How to program your own key. SAVE $$$
Re: How to program your own key. SAVE $$$
Tried it nothing happen.I've tried several attempts by different mech. Does the bezel power wire for the key way light need to be connected? I've pulled it out of the connecter yet I can't find were it hooks on to .
(broke the wire you ask, YES) If its for the key light only I can do without it. But if it some how connect the FOB key code then I need help to find the location for the repair.

This newbie xf owner is pumped. Picked up new key from dealer, he advised it will be 75.00 to program. I looked at him with my big brown eyes, and said really? I just paid 150 for the key. I then asked, how long will it take for programming? His response, about 1/2 hr. I looked at him, said no thanks, I can do it in less than 30 seconds. What I did not tell him is that I have been reading threads on the forum, and I was going to follow the steps.
Insert the key into the ignition switch.
Press either the lock or unlock button momentarily twice.
Turn the key in the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position within 30 seconds. Started the car honked the horn laughed all the way home. Thanks for making this old lady look like she knew what she was doing. I love you guys for sharing

I will try it again this afternoon by pressing lock/unlock prior to inserting the key in the ignition... hmm wonder if that will do it. (yes, both batteries ar CR2025, though I can't remember if I replaced both of them when I replaced them a couple months ago)

1. Insert the key into the ignition switch.
2. Press either the lock or unlock button momentarily twice.
3. Turn the key in the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position within 30 seconds.
What I have learned from reading the many entries on this issue, is that the key fob has to be programmed to your vin. Otherwise, you will be sitting in the driveway. Good luck.

Re: How to program your own key. SAVE $$$
i bought the the car from a dealer an hour away from home. dealer agreed to share some of the cost of a new key, then mailed to my home. key will start the car, no problem, just can't operate door locks.
btw: they ordered the new key and it took about 2 weeks to arrive.

Re: How to program your own key. SAVE $$$
I am so thankful that you made it to step #3. . I am not very technical or mechanically inclined, hence why I am looking for a good mechanic or some old dude to fall in love with my car, and he wants to work on OEM, and dress her up (not to old!) and must live in Charlotte or nearby. I have two lights on, one for the TPN and the other indicated I had a light out. Once, I figured out location of light, I went into the trunk, found how to remove panel... jiggled the wires and it worked for now. TPN, I am going to use the electrical tape to cover it, I read that on the forum as well.
Re: How to program your own key. SAVE $$$
Thanks to the OP for posting this up! I just replaced the batteries in my second key/remote and it didnt want to register with the car. Re-programmed it to the car as instructed and it worked like a charm. Now I have a functional second key for my car!

Re: How to program your own key. SAVE $$$
When I got the car last Dec. it only had one key. So I ordered a new one.
Meanwhile, I spoke with the previous owner( got the car from a dealer) And he had the spare key, and original radio.
After reading this thread, I programmed the FOB today...VERY EASY, Thanks!

Re: How to program your own key. SAVE $$$
Ok question, when you guys unlock your car using the ignition key did u have the alarm going off while you re-programmed via this procedure? When I unlock my car the alarm that I'm assuming came with the car goes off, I can start the car for about 3 seconds and then it automatically shuts off. Thoughts?
