Getting a new ignition and door lock set for my s3 xr8,can a normal locksmith do the new key coding or do I need to take it to fraud?
Long story short my door and ignition keys are different and I only have one ignition key,if I lose it im cactus. I found info on how to code to an existing key but not how to code two new keys that are unknown to the bcm. cheers |

Get an ELM327 cable for around $10 and FORScan for free and you can code keys yourself.

I have to get my door lock cut/modified to suit the keys so easier for the locksmith to do the lot.

The locksmith will be able to get the key cutting code from Ford Australia. You give the locksmith the car VIN and he gets the code from Ford. The key blank then gets put into his cutting machine. He enters the code and the machine cuts the key to match the car.

You'll need a laptop to run FORScan. I use Windows 7, running on my Apple MacBook Pro using Parallels (ie that's the software that runs Windows from within Mac OS X).
