you might be able to get some from the dealer, but other than that I would think a locksmith would be able where you could get a set. I don't know that they could do ignition sets, but I've never dealt with them before, so you never know

Tow the car to the dealer and they'll fab you a key but they will also charge you for labor on finding the right key plus the 60$ for the pats.

I always had a spare non fob'd key at home so if it ever happened I could just give them my VIN and the key and been done with it.

I think some Stealerships will drive out to the car to and find the correct key needed for more $$.

dont go to a locksmith, they can make you a key that will open the door but will not start your car. ive dealt with this this twice since both stangs i bought had only one key. apparently,even if you have one key, to make a 2nd one its still going to be around $80, thats was what i paid for my cobra, in VA, and $75 for my gt in AZ. it requires the key to be reprogrammed buy ford.

i have a copy key of my original, but it don't start the car. I've seen keys on ebay for around 10$ that can be programed.

well, either way, this is why I have two sets of keys for my car, that way I don't have to worry about it. Well I still worry about it, but worst case scenario, I don't have to go without the ability to start my car

Take our key to a ford dealership with your vin... It's the only way to do it right without getting a tuner to turn off your PATS /no discussion
