2X Key Fob Remote for 1998-2014 Ford (CWTWB1U345)

The first set I got of these, one did not work. On this set, both worked just great. And you can't beat the price. I used these on a 2007 Ford Focus SE. This was a standard car. How I did it? Simple. Got into the car. Put seatbelt on (I don't know if the seatbelt was necessary, but I didn't want to take chances) Put my ignition in the On position first (The position where the power comes on, but the car isn't cranking. Then, I twisted the key four times, very quickly. I heard a beep, which told me the car was in program mode. I hit a button (doesn't matter what button, any one will do) on the first remote I wanted to program and heard a beep. then the second, then the third, and the fourth. Then I tested all four remotes I had. All of them worked. Things to keep in mind: You have to turn the key rapidly, but it isn't impossible to do. I'm 55 and I have arthritis in my right hand, and I had no problem You need to twist the key four times. You have to hear the beeps after you're done turning the key in the ignition, this tells you that you're in "Programing mode." As you hit each remote, you will hear a beep which means the remote was programed. No beep, not programed. Test remotes inside and outside of the vehicle. You have to do all remotes you want to work at the same time. Meaning, if you have two remotes programed and then you decide you need another remote, you will have to reprogram the first two along with the third. I have been told four remotes are the maximum. I haven't tested this theory, because all I need are four remotes. The local ADAP and NAPA stores charge fifty dollars for these remotes. If you break the top part (where you put it on your keychain) which happens, they charge 15-20 dollars for just a replacement case. Two remotes for 11 dollars? You can't go wrong with that. Oh yes, they also include a "registration" card that you can register your remotes online. Then, you can attach the card to your keychain with your remote. (this card looks like one of those "Loyalty" cards that stores use) and if your keys are lost, someone only needs to drop it in any mailbox and the keys will be returned to the company, who I assume, will then return them to you . That's a pretty nice feature.

I bought these key fobs for my 2003 Ford Taurus since one key and key fob had been lost. I followed the QR instructions exactly, but neither fob would program to my car despite several attempts. When I looked online again (ignoring the QR code instructions), I found additional information (hitting the unlock button on the driver's side door once in the car with the doors closed), and an emphasis on SPEED (I had not been working fast enough). To program the key fobs for a 2003 Ford Taurus: 1. Only open the driver's side door. 2. Get in the car, close the door and insert key in the ignition (necessary because you are going to have to work FAST once you start). 3. Put ALL of the key fobs (even ones that are already programmed) in your lap since running the programming sequence will reset any key fobs that are already programmed. 4. On the driver's door, hit the unlock door button. 5. IMMEDIATELY after unlocking the doors, turn the key from OFF to RUN (without starting the engine) EIGHT TIMES in less than 10 seconds ending up with the ignition in the RUN position (again without starting the engine). 10 seconds is a LOT shorter than you think, so do this as FAST as you can. 6. Your car should then chime and the door locks will cycle through locking and unlocking over and over again. 7. As soon as the door locks start cycling, press one of the buttons on each of the key fobs you want to program. I took turns with the three I had (one original and these two replacements) pressing each of the buttons on the key fob (unlock, lock, trunk, panic). Pressing the buttons didn't unlock/lock doors, open trunk or set off the horn. The door locks kept cycling through lock and unlock. 8. Once I opened the driver's side door, the locks stopped cycling, and all three key fobs were programmed. They lock and unlock the doors, open the trunk, and set off the panic horn and lights.

Works

Shipped fast, decent quality (almost OEM quality), Batteries included! but the big letdown here was the INSTRUCTIONS! they give you a business card with a website to go on to look up the procedure for programming, not a big deal. The instructions for programming were incomplete and therefore wrong! had to google it to find out! I have a 2007 Ford Focus SE 4dr (North American/Gen1.5) and the procedure is as such: •Close all doors, foot off brake, car in park. Gather ALL remotes you wish to use with the car, INCLUDING currently programmed remotes! •Insert key into ignition, rotate to run, and then off 4 times (run position is where the key returns to after starting the car, DO NOT START THE CAR) do this in 6-10 seconds •After the 4th on-off cycle, DO NOT LEAVE THE IGNITION ON! the car will beep at you from the instrument cluster, at this point, hit any button on each of the remotes you wish to program INCLUDING ANY PREVIOUS REMOTES YOU WISH TO CONTINUE USING. (the programming of remotes removes any previous programming to the car, all fords this remote is usable with are this way) •After each remote has one button pressed, the car will again beep from the instrument cluster to signal sucsessful pairing! •Complete programming by starting the car, and shutting it off at your convenience, and testing each remote (moving the key to run, or removing the key from the ignition did not seem to exit programming mode and the remotes did not work until AFTER starting the car and then shutting it off) The instructions from the website explicitly say to leave the ignition ON the 4th time, which will not let you program the remotes, and also do not mention that programming new remotes removes old remotes and thus they must be reprogrammed if you wish to use them! After i followed the instructions i googled, programed all the new remotes in around 45 seconds, easy as pie. GOOD INSTRUCTIONS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

I’ve replaced batteries in my wife’s auto key fob several times. I drive an older 2007 Mustang and mused two weeks ago about not having replaced the battery in my remote. Wouldn’t ya know, a few days later I found my remote refusing to open the door right away! Swapped out the battery, problem solved. Nope. A few days later the same thing happened. The fob is recently departed. I bought this remote and received fast delivery. Programming is easy. Turn the key to “ON”, but don’t start the engine. Cycle the key off/on 8 times in 10 seconds and touch any button on the remote. The door locks cycle to signal success. Two remotes? Do it again, pushing a button on the second remote. Door locks again herald success. I’m very happy with my new remote! Highly recommended! Addenda. First, mine came with battery installed, but within a month the battery ran out of juice. Who knows how long it had been waiting in a bin? I swapped in a new battery and have had no failures since. Second, the buttons are very sensitive. Just having the remote in my jeans pocket with two keys, it has managed to sound the horn alarm twice and pop open the deck lid several times. Find a dedicated place to leave your keys and use it unless you are about to use them. Other than these, I am still happy with my purchase.

I have a 2009 Ford Escape XLT I purchased from a used car lot that had 1 key but no remote. The factory key would have had a remote built into it with a transponder chip in the head however the key I have is just a regular non factory transponder chip key without the built in remote. I looked at the owner’s manual and compared the the factory key buttons to these. I was doubtful these remotes would work due to this fact but from the price I took a gamble. Programming was easy and successful. Now I have remote accessibility and didn’t even need to get a locksmith or dealer. Win win for me.

UPDATE 2022: Okay, so the second set of these FOBs I ordered has now lasted three years, including one battery replacement. Honestly, the first set got a lot more use than the second set as I haven't driven a lot during the Covid-19 pandemic, still I can say that these are definitely a cheap solution if you don't have the original car beepers. UPDATE 9 months later: Bummer. Both fobs seem to have died within two weeks of each other, one in late August and the other in early September. I'm investigating. There may be a problem with my car's rfid features but, so far, it appears to be the fobs… as one died and the battery from it worked fine in the other one. Now the other one has died too. Ugh. Have to get a new set of these to see if it's the fobs or my car. The original Ford fob seems to not be working either so there may be something else happening here. I've got good CR2032 batteries so that isn't the issue. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought a pair of these fobs for a 2002 Mustang GT and they were easy to program, only one key was necessary. The range is approximately 30-40 feet line-of-sight. All four buttons work just like the FoMoCo fob that came with the car. To program the fobs for the 02 Mustang GT, I had to quickly turn the ignition between off and on with the key 8 times. On the 8th time the locks on the car click once to indicate that programming mode had been entered to add fobs. At this point do not switch the ignition to off until you're done programming the fobs. On each fob to be programmed, press the lock button. That's it/they're now synced to the car. Turn the ignition off. It worked for both these fobs on the first try. A good, cheap car fob.

Bought these for a Ford Mustang and wanted the blue. Works as it should but it is very sensitive. If you even brush on the trunk button it opens it.

Nothing to dislike on this fob. Easy set up and no glitches since. Have had it for about 6 weeks. Does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Funciona bien.

Excelentes controles, los programe y ya estan funcionando al 100% con el automovil

Blue, quality case and buttons, programmed without a problem. 2005 Mustang. Easy to follow instructions.

Easy to program, both work as advertised. Very pleased.
