2016 Ford Fiesta Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

She was at a restaurant in Oxnard and her purse was gone. Someone grabbed it off the back of her chair. Car keys, house keys, wallet, phone. She borrowed the hostess's phone and called the police first, then her husband, then me.

Her 2016 Ford Fiesta was in the restaurant lot with zero keys. The dealer told her husband they could order a key but it would take 3 to 5 business days, the car would need to be towed in, and they recommended having the locks rekeyed since the stolen key could still open the car. Combined estimate was over $700.

I got there that evening. All-keys-lost is a different procedure than adding a spare. When you add a key, the car already trusts an existing key and just adds a new one to its list. AKL means I clear the entire key memory and start fresh so the stolen key can no longer start the engine. I used my IM608 to access the PATS module, wipe the old key data, and program two new keys from scratch. Her smart key, FCC ID KR55WK48801, was a 3-button proximity fob. I decoded the lock with my Lishi, cut the emergency blade, and had both fobs working before she finished the police report.

She drove home that night. Total was 276 for two new keys. The dealer estimated 471 plus a tow and a multi-day wait. The stolen key can still physically enter the lock but the immobilizer won't let the engine start. She had two fresh keys and the old one was dead to the car.
