About Ford keys
- Ford's transponder system is called PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System). The chip must be programmed for the truck to start.
- Many Fords use a flip key or remote head key. Push-button models use Intelligent Access fobs.
- Some Fords let you set a MyKey to limit speed or volume for teen drivers.
- Work trucks and Transit vans are a regular job. We come to the job site.

Keys we cut and program for Ford
Transponder chip key
A chip in the head talks to the car's immobilizer. The blade can be cut anywhere, but the car will not start until the chip is programmed.
Remote head key
Key blade and lock/unlock buttons in one piece. Both the chip and the remote have to be programmed.
Flip key
The blade folds into the remote. Popular on Ford, GM and Hyundai/Kia models.
Smart key / proximity fob
Push-button start. The car detects the fob in your pocket. Most have a hidden emergency blade for the door.
What we do for Ford owners
Ford key questions

Yes. We come to wherever the truck is parked.
What is a Ford PATS key?
It is Ford's chip key. The blade turns the lock and the chip tells the truck it is allowed to start.

The year and model, where the Ford is parked, and whether you have a working key. On site we check your ID and registration, as California law requires.
