No, It is not needed. Go to the dealer to have it programmed.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Keypad Code Programming

Post by kevvyd »

This is a feature in Ford FDRS that allows you to add a wireless keypad (stick on) to your 2020+ Ford. (Or program a replacement Key)
We really need this functionality added to a Forscan version soon. PLEASE!
@FORScan
Can/Will you please make this functionality available in FORScan for us? Has there been any attempts to add this?
You can no longer do this by "Key Cycles/Brake pedal" etc.... at home/DIY methods.
The vehicle "sees, or recognizes" the stick on wireless keypad as another remote key. So really, owners should be able to add.

Dealerships overcharge viciously for this 8 minute task.
Only Dealership (or someone with a FDRS license and J2534 interface) can program a simple keypad to the RTM
Many Dealerships are unsuccessful or incompetent at doing this simple task, even though they have all the requisites in house.
Dealerships in USA seem to have a 3 week lead time for any kind of service.
The Dealer programming costs more than the hardware!?!?!!!?

PLEASE HELP, This is EXACTLY the kind of thing an End-User of your product (FORScan) wants! Thank you.

This is SO needed for anyone who knows that Ford's wireless keypads are so great. Unfortunately many dealers have no clue that they even exist, much less how they operate. I regularly respond to many owners who are LIED to by their dealer about them.

Does anyone know if this ability has been added to Forscan yet? I have a 2019 Transit and the FDRS download does not appear to cover that year. My original RKE Pad died so bought a new one and need to program to the vehicle.
