2015 Ford Focus SE, 2 OEM Keys, erase and program not working

[mialhe30@gmail.com]

uHey everyone thankyou for taking the time to read this post, as above I have a 2015 ford focus and FORScan extended license, I have the OBDLink MX+, which came as recommended. My car only came with one key and so I figured Id give programming another key a shot, so I got a key from amazon and the dealer and figured Id test if it worked. I also have the Autel KM100, which upon receipt of both the keys I used to check to make sure the keys are of the correct transponder, which they were. I tried to do erase and program keys, and followed the onscreen instructions to turn the ignition to on and wait for six seconds, I did this with my original key, with the amazon and with the oem key and it did not work. My car is in a zero key situation and Im not really sure what to do from here. Luckily I have another car so Im not permanently stranded but any direction is appreciated.

Best regards

Michael

I should note Ive tried the procedure a total of 7 times now, and have also ordered more transponders

Update, I ended up calling a locksmith and they did pretty much the same procedure I just did, but they used the autel 508 tablet. Not sure why it didnt work for me but to the intrepid reader who comes acrossed this forum wanting to do this procedure I highly recommend take the keys you want to program, if one isnt already programmed to the car try the “add ignition key” procedure, if it fails do not try to erase keys. Return your amazon key and cut your losses. Ill update when I find a key you can order that I confirm working.

Another thing you should keep in mind is that after the procedure pretty much every module had a code for “lost communication with body control module” Ill post the codes when I have time

It looks like the name of the key way is hu101, and if you buy just the blade its pretty cheap. You could probably test cheap key transponders by just cutting a blade and then using the blade to turn the ignition and putting your cheap keys fob part by the ignition keyway, and then if it successfully programs with add ignition key, just get it cut. Limitation is that you need to either have a spare key or know your key code to do this bc obviously otherwise you couldnt get a blade cut
