I purchased a flip key today. I got the key cut. The instructions for programming this unit have two parts, one for the key programming and one for the RKE programming. This is how I programmed by PAT keys and RKE FOB for my 2005 F150 and 2006 Escape. The 2010 Ford owners manual only states one programming method is needed for the one piece key/FOB. Using the 2010 owners manual method I got the key programmed and it starts the car, but the RKE portion of the flip key does not work. I tried the older method to program the RKE after the Ford owners manual method did not work,but the RKE still does not work. In the older your method, you turn the ignition from off to on 8 times and then press one the the RKE FOB buttons, the doors will lock after the 8th turn of the key. On my 2010 Mustang the doors did not lock. The locking of the doors is the indication that the car is in the programming mode. Is there another way to program the RKE?

 

Worked ok for me with my 3rd "emergency" key and seperate key fob from my older ford 4 button remote. If I remember right be sure to not turn it back past acc and I think and it may be more times like 10-12. All I remember for sure is when you hit it right the doors lock and unlock and then you push the lock on all 3 remotes.

I took the car to the local Ford delaer this afternoon. The tech did the key on-off 8 times and the door locks cycled. I noticed he was turning the key very fast, much faster than I did. The tach and speedo needles hardly moved. He told me I was probably turning it too slow, that 10 seconds is the maximum time. Once the locks cycled the tech press a button on each of the two factory IKT and then did the flip-key, all three worked fine.
