Just so you know '05 does not use a signal solenoid for the turn signals. It is controlled via the PCM as well.

 

Anybody know where to get a key cheap? Prices on ebay seem to have gone up a bit.

 

Seems these guys on egay are reading this thread.

 

Has someone tried this out on a 2005 manufactured MUSTANG?

 

I've just ordered mine for 35 bucks. Lets see if it works on my 05. If not, I'm gonna sell it to an 06 or 0X owner.

 

It's pretty much a given that it will not work on an 05 or 06

 

My '08 worked great! Easy to do, both PATS and buttons.

Much nicer having only one key to carry.

 

mine are cut and fully functional one thing that aggrivated me though is that i went to a dealer and they copied the keys, one is kinda tight to turn in the lock cylinder. i am kinda pissed about it. but overall very happy with the keys.

 

Have them rerun the 'tight' key through the machine again.. it might have a high spot or something.

 

And why is that? Please enlighten me. Thanks.

 

Something about a different computer. Look through some of the thread, other people with 05/06s have tried and it won't work.

 

I'll try anyway and let you know.

 

i coudl do that i am going to try and work some magic with high grit sandpaper, see if that helps first. i wish the dealer had cut them for me though.

 

It's not going to work. You'll be able to get the car to start with the key because the PATS will still work, but the RKE will not. So basically you'll have a really big key with non-functioning buttons.

If you haven't had the key cut already, you might as well sell it.

 

Local Ace store refused to cut the key. I then tried a local locksmith I know who cut it for free. Thanks to all for this great mod!

 

The guy at my Ace said it wouldn't work. I told him that it would because I know how to program it and quite a few others have done it successfully. He said ok and cut the key. No charge.

 

Lowes told me the same thing, that it wouldn't work. I told him that I could program it myself and he said OK.

 

why does every hardware store minimum wage worker seem to think they're an expert on vehicle security and ignition systems?

 

I contacted several of the ebay sellers and asked for a deal on two. Most said they'd give me free shipping for the second key.. One however said $50 total for two, shipping included! They arrived Tuesday but I haven't had a chance to program them yet.

 

Ok, maybe we are getting to the nucleus of the 'issue'.

What is PATS?
What is RKE?
What does any of the above have to do (impact) on that new key for an 05 Mustang?

Thanks.
