Mykey
Hey guys. I am new to this thread as of today. I need some help with my key. I bought this 2012 f250 and it has only one key. It has door lock, unlock, and panic on it. I have noticed it has been programed to 80 mph max and radio is set at 40 %. I need some help in getting this program removed. The truck is an xlt if that matters.

Not 100% sue, but believe you are going to have to go the dealer to get it cancelled.
Here is what the manual has to say:
System check and vehicle feature customization
Press the SETUP button repeatedly
to cycle the message center through
the following features:
Note: Some items are optional and
will not appear.
Note: When returning to the
SETUP menu and a non-English
language has been selected, HOLD
RESET FOR ENGLISH will be displayed to change back to English. Press
and hold the RESET button to change back to English.
RESET FOR SYSTEM CHECK
When this message appears, press the RESET button and the message
center will begin to cycle through the following systems and provide a
status of the item if needed.
1. OIL LIFE
2. EXHAUST FLUID LEVEL (Diesel only)
3. ENGINE HOURS
4. ENGINE IDLE HOURS
5. CHARGING SYSTEM
6. DOOR
7. BRAKE SYSTEM
8. TBC GAIN = XX.X (if equipped)
9. FUEL LEVEL
10. MYKEY DISTANCE (if MyKeyis programmed)
11. MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED
12. ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED
Note: Some systems show a message only if a condition is present.
The MyKeyfeature allows you to program a restricted driving mode to
promote good driving habits. All but one of the keys programmed to the
vehicle can be activated as a MyKey. The key will remain restricted
until MyKeyis cleared. Any remaining keys are referred to as an
“administrator key” or admin key. The admin key can be used to create a
MyKey, program optional MyKeysettings, and clear the MyKey
feature. When the MyKeyfeature is enabled the user can use the
system check in the message center to see how many MyKeys™ and
admin keys are programmed to the vehicle, and how many total miles
have been driven with the MyKeyactive.
To reset all MyKeysas 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.

I think you are right about going to the dealer. I did find a thread on my key and it sounds like I need two keys to do anything at all. Not a fan already, but I can understand the advantages of this system. I can hear the dealership cash register ringing now. Cha ching. I do love my ford trucks though. Thank you.

My Key is great for valet service or for limiting what the truck can do when your kid drives it, but a pain if you don't have 2 keys. The dealer is probably the only help on that one. Sorry man, and good luck!
