How to Match a Ford Focus Key?
2 Answers
Ford Focus key matching method is as follows: 1. Place the car key inside the vehicle, then close the door and fasten the seat belt; 2. Within 6 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the ACC position 4 times, then turn off the ignition switch. After hearing a prompt sound, press any button on the remote key within 10 seconds. Upon hearing another prompt sound, confirm the action. Repeat this step with both the new key and the old key; 3. Turn the ignition switch on again or wait for 10 seconds without any operation, and the system will default to the completion of the key matching process. The Ford Focus is a compact car under the Ford brand, equipped with an 8-inch multimedia display, featuring the SYNC3 system, and supports Apple CarPlay and Baidu Carlife functions.
Hey buddy, I've got experience with Focus key programming! The most reliable way is to take the key code card you got when buying the car straight to the 4S shop, and let the technicians reprogram it with their professional computer. But remember, you must bring at least one original key, otherwise the system won't recognize the new key at all. I just helped my neighbor with his 2017 Focus last week - the 4S shop charged nearly 2,000 yuan. It's pricey but absolutely foolproof. Some people online claim you can buy OBD equipment to do it yourself, but I really don't recommend messing with that. If you mess up and trigger the anti-theft lockout, it'll be even more troublesome. Oh, and after programming, remember to test both old keys together - sometimes old keys become invalid after activating a new one, so you don't want to accidentally lock yourself out!
