[QUOTE="Clevor1, post: 14410325, member: 154752"] Lesson learned: get spare keys cut before you lose them. I had 4 spare keys cut for my 2013 GT Premium, but only the first 2 have all the buttons functioning. That's the limit from the factory and the car's computer will keep track. The last two keys I had made has all the buttons, but they don't work, but they start the car. I programmed them all myself using the directions in the owner's manual. The reason I had so many keys cut is I wanted to hide one underneath the car, and I didn't want to use the OEM Ford blanks with all the buttons working, in case the key box falls off the car. I found the generic blanks on Ebay or Amazon are not as good as the OEM Ford blanks. If you shop around the internet, you can find the genuine Ford blanks for around $80-110. I found the generic stuff had smaller icons on the keys so harder to see, or button pads were combined and not one pad per button, etc. Be careful who you buy the blanks from. some vendors won't accept returns if the plastic bag is opened. Good luck getting somebody qualified to cut them. Most the established keys shops in my area won't cut keys unless you buy the blanks from them. I stormed out of more than one place. I found a rogue locksmith, somewhat high tech, who would cut them for maybe $35, but he was trying to get established. You can try the high school dropout working at Lowes or Home Depot, but if the key don't work you will have to eat the cost of the blank. At that point, all they will try to do is file the burrs off the cut area to get it to turn in the ignition. [/QUOTE]
