habz Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 Hello everyone. I have just bought a Ford Galaxy 2002 (51 reg) 1.9TD Diesel Red car. I only received the V5 logbook, MOT with it. I also received ONE key (pictures are attached of the current key I have). I beleive it is the spare key. At the moment, everytime I use the car, I have to manually lock/unlock the car, which is very annoying as I should be able to do it remotely by clicking a button on the key. So I need a replacment key. Now because I have never had the original key for the car, I am totally confused at what key I should have, what frequancy and with what buttons. I found this on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290785423972 (5WK4 790/97/98 - 433.92MHz). Am I looking at the right key?If so, what do I do to program this key to lock/unlock my car?Can somebody point me in the right direction? Thank You, Habz Quote
Phil yer boots Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 I only received one when I got my Galaxy so bought a fob from ebay and got a new key cut and coded to start car but you need to program both fobs at same time search on forum you will find out how to do it.Phil Quote

chrispb123456 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 So is the link I provided to the eBay ad the right one?I have a 52 reg and that is the same as mine Quote
habz Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Posted October 23, 2012 What do you mean by "both at the same time"? I would think that the key I have does not have a chip in it, since it has no buttons?? Quote
big_kev Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 It will have a chip in it, they all do Quote
SilverBeast Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 The Passive Anti Theft (PAT) chip in it is for the immobiliser. If you buy a second hand one make sure it has the PAT chip as you won't be able to start the car until this has been programmed to the car. The remote buttons just lock/unlock and arm/disarm the alarm. Quote
habz Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Posted October 23, 2012 One last question, is there any fob available which lets you simply lock/unlock the car remotely? As I dont mind using the key I already have to start the engine, I just dont like entering the key to lock/unlock the car every friggin time. Thanks, All help/replies MUCH appreciated!! Quote
