How to get a new car key made?
I bought a 2006 Ford taurus used about 6 months ago. It did not have an original key but it has a remote start system and a spare key without a chip that I can turn the ignition to the on position to drive the car. Recently I've been having trouble with the remote start/car alarm that was installed but I took the car to a dealership and they said they could not make me a working key because they did not know what the car was programmed to with this after market alarm/remote start. Is there a way to find out? I know the guy I bought it from said the chip was in the car so it could start and there's this thing on the visor that looks like it could be it.
Added (1). Also They said removing and and then getting a key they could not guarantee would work
Contact a COMPETENT dealer, or even a competent locksmith. An minimum, they should be able to get the FACTORY specs from Ford, and program a new key by UNPLUGGING the aftermarket system. IF they can't get specs from BOTH Ford AND the aftermarket manufacturer to allow them to properly program both, I wouldn't trust them to check the air in the tires.
Note: Any SEMI-Qualified locksmith will LAUGH at liverhyen2003. 'His' method is nothing more than following the MANUFACTURER'S instructions available online.
- Lost my only key to my car. It's an 02 ford taurus station wagon and has a chip in the key? Ordered and blank key. Going to get it cut then have it programmed. I have an extra key that will unlock my doors but won't start the car because it doesn't have a chip and isn't programmed for my car. Can I use my key that unlocks the door to get it cut and then use my vin to have them program it?
- Can i get out of a ford lease early? Or get a new car early? After my 2004 GTO broke down, i was forced to lease a 2014 Focus, for 3 years and had to get extended miles. Its been about 5 months since i've had the car and so far i hate it. Slow, cheaply made, stereo is terrible, no traction in winter, i don't like it at all. Is there any chance of getting out of the lease early or turning it in without hurting my credit, or even turning it in to lease a different car. Possibly a truck or taurus. Has anyone else been in this situation?

- I have a Ford F150. I'm thinking about going to walmart and get a key copy, and it has a chip. Will the key they provide me start the car? It's a 2007 model by the way. It has a chip on the key, and I was wondering if the cloned car key they give me be able to start the car up.
