Focus ST Key programming?
Hi all,
I've purchased a new remote key off ebay and had it cut.
I've programmed the remote locking/unlocking from my previous remote key and that's working fine.
I now am trying to program the key to start the car but cannot seem to get it to work!
I've followed all the instructions i've found and still nothing!
I have 2 working keys - one non remote key (with red chip) and one remote key.
Anybody any tips? Is it even possible to code a new key to the immobiliser on an ST?
Cheers for any help

If you have two working keys then you can add a key to the system as posted above.
Failing that, you dont need to go to a ford dealer, in fact thats the last thing you wanna do, unless you know someone who works there. Look for an auto locksmith. It takes less than 5 mins to do, and wont cost the earth.
