Default Key fob programming

im needing to buy a spare key for my truck before we move and was looking around and found a key that has the fob built into the key and i really am interested in that, since i cant stand more then one key on my pocket it would be real nice to have, the only thing i dont want to do is pay ford to program both parts of the key for a ridiculous price, i know i have to have the key prgrammed but is there any way to program the fob myself? with a few friends previous cars (x-type jag and saab 9-5) we were able to program it by switching theingnition on and off a number of time and holding a combo on the fob. ive look on google and couldnt find anything that anybody says has work. do you guys know anything about this?

Have you read your owner's manual?

No? Look at page 90.

Don't have a manual?

Look at the link in my sig.

to program the key you will need 2 programed keys or a working remote start.
