2006 Ford Explorer Remote head key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Ford's PATS programming isn't a dealer-only procedure. It hasn't been for years. The car's immobilizer checks the transponder chip through a coil around the ignition or through a proximity antenna on push-to-start models. Programming a new key means telling that immobilizer to accept one more chip code. I do it through the OBD port with a cable and a computer. No dealer bay, no lift, no Ford-only software.
A customer at the mall near St. John's Pleasant Valley Hospital was convinced her 2006 Ford Explorer needed to go to the dealer for a new key. She'd been told that by a friend, by the dealer's website, and by a Google search that landed on a forum post from 2012. All of them were either wrong or outdated.
I met her at the mall lot over her lunch break. I used my VVDI Key Tool to generate a new transponder chip matched to her car's immobilizer frequency. Her remote head key, FCC ID OUCD6000022, was a 3-button smart fob that I programmed and tested right there. Lock, unlock, push to start, remote start, all working before she finished eating.
Her car sat in the same parking spot the entire time and she paid about 94. Dealer wanted 202 and an appointment next week. The car doesn't know or care whether the key was programmed in a dealer bay or a mall parking lot. The security handshake is identical either way.

“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
“I needed a second key made for my 2012 Nissan Altima. They arrived quickly, finished in about 15 minutes, and gave me the best price I could find.”
“I called EZ Car Keyz to unlock my truck, make a key, and sync a new key fob. They were at my location within minutes and handled everything fast and friendly. Prices were great and the service was excellent.”
