how do i change the factory set code? i have read my manual and mine doesn't tell me how or if i can change it. i would assume i can?

The factory code is permanent as far as I can tell, you can only add your own codes.

This is true. You must keep that factory code and you must have the factory code to even make your own code so don't forget it.

On mine, I want to say I saw a place to change this on my setup screen on the naigation unit. Not sure if you don't have that how to do, but like others said, you need the factory code to create a new one. If you lost it, the dealer can pull it from the PCM from what I hear, or I have read that there is a security badge module on your truck with it somewhere, or at least in the past there was at one time (probably behind the back seats on the rear wall of the cab). Your manual should tell you how to do it.

There should have been a small card with the code in the glove box/manual package. If you can't find it, I'd take it to the dealer. I had an older Nissan with a keypad, couldn't figure out how to program it, but eventually learned that the code is on a sticker somewhere.

To change the code... enter the factory code then press 1 then type in 5 more numbers. "your new code" Do this all quickly and the doors should lock and unlock once it takes your new added code.

A buddy of mine bought a used superduty didnt come with the code card, i told him at ford they should be able to extract it from somewhere, right?

If you know the year of the truck, you can Google it. It's on a sticker somewhere on the truck. My daughter bought an 2010 Escape with no door code card in the glove box. I googled it we retrieved it for her in just a few minutes. She had asked her local Ford dealer and the service guys couldn't find it.....

In theory, Ford can get it from the computer, but some guys report that their dealer wants big bucks for it (like $100 or more).

I believe I read that it is in the front passenger area. It may be behind the panel by the right foot. I tried to take that panel off but gave up after about 15 seconds because I didn't want to break it. That was for a 2010 F150. Someone can check if they are better at getting that panel off than me.
