Ford Immobiliser & Transponder Key Systems

Ford introduced their PATS (Passive Anti Theft System) immobiliser technology from 1994 onwards to improve vehicle security and prevent hot wiring.

Earlier systems mainly used Texas 4C fixed-code transponder chips (commonly known as T3 chips), often recognised by the red marking on the key head. Some models from this period also used Philips type 33 (T5) transponders.

From around 1998, Ford upgraded many vehicles to Texas Crypto 4D rolling-code transponder systems (T7 chips), normally identified by a blue marking on the key. Around the same time, Ford also introduced remote central locking fobs with integrated transponder technology.

These immobiliser systems require specialist diagnostic equipment to correctly program replacement keys to the vehicle ECU.

Lost Your Only Ford Key?

If all keys are missing, we can still help.

Using specialist lock decoding tools, we first create a mechanical key without damaging the locks. The replacement transponder key or remote fob is then programmed directly into the vehicle memory via the OBD communication system.

In most cases, spare Ford keys and remote fobs can be added within minutes when a working key is available.

Ford Remote Fobs & Spare Keys

We provide replacement Ford remote fobs, spare keys and central locking remotes for both older and newer Ford models, including integrated flip-key systems.

All programming is carried out on site at your home, workplace or roadside location.

Locked Out Of Your Ford?

Ford vehicles can sometimes self-lock with the keys still inside. If you’re locked out, our locksmiths use specialist non-destructive entry methods to safely regain access without damage to the vehicle.

Emergency and out-of-hours vehicle opening services are available.
