Programming fobs to 2023 Explorer PIU
Posted: Sun Dec 21, 2025 7:33 pm
Hello all, happy holidays!
I just recently purchased a 2023 Explorer PIU and it came with 3 PATS keys and 0 fobs. In turn, I did a few days worth of research and went down to the dealership and purchased 2, three button fobs (GB5Z15K601C). Now I cannot find the settings anywhere in FORScan. The original window sticker states 'Keyless Entry - 4 fobs' so I know it is in there. I was able also able to get the vehicle setup in the ford app and that gives me access to the door locks and remote start but it is slow and I would like the fobs. AI has exhausted all its resources and is now telling me to go to the dealer. (Tho it did find all the info stating it was there and active in the as-builts) Any help would be great appreciated if someone has done this for this model year or knows what I am missing. Thanks.
