None, really. You will need a new PATS key cut and then programmed.

Unfortuneatly not, dealer can use the VIN to get a new key but it still needs to be programmed...or does it? I don't think all new edge mustangs use that PATS system do they?

well its 75 a piece for the keys.256 for me with keyless entry. you can program the entry yourself if you don't have it, if they program it, $80. your insurance may have towing up to a certain mileage if you have full coverage. that will take care of that, or cut it in half maybe. heard of lock smiths doing it, alot will compete with a price, then just have to get programmed. i lost my on a plane from hawaii to houston. rough week, feel your pain.

I suggest you get 3. You cannot program a copy unless you have 2 working keys (great plan Ford )

If you loose a new one of the 3, then you you should get another made while you still have the ability. I think you can get the blanks on line for around $25. Once cut, you can program the third yourself per the owners manual. (What a rip.)
