Programed chipkeys!

Some of the local hardware stores can duplicate and program Ford PAT's for $40.

Re: Programed chipkeys!

Do they offer this service for all model years, or only those that can be done with two working and programmed keys? Some model years can be programmed using two working programmed and the steps in the owner's manual.

Almost any Make & Model with a programmed encrypted key.
Found this out today at the local Ace hardware store, My Mazda tribute has a PATS & the new key works fine.

Re: Programed chipkeys!

why go to a hardware store for keys? why not go to a specialist like a locksmith? someone who cuts and programs keys for a living.

I hope they require proof of ownership.
