MyKey(TM) Programming

Using MyKey(TM) with Aftermarket Remote Start System

Program Remote Start System as a MyKey(TM)

NOTE: The # MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED or the # ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED messages that may be displayed in the message center includes the remote start system as an additional key in the total count, depending on whether or not it was programmed as a MyKey(TM). Refer to the Check MyKey(TM) System Status to determine if this is the case. Check MyKey(TM) System Status

NOTE: The MyKey(TM) system is not compatible with non Ford approved aftermarket remote start systems. If a Ford approved remote start system is installed on the vehicle and it is started using the remote start, the vehicle stalls if a door is opened or if the vehicle is shifted into gear. The driver must insert their key into the ignition lock cylinder, cycle the ignition to the ON position and drive the vehicle with the MyKey(TM) restrictions that are programmed into their MyKey(TM). If the remote start system is a non-Ford approved system, the vehicle may not stall when a door is opened or the vehicle is shifted into gear. If the remote start system has not been programmed as a MyKey(TM) and the driver is a MyKey(TM) driver, the driver could possibly drive the vehicle using the remote start system as an admin key with no MyKey(TM) restrictions. To resolve this incompatibility, it is necessary to either recycle the MyKey(TM) before the vehicle is driven or program the non-Ford approved remote start system as a MyKey(TM).

1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors.

2. Remote start the vehicle using a remote start fob.

3. Follow the steps of the Program a MyKey(TM) procedure.

2. Remote start the vehicle using the remote start fob.
