommend first programming original remotes if you have one) press and release the LOCK button. The vehicle doors will automatically lock and unlock indicating the new remote has been accepted.
5. Repeat STEP 4 for all remaining remotes you wish to program (you can program up to four (4) remotes total).
6. Once you have programmed all your remotes, exit the programming mode by turning the key off and removing it from the ignition.
7. Test all remotes to ensure they are functioning. If any did not program, restart the programming procedure from STEP 1 and switch the order in which you are programming the remotes.
FORD FOCUS REMOTE PROGRAMMING (2012 and newer models)
1. Enter the vehicle, fasten the driver and passenger side seat belts, close, and unlock all the doors using the power unlock switch on the driver’s door.
2. Insert the key into the ignition.
3. Within six (6) seconds, switch the key as far to the ON position as it will go without starting, then back to OFF, perform this step four (4) times ending in the OFF position on the fourth (4th) time. Each cycle ON to OFF will count as ONE (1).
At this point the system will chime, indicating that the programming mode has been activated. If the system does not chime then the programming procedure has failed and you need to restart the procedure from STEP 1.
4. Within twenty (20) seconds using any remote, (we recommend programming original remotes first if you have one) press and release the LOCK button. The system will chime indicating the new remote has been accepted.
5. Repeat STEP 4 for all remaining remotes you wish to program (you can program up to four (4) remotes total).
6. Once you have programmed all your remotes, exit the programming mode by turning the key as far to the ON position without starting, then back to OFF and remove the key from the ignition.
7. Test all remotes to ensure they are functioning. If any did not program, restart the programming procedure from STEP 1 and switch the order in which you are programming the remotes.
KEY PROGRAMMING
Please make sure to read through the programming instructions completely before attempting.
You must have two (2) factory keys that can start the vehicle to perform this procedure. If you do not have two (2) factory keys for the vehicle currently, a trip to a dealership or an automotive locksmith will be required for the programming.
1. Enter the vehicle and close the driver’s door.
2. Using the first factory key, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position as far as it will go without starting the vehicle and wait three (3) seconds; then turn it to the OFF position and remove the key.
3. Using a second factory key, insert the key into the ignition and turn to the ON position as far as it will go without starting and wait three (3) seconds.
4. Turn the key OFF and remove it from the ignition.
5. Using a new key, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position as far as it will go without starting and wait two (2) seconds.
At this point the vehicle will illuminate the immobilizer warning lamp (usually a circular red light or car shaped red light on the dashboard display) for three (3) seconds, then the light will go out, indicating that the key has been programmed successfully.
6. Once you have programmed your key, exit the programming mode by turning the key OFF and remove it from the ignition.
7. Test the key to ensure it is functioning by starting the vehicle with it. If it did not program, restart the programming procedure from STEP 1.
8. To program additional keys, restart the programming procedure from STEP 1 and use the same two factory keys to program the remaining (you can program up to 8 keys total).
