I recently purchased a 04 F150 it came with 1 key and no remotes. So I order some new remote's and 2 blank keys, then I realized you need 2 originals to program them yourself. And $85 Bucks to get a key programmed seems dumb I'd much rather spend 300-400 on a programmer to disable pats all together. What's the best route to go and can a edge programmer do this by default or do I also need to take to to a shop to get a custom tune?

Or can I just buy my own key programmer?

If you are going to buy your own key programmer and only use it maybe once for $90, why not just bite the bullet and pay the dealer the $85?

Well I can always sell the programmer but I cant sell my key And maybe make some side money programming keys on the cheap lol

DrGriffin

true. Maybe someone here already had that idea and is willing to program it cheap?

my 06 only cam with one key. I went to WalMart and they read they read the key and and programmed and cut a new one for about $50. I was also able to program new remotes without a working one after one fell apart and the other went through the washer.

I only had 1 original when I bought my 06, went to ACE hardware for $70 they made me a new one took like 5 minutes

Buying from China? Beware!!! Your package can get stuck in customs, and can cost you a bunch to pay the fees. Beware of any seller from China that states they ship and "lie" about the package; get caught and pay a hefty fine to customs as well.

i bought that same model from china. I've had it for 2 years now. Programed at least 3 keys for every vehicle in the family... even coworkers.
good luck
