From the manual I got with mine, yes. You will more than likely need a key bypass. The seller of mine was absolutely no help, I purchased mine for a 2011 E350, the instructions had nothing to do with my vehicle....and long story short, I didn't need the bypass in the end. If you're not familiar with electronics and wiring for automotive, I'd avoid the hassle and let someone install it.

Hi, this is a complete package, you will not need any additional components, your 05 Escape requires a transponder bypass, which is included. This system is made to operate off the factory remote, and will work off any remote that currently works with the vehicle. The only time that both keys are needed is during the programming of the bypass, and after that you will retain both keys.

Yes , You can program more than 2 keys it need only 1 part , I think you have your own device in your car but here it different we don't have in our car , because of different country , US cars different than Saudi Arabia cars

Also as stated in someone else answer you need 2 that is not true. They only needed one key to program after it was cut.

I bought this one as a second set of keys for my ford fusion 2010. It worked perfect but you have to go to a dealer to get it programmed since you need two original keys to program it your self.

Don't know if this helps...I installed mine on a 2005 Ford Escape and it worked.

The electronics will work to open the door and you can move the electronics for that from one key to another. However, there are apparently other electronics/settings associated with the key itself and you have to get it cut and programed to actually be able to also start the car with it.

Two fobs.If you have them (fobs) it is very easy to program a new one. If not, you will need to go to a dealer (or locksmith) and have your fobs reprogramed. I was fortunate. One of my fobs was broke but I could still get it to work. Hope you do too.

Yes u can program up to 4 remotes per unit. Remote start systems can be for any vehicle but keep in mind about the factory security system that comes with the vehicle you might need a BYPASS MODULE For the remote start to work! As an installer myself, the module that will go with that system, depending on the brand in my experience i would stick with either FLashlogic or idatalink or omega link! These 3 brands are awsome when it come to bypass modules. The module is called FLDL1 or FLDL FOR YOUR VEHICLE. But if i may suggest for almost the same price i would go with the keyless remotestart which is model number 4103 and use all in 1 keyfob that does the lock and unlock off of one remote then instead of carrying 2 keyfobs with you! Just a suggestion!

You will not be able to program the key itself without a 2nd working/programmed key. Use a locksmith a locksmith instead of the Stealership. Their charge was $70 for they key/key cutting/programming, or 60 for same if I brought one in off the internet. Seemed like a no brainer, the entire process took 10/15 minutes. Stealership wanted 160, so it was less than half price.

If you want a Valet key (one to just open the doors, but not to start the vehicle with you can go to a local hardware store or possibly WalMart if they still cut keys for vehicles. If you want a key that will actually start your vehicle (one that has has a transponder interlock or a "chip"), you will be best served by going to the dealer and paying to have it cut an programmed. Usually you will need two working keys to begin with, some may only require one. there is a possibility that you can get into programming mode and DIY, but I haven't found a way to do that.

On my 2002 ford explorer I had to get in my car from the drivers side close the door turn the igniton but do not start do fast 8 times within 10 sec ending in the on position the doors will lock and unlock turn key to off position click any button on the remote it should work. My ford will only program 2 remotes not 4 as some people have said.

I think there were 3 different keys made the ones with the g the ones with the dot and the ones with nothing at all. You have to use the same style as what the original key is or it will not work on the car.

I had one key and bought this. If you have two programmed keys, then you can do it yourself (youtube) If you only have one good key, then you will need to go to the dealer.

That's correct, the key will open the door locks and even allow the ignition to turn but won't let the vehicle start. With only one key you'll have to get a dealer or authorized center to program the new key. Once you have two you can program additional keys your self in the car.

Yes, I have used it on two keys. I think you can program as many keys as the car you're programming them on will allow.

There is a function key that will allow you to program the remote for two different units. They aren't the easiest to install...there is a lot of work involved also depends on model of car because many now need bypass pieces installed.

Well lets see if I can remember. It's been awhile since I've done this. 1.) Place key in ignition.2.) turn Ignition switch on and off 10 times. (Don't start) Just to accessory position.3.)You will hear the door locks lock and unlock.4.) Then within 5 seconds press any button on the remote.5.) That's it..... should work. 6.) If you have 2 remotes you will need to press a button on both of them at the same time frame I think.I hope this works. Like I said it's been awhile. Good luck!

Mine did,but having 2 factory keys would have made it much easier. I only had 1 so I had to go to a professional and it cost a little more.
