Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you need any programmed remote to start off with. You just need to program all the remotes you want to use (up to a maximum of six) at the same time.

You may be right. The owners manual is not very specific on that.

Does anybody read prior posts?

or

Better yet, the Owners Manual?



You can consider the following to be 100% confirmed. Irrefutable. No contention. No guesswork. It's in the Owners Manual



If it isn't covered below, you don't need it. Pure and simple. The BOLD & UNDERLINED stuff is all you need.
Programming a Remote: you only need 1 key that is programmed to the car. Then just have all the remotes you wish to program on hand at the time of programming. Very simple. Takes maybe 1 minute at max to perform.

Programming a Key: You must have 2 keys that are programmed to the car. Take your 2 prior programmed keys, then any extras you wish to program. Follow the procedure. Takes about 2 minutes at max to perform.
If you only have 1 programmed key, you will have to visit a Ford Dealership...or a Locksmith to get a 2nd key programmed




This isn't rocket science people. These points have been covered
MANY TIMES
before...and I did so already once in this thread.





To further clarify a few points about the Fusion key.
1. It only works in 2007+ Mustangs.
2. It will not work in a 2005-2006
3. The remote function of the key functions perfectly, and exactly like the normal style remote.
4. The key portion fits the ignition perfectly without any modifications needed.
5. Looks pretty cool IMO, and really cleans up the whole key/remote tangle

Holy crap.
Here we go again.
RTFM
The owners manual is located in the glove compartment.
It FULLY explains the key/remote programming procedure and rules.
I can drive it but can read the owners manual.
There should be a test on the owners manual before the
stealership can give just anyone the keys to a newfangled S197.

Key Programming — Additional Key With One Programmed Key
NOTE: This procedure is used when a customer needs to have an additional key programmed into the vehicle without erasing stored key codes, but does not have 2 programmed keys available. This procedure is also useful when attempting to determine if an ignition key is defective, as a new key can be installed without erasing keys or without having 2 programmed keys available.
the only way to program another key with just 1 key is by plugging it in to the Worldwide Diagnostic System computer and reprogramming, this way it will not erase the code to your hidden key.

Key Programming — Program a Key Using Two Programmed Keys
if you have to programmed keys available then you can program additional keys without taking it to the dealer.
NOTE: This procedure works only if 2 or more programmed ignition keys are available and additional programmed key(s) are desired.

if you can find your hidden key you can program additional keys yourself and save about $110.00 for programming which is what our service department charges.

Insert a programmed ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position (maintain the ignition switch in the RUN position for 3 seconds, but not longer than 10 seconds).
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the first key from the ignition lock cylinder.
Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the OFF position, insert a second programmed ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position (maintain the ignition switch in the RUN position for 3 seconds, but not longer than 10 seconds).
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the second key from the ignition lock cylinder.
Within 20 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the OFF position, insert the unprogrammed ignition key (new key) into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position (attempt to start the vehicle).
If additional programmed key(s) are desired, repeat the key programming procedure.
