Ford Fiesta Key Fob

Hi!

I hope someone can help! I have a Ford Fiesta 55 plate 2005 model, 3 door Diesel. I have the spare key, but have not been given the main key fob with electic central locking when purchasing the car. I know there is no chance of the original falling into the wrong hands so am not worried about the programming of the fob, but at the same time I've given up hope of getting the original! Whats the best thing for me to do?! Hope someone can point me in the right direction!!!

    Maybe I'm being dumb but I'm not sure exactly what you're asking!:D

    It should be possible to take your documents to a main dealer and having a 'fob' programmed.
  • Try your local locksmith they can supply you with a new remote control key and program it for you to match your spare key/car, some don't need to see the car they will just read the info from the key you have. It will cost about the same as taking the car to a dealer, having a new key supplied,cut and programmed, about £120!
