Ok so I was looking through the systems on my dash and somehow I set a speed limiter on my truck. Owners manual is not real clear on deleting it. (Can't find the set up button). How do I get rid of it?

 

Maybe I'm reading the wrong manual, but it seems pretty clear to me.

Clear MyKey™
To reset all MyKeys™ as admin keys do the following:
For standard message center:
1. Turn the vehicle on using the admin key.
2. Press SETUP until PRESS RESET TO CLEAR MYKEY is displayed.
3. Press and release the RESET button. HOLD RESET TO CONFIRM CLEAR is displayed.
4. Press and hold the RESET button for two seconds until ALL MYKEYS CLEARED is displayed.
For optional message center:
1. At the main menu screen select SETTING then MYKEY by pressing OK or the right arrow key.
2. Press the down arrow key to get to CLEAR MYKEYS.
3. Hold OK until you see ALL MYKEYS CLEARED.

 

Perfect. Got it thanks

 

what if you bought a used truck and not sure if you have the admin key or not. how do you reset then?

 

Iirc if you have two keys one is the 'my key' and one is the admin key

 

I only was given 1 key when I bought my truck. When I bought it, no settings were programed. however, when I recently brought it in for service, it came out of the shop with a mykey setting. I can get to the mykey setting but I have no option to cancel or adjust it.

 

What's the model year of your truck, lsukevinc? I'll see if I can get some instructions for you based on the year of the vehicle. If you'd prefer, you can reach out to the service manager of your dealership; I know they'd be happy to help.

I have the same problem,
I was messing around and turned on MY KEY. I would like to turn it back off.
I went through the manual as Shotgunz has advised, but the only button I have says Setup -/+ and it will not go to Reset MY Key with the other key in the ignition and turned on.
I am going to try again tonight as Shotgunz has said,I'll let you know.

 

unless I cannot follow direction, I cannot get mine to clear. let me know if you are successful.

 

This worked for me.

1. 
   NOTE: This procedure is used to clear the MyKey® feature on all of the keys that are programmed to the vehicle. All of the keys then operate as normal (admin) keys with no restrictions.
   
   Insert an admin key into the ignition and turn the key to the RUN position.

1. From the message center main menu, use the up and down arrow buttons to scroll to and select Settings. Press the OK button.

1. Use the up and down arrow buttons to scroll to and select MyKey. Press the OK button.

1. Use the up and down arrow buttons to scroll to and select Clear MyKeys. Press the OK button.

 

I must not have the admin key. I was only given one key when I bought this truck. The settings tab does not give me an option to access "mykey". Like I mentioned above, last time I brought it in for service, they some how programed it to a mykey setting. Is the dealer the only one who can remove this setting now?

 

I still cannot the my key setting off. I bought the truck used and only got one key. When I got the truck, no my key setting was active. After the dealership worked on my truck, a mykey setting was active. I went in yesterday and one of the advisors said I would have to bring it in next week. I said I want it back the way it was before I brought it here with no my key setting. He said they may have to cut and program a new key. I am not willing to pay for that since I did not request mykey setting and they are the ones who turned it on.

Am I right it wrong by demanding the my key setting to come off wether it cost the dealership money or not?

 

How do you determine which key is the admin key? I have tried both keys and they say 1 mykey programmed.

 

It's been awhile, but I believe I read in the manual that with a my-key, the radio wouldn't come on until the seat belts were latched.

You can confirm this in the manual, if so, just use your two keys and see how they function.

Edit, just found this on ford site regarding my-key.

"The safety belt reminder will be turned on, and the audio system will mute when the front seat passengers’ safety belts are not fastened."
