2008 Ford Explorer Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a mom near Freedom Park in Camarillo. She was sitting in a school pickup line with a 2008 Ford Explorer, two kids in the back, and one remote head key that had gone through a full wash cycle that morning. The three buttons on the OUCD6000022 were dead, and the transponder chip wasn't reading either. The car started that morning on a fluke, but once she shut it off at school, the PATS light just blinked and the engine wouldn't turn over.
She had already called the dealer. Three days out, plus a tow.
I got to the lot in about 25 minutes. Plugged my programmer into the OBD-II port under the dash, pulled the PATS security data, and started the key learn procedure. Ford's system builds in a roughly 10-minute security timeout per key during programming. No way around it. While we waited, she fished the old key out of her purse. The board inside was still damp. I told her to let it air dry for a couple days on a towel, not rice, and maybe it would come back as a spare. No promises.
New 164-R8070 was cut and programmed in under 30 minutes total. She tested all three buttons from outside, started the car, and pulled out of the lot with time to spare.
The dealer would have been a multi-day ordeal. This was a Wednesday afternoon.

Five Stars for Fair Ford Prices
What honest rates sound like in reviews
“My car keys were stolen on a cold evening and Nick drove all the way out to Santa Barbara. He got into my car, made a new key, and charged $100 less than another company. Friendly, skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Nick is a hero.”
“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.”
“Very professional and extremely affordable. The price was literally about three times cheaper than what my dealership quoted me. Fast service and no stress at all. Highly recommend.”
