2014 F250 keyless entry code
I purchased a 2014 F250, used for about 3 months, but used. My problem is I cannot find the code to change the keyless entry to a personal one. I called the dealer that I bought it from only to find that first they could do it for $98 and when I questioned the charge, she said , oh, we cannot give it to you as that was an aftermarket item. The owners manual mentioned the card with the number on it but of course , no card .. previous owner probably has it. So does anyone know how I can get the code for changing it out. Can Ford Dealership do it ? This does not look like an aftermarket item.
thanks

Thing is I do not know what the factory code is, the card is missing that would have it on it.. someone said it would be somewhere else in the truck, possibly under the dash. I am assuming that the dealer can retrieve it since they wanted to charge me to get it before I told them I bought it at their dealership, then I was told they couldn't get it as it was an aftermarket item???

That is what I thought also, especially after Service was really eager to tell me how much it would cost first. There are other Ford dealers and non-dealers so now I will know where to go and what to ask.. I would even pay for it somewhere else but not the dealer that I bought the truck from. We are a Ford family, we have two F250's and the daughter has a new Lariat, other family members also own Fords, our MH is even on a Ford chassis.. so I will not let one dealership discourage me.
thanks for the info.. will let you know when I get it done. The son has it for a few days in Houston.. so come next week I will know more..

I bought my 2011 used and without the code. I found several articles (sorry... too long ago to remember where) that describe what module under the dash to find the factory code printed on. I found mine on a sticker just where it was described.... I belive it was way up under the dash near the column. I needed a flashlight and a small mirror.
The factory code (at least on 2011) is not changeable, one additional owner code can be programmed (or reprogrammed over).

On my 2005, the keyless entry module can be seen on the firewall if you drop down the driver side tray. The preset code is on the sticker on the face of it.
There are various discussions about it in this forum, and I'm not positive if the 2014 has it in the same location but assume it is the same general vicinity.
If you send me $98 I would be glad to go to a local dealer and look behind the dash on one of their 2014s to verify where it is

ASDREW , you are so funny but also honest!!
In regards to my dilemma , I got a phone call mid morning from the salesman that sold us the pickup. He told me to bring the truck in and they would 'reprogram' it so that I would have a number to use for my personal code. I asked if there was still a charge and he told me 'NO' , so maybe it will be settled but I am sceptical so I will be asking questions this time prior to the " reprogram"
thanks everyone, sorry asdrew, but at least you do not have to go look at a 2014 to see where it is.. darnit

Problem fixed! Sales called and asked that I bring the truck in and they would take care of it.. when we got there yesterday, he came out with a small box in his hand, it was a new after market entry key pad with a new number. So it was after market after all.. but then some other trucks on the lot had the same keypad even tho some had a different look to them.
Salesman said he needed to find someone in the tech department to put it on as he didn't know how,, my son was with me and he is technically inclined, so the salesman handed it to him and said thanks and if you have a problem, come on back down.
No charge and no computer hook up...
thanks for all the replies and help...
