2018 Ford Flex Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Do you need to tow your 2018 Ford Flex to the dealer? Probably not. For most Ford models from the mid-2000s through the late 2010s, I handle all-keys-lost right at the car.
A customer in San Marcos had his only key die at home late at night. His Flex was sitting in the driveway with a push-to-start system and no fob the car would recognize. He assumed a tow was inevitable and had already started planning his week around not having a car. I told him to stay home and that I'd come to him.
I connected my Smart Pro to the OBD port and ran the Ford smart key AKL procedure, which clears the old key data and learns new fobs to the car's body control module. His Smart Key, FCC ID M3N-5WY8609, was a 5-button proximity fob with an HU101 emergency blade inside. I programmed it in his driveway at 10pm. He seemed pretty surprised the whole thing could happen that late at night.
His total was about $261. The dealer would have been $447 plus the tow. There are a small number of very new Ford platforms where the immobilizer is locked to Ford's online system and my tools don't support AKL yet, and those do go to the dealer. But for the vast majority of Fords on the road, 2005 through about 2022, I do all-keys-lost on-site every week. If your model is one of the rare exceptions, I'll tell you straight up instead of wasting your time.

Lockout to Five-Star Review
Lost key panic turned to five-star praise
“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
“Needed a spare car key made and chose EZ Car Keyz based on their reviews. The reviews were right. They gave me the best price, responded quickly to all my questions, came to my workplace, cut the keys on site, and finished fast.”
