You can program this yourself once the key is cut by a locksmith IF you have 2 working, programmed units already.
Programming Instructions Step by Step:
Use these instructions if your Ford F150 has the flip key system.
A maximum of eight keys can be programmed to your vehicle. To program a key yourself, you will need two previously programmed keys.
If you do not have 2 working, programmed flip keys, you will need to have this programmed by a locksmith.
Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Insert the first previously programmed key into the ignition and turn the ignition from the OFF position to the ON position (maintain ignition in the ON position for at least one second, but no more than 10 seconds).
2. Turn ignition from the ON position back to the OFF position in order to remove the first programmed key from the ignition.
3. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of removing the first previously programmed key, insert the second previously programmed key into the ignition and turn the ignition from the OFF position to the ON position (maintain ignition in the ON position for at least one second but no more than 10 seconds).
4. Turn the ignition from the ON position back to the OFF position in order to remove the secondprogrammed key from the ignition.
5. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of removing the second programmed key, insert the new unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the ignition from the OFF position to the ON position (maintain ignition in the ON position for at least one second, but no more than 10 seconds). This step will program your new key to a programmed key.
6. To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), repeat Steps 1 through5.
If successful, the new programmed key(s) will start the vehicle's engine and operate the remote functions.
