2014 Fiesta remote

5tumpy · 29-10-2014, 06:17 AM

Hey All,

Bought the wife a Fiesta Ambiente about 2 months ago, but it only came with one remote, which really, really irritates me...

Already have the key, so just wondering if I can get a remote like from a BF or similar and train it to work with her car, or do I have to get the whole kit and kaboodle, cut reprogrammed etc?

I've got a remote from my Dad's old BF ute, can I train it and not have a boot release button?

dont think you can get another ford model to train /link it

if you can ..... I cant find the procedure anywhere

any car you would have though should have come with two
time to approach the nearest ford dealer- sales or spare parts and ask the hard questions

you must be talking a fob

if a fob
that may have to be programmed to the remote central locking module controller with a scanner

if remote is in the key you can get a key cut and programmed no problem (locksmith )

Yeah, I'm talking about the remote for the central locking, what other "remote" could I possibly be talking about mate? I am aware that I can go to a locksmith and pay $200 for them to do it for me, but my question was if I can train a remote from another car to the module... There is a procedure in the manual for training remotes, but I'm not sure if there is a specific frequency that Fiestas use or if any Ford remote will do the job...

Thanks for clarifying guys, this is what I got too... Do you guys just put up with only having one remote?

Pretty much... but it is only me driving the thing 99.9% of the time. If it needs to be moved by someone else they just use the key while i keep the remote.

See my wife has the remote but I drive when we're together, she won't let me unlock the car with the key because I might scratch the car, but she complains about having to dig the keys out of her bottomless pit of a handbag, lol... Women, right?

All Falcon remotes from BA work on the same frequency (433Mhz). WT fiesta's list the FG remote as the replacement for the flip key remote.
So in short, if you can find the programming procedure, then yes it will work.
Youtube is your friend.
