RTrud: If you have an ELM327 or ST11xx compatible OBD2 to USB adapter, I have found software that will do PATS programming.

FORScan forum ? View topic - How to program PATS using FORScan v2.2.*

Additionally, this software reads DTCs from the ABS module, the Message Center, the CDS (Crash detection system, AKA Airbags) the GEM, and just about every other electronic module in the Ford lineup!




If you don't have one of those adapters, I can swing by sometime and try mine out on your Excursion. I'm like 5 miles south of you.

Did you use the forscan software to program your new keys?

Yes. Wait for them to release version 2.2.8. I found a bug in 2.2.7 that didn't let me access the PATS unit.

There are so many out there and want to make is works with forscan.

Thanks
I have an older OBDLink unit with Bluetooth. (I didn't use Bluetooth to connect it to the computer, it still has USB on it as well.)

I've had this scan tool since about 2010; Bought from http://www.scantool.net.

You can probably use a cheaper Chinese clone from eBay or Amazon.

Download FORScan

Looks like if your going to use a computer it's free. I actually downloaded the lite for android but haven't played with it yet.

Check the link I posted. There is a download tab.

Additionally, there is no way to buy it. It's free!
I offered to send money. They declined.
