Transponder Coding - Possible With Emergency Key?

[jonny_bravo]

Morning Everyone,.

 

First post!,.   became the owner of a 2005 Galaxy Ghia 130 last night,. so naturally the next step with any car is to join the relevant owners forum !

 

After a panic not being able to start the car this morn,. realised that the previous owner has lost the chip from one of the keys,.   I can see I can pick up a new chip for little cost online.

 

My question is,.  I have one other working key plus the plastic emergency key -  does the emergency key count as one of the two required for additional key coding?

 

Or am I best leaving it to a dealer to sort (luckily I have a good friend who is a Ford Service manager,. so hopefully get it coded at mates charges )

 

Thanks for looking

 

Jon

I may be wrong but i am sure the emergencey key only has the cut code on it to get a key cut to use the locks, dont quote me on this but im sure u need at least 2 transponder keys to programme any other  by using the car.

I think you will find that if the emergency key will start the car you will be able to use it as one of the keys to program a new key for the immobiliser.

Thanks for the advice, the emergency key does start the engine, so I guess I am good to give it a go. I'll order myself a new chip
