Tips to Program 2016 up Ford Explorer All Keys Lost by Autel IM608

 Several mistakes were made during this process but still can learn from it. 2016 Ford Explorer all smart keys lost done by Autel IM608. Belongs to car lot. Ordered 1 key for it. Fought active alarm and failed. Made 2 chirps then next step would set it off again. Seen a bcm read option so I pull it and getting ready to open it up I see the key code on sticker. I previously did not think it had the key pad but after looking again I see it in pillar very well hidden. Lol. Put it all back together and use keypad to deactivate and it works. So now onto programming key. Seen 4 keys and decide to do akl. (I know now) learned right in perfectly but now says it need 2 keys to finish. I looked through my truck and find a different ford smart key that reads same transponder but it’s locked. Throw it in slot and added a key. It went through the process but then said it failed. I backed out and looked and it said there was 2 keys. Sure enough. It closed out. Starts runs and drives with no issues.

BTW: Those keys are reusable. And they are the same keys just look different.  They work from 2016 and up.

Fords if you do AKL procedures you will need to add 2 keys, you could have just chosen add key then would have only need 1 key. Also you said you heard the 2 chirps then started to add key and alarm sounded again next time just continue to add key, that is how it worked for me. I did the deactivate alarm, I heard 2 chirps then started to add key, alarm sounded but I just went through the process then the key was added and alarm stopped.
