Ford quoted me £20 for a copy key that will open the doors, however will not start the car. A coded Key will be £120?? Is there any where I can get one cheaper? After all is it not just an RFID tag inside the key?

The cost should include the labour necessary to recode the car to recognise the new key.
If you buy a coded key elsewhere, you'll still have to pay the Ford dealer to recode the car. To keep the car secure, only the dealers are allowed to do this. If anyone could recode the car, there would be no point in having an immobiliser fitted, and we'd all pay in higher insurance costs.

The 4th guy down is correct even though he got a thumbs down.Locksmiths can encode keys.Most locksmiths do not have this type of equipment but some do.Call a local locksmith or at least a big outfit of some kind.How do you think repo men are able to start cars when they take them?? They sure as heck dont go asking for the keys!!

There is no other place to get a coded key but at the dealer. That is to stop copy fraud

You can only get a coded key from the dealer. I had to pay £135 for mine to be replaced.

Unfortunately, you have to get chipped keys from the dealership, and yes they're quite expensive.
