Remote Key Fob Programming

Hello all,

Just swapped the 08 Limited for an 08 Limited EL! The EL only came with 1 aftermarket remote start fob. I still have one OEM fob from the other truck and am wondering how to program it for the new one. I know how to do this on GM vehicles, but not on the Ford. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Figured it out - cycle the key on and off 8 times. THe locks will engage once, then hit either lock or unlock on the fob you want to program.
Now if I could only program the extra remote start fob!

Thanks - but where is the programming/override button? I don't even think the old remote start fob (factory ford one) is compatible with the system on the new truck, which has a new fob for all functions. I think the new one is maybe the silver or Gold version.

Which one do you have? Those instructions should be for all systems (RMST and RMST/RKE/VSS).

Top fob is from the old truck's system. The new truck's fob resembles a stock ford remote fob, with 4 buttons, lock, unlock, panic, start.
Don't take too much of your time for this, I just like playing with new toys!
Thanks much for your help!

I love playing with new toys also and I dont consider that wasting my time I just got my Gold system alarm/remote start installed last saturday so this is also a new toy for me.

The three pictures above are the bronze/silver/gold system fobs. I bought the gold and the third fob is what I have.

Hi, I have a 2010 Expedition that came with only 1 remote. No remote start on the vehicle. I would like to have a spare key/remote and I have found them for $50 online. Buy, does anyone know how to program the new remote to match the vehicle?
Thanks

Hi all.

I also have had an issue where the Expy didn't come with fobs.

It's a 2007 Expedition EL Limited with the power liftgate. We bought the 5-button remotes figuring it just *had* to have the fob-operated liftgate.

I go through the programming procedure fine and all of the buttons operate correctly (door lock/unlock, panic, lift gate glass) *except* the power lift gate. Is there an additional procedure to get the power lift gate working, or is there possibly a fuse or other option that wasn't installed to enable this? The lift gate *does* work with the rear handle as well as the button on the dash.

TIA!

Gold key fob

Hey fellas, I just figured out where to find my keyless entry keypad code for my Expy on this forum, now a question about my key fob.
I have the gold version according to the pics above. I downloaded the PDF instructions for programming it and after a few reads I kind of figured it out except one thing. Where is the override button at?????
My remotes will lock and unlock doors and though I haven't tried it yet, I believe the panic button works. What isn't working is the blue remote start button and the "1" and "2" buttons which I believe are for the memory seats.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jason

SickPup…..I know this is an old post, but did you ever figure out what the problem was? I have the exact same issue with my 07 Navi, liftgate fob button does not work, otherwise all other buttons works as designed. I bought a new key fob and still the liftgate button does not work. Button on the dash and the pull handle works fine.

Sorry, no help. I don't recall ever getting the liftgate button to work on the aftermarket fob.

We traded the Expedition on a 2011 Edge, so my memory is getting a bit fuzzy about it, but I remember two things that stuck with me because I couldn't solve them - the liftgate button on the key fob, and I never could find the factory door code sticker on the ECU in the passenger side foot well...

Best of luck!!
