 I had the same issue with a 01 f-150 a couple of months ago I followed all of ede65 suggestions and could not get my maxysis pro to program the key I had to take it to a local locksmith where he did it with a advance diagnostic key programmer-turned out maxisys pro can't do the older pats systems

  Thanks for confirming the fact that the Autel forum moderators keep trying to bury like a cat turd.

My local locksmith does not have the equipment to program new keys into PATS, but will clone keys for $65 each.  Getting different keys at a dealership to initiate the built in "Customer Spare Key" function is a costly option I'd rather avoid for 2 trucks.  As well, I frequently work with a used car dealer (the reason I bought a MS908P) and would rather buy equipment to fill in the gaps where the MS908P is defunct.

If I was still doing locksmith work the Advance Diagnostics would probably be the way to go, but it is a touch pricey as I would mainly use it as a dust collector.  Some asshole mentioned the T300, but Ford is not even in its vehicle list.  Has anyone had luck programming Ford keys into pre 2003 PATS systems with the CK-100?

 I don't have any personal experience with the ck-100 but ede65 has spoken highly of it in the past

Few things sandblast my balls as much as tools that don't have any hope of working.  That's why I am a Harbor Freight fan -- their tools work GREAT! ......but they only work once, so always buy enough spares of that cheap shit to finish the job.

Thanks a ton ede!  Again, good luck!
