Key Fob - replacement

[NW Ontario Ford Lightning]

I think it will work, but like you, I want to be certain.

I had to replace my fob last month and went with thelockdoc.ca after seeing a few folks mention them. They were quick, and the pricing didn’t feel like a ripoff compared to what the dealer wanted. Plus, they got it programmed on the spot without any hassle, which saved me a trip.

Apparently, from what I've read, the truck can only have four fobs in total at a time. So if you make two spares, you couldn't add another OEM one later without a trip to the dealer. Seems like a dumb artificial limitation to me but that's what I heard. FWIW

My neighbor lost his F150 when the dealer tech programmed another key to his truck and stole it the night after it was serviced. It was recovered after a high speed chase and crash - the dealer techs girlfriend was driving it.

On my trucks I’ve filled all 4 slots with programmed fobs. When I pick it up I make sure all 4 of my fobs work.

So I was careless and lost one of my two key fobs. Local dealer said about $450 to replace / reprogram of which $165 was for the programming. Purchased a replacement fob for $110. Site said still have to take to locksmith or dealer to program / cut the emergency insert key. Any idea if there is a process to program the fob ourselves?

I just had a spare madde with a lock smith here in Georgia for $200, key cut and fob programmed with only one original.
