Works, but tricky if you don't have two working key fobs

Ford had an easy way to add a key fob if you have two working key fobs. If you do, order one of these and youtube how to add a third if you only have one. I used a registered version of FORScan for Windows and a Veepeak USB adapter. After a 10 minute security check (helps ensure you are not connecting to a vehicle without the owner's knowledge) you can retrieve the door key code and remove all car key fobs and add new ones. Here's the tricky part - if you can't add at least 2 key fobs, the car won't start. On my wife's expedition I was able to add the original and one of these, and when I had 2 working key fobs I was able to add a third using the no scan tool Ford owner/user method to add a third. The problem I found with adding new ones with the software was that the software prompts didn't tell you when to present each new key fob and I seem to have been able to add two. If you use the software to remove all known keys and cannot add 2 or more, again the car will not start until you do so.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
