The Ford smart key, and how we set one up.
PEPS is Ford's own shorthand for passive entry, passive start, the system marketed as Intelligent Access, and this five button fob is the version that adds remote start to the usual lock, unlock, trunk and panic set. It fits Ford cars, SUVs and trucks from 2011 to 2020 that start from a button rather than a key. The fob does its work from a pocket: the door unlocks as you pull the handle and the engine starts from the dash, while the buttons handle the rest from across a parking lot. It is a complete fob with the transponder that satisfies Ford's PATS immobiliser and the transmitter for the remote functions on one board, and it is paired to the vehicle in a single session with the car connected. The only cutting involved is the small emergency blade stowed in the fob, which we shape to the driver's door on request. There is no Ford dealership in this process; we do it with the vehicle at 4105 Macdonald St in Vancouver or at the roadside. A word on shells. A PEPS shell is the outer case and the five button pad, empty, and it is the right purchase when your fob still starts the truck but the case has split at the seam or the remote start button has worn through; your board goes into it and nothing is reprogrammed. Choose the complete fob on this page when the fob is lost, has been through the wash, or no longer responds after a new cell. Five button Ford fobs have a particular failure: the remote start button gets pressed more than any other and its contact wears out first, leaving a fob that locks and unlocks but will not start remotely, which is a shell or a new fob, not a programming fault. Have the vehicle, its registration and photo identification with you, plus any other fob you own, since a lost last fob means reading the PATS data from the vehicle before a new one can be written. Call 604-734-7233 with the model and year to confirm the layout.

Can you program this key to my car?
If the FCC ID or part number matches your key, yes. We program it at the counter or at your car.
Do I need the car there?
For programming, yes. The key is paired to the car itself.
My key looks the same but the FCC ID differs. Will it work?
No, it will not program. Match the FCC ID, not the look.
Can you erase a lost key?
Where the car allows it, yes. We remove the lost key from the car's memory when we program the new one.
What ID do you need?
Photo ID, and the registration or insurance in your name.
