![]() She ended up losing it and now I was stuck with one key.Īs I was searching inside of my explorer looking for the lost key, I ended up finding the original keys that were lost many years ago, buried way down inside of the front passenger seat. Recently, I gave my daughter one of the newer programmed keys so she could use the explorer. I lost 2 keys in 2005 and I had to have my explorer reprogrammed by the dealer costing me around 400.00. The total cost with tax was $18.07 and it was delivered right on schedule. Discover gave me a coupon, and I joined the free 30 day trial Amazon Prime membership to get the 2 day shipping. ![]() I purchased the OBDlink device from Amazon and used my discover card. This could lead to more serious issues causing a trip to the dealership, and being charged tons of money. I felt that the PCM could possibly corrupt if the bluetooth lost connection during the programming phase. I just did not trust using a bluetooth when messing with the security system. There are many different ones that are bluetooth, and they are less then 10 dollars, but I choose the OBDlink-Sx because it was a direct connect to the USB and PCM. The Forscan team emailed me back and suggested that I use the OBD2 devices that were tested and posted on their website. I opened my elm327 and it did not have the correct chip. Some knock off elm327 will work on Fords, but it must have the right chip. This was confirmed when I checked the tracking delivery schedule.I guess this is a scheme that is being used now, so others beware of these tactics. ![]() The seller lied and was not from the United States but from China. The log was diagnosed and it was determined that my elm327 was a knock off from China. I contacted the Forscan team and sent them a copy of my log file. I plugged it into Forscan and it was recognized, but would not communicate with my explorer. The buyer advertised that he or she was from New Jersey and shipped it out to me within 2 days. Number 4, I originally bought one of those elm327 from ebay. Hope this information is helpful and remember to never leave your spare key with your ex-wife. The instructions are so easy that a monkey could be trained to do this process. I followed the instructions and process provided on their website and programmed 3 keys within 15 minutes. Their basic software will not work so you have to email them asking for an upgrade software key. The module connected to my 03 Explorer instantly without any problems using the windows version software provided by Forscan. ![]() I purchased an OBDLink SX for 18.00 on Amazon using a discount coupon. This saved me from going to the dealership and spending $400.00. I just wanted to shout out to Forscan for allowing me to use their upgraded software for programming 3 PAT keys.
