I have a base model 2007 F150 XL V6. I would like to purchase this key but wanted to know if I would need 2 programmed keys in order for this to work?

Not sure about your '07, but for my '05 F150 FX4 5.4L TRITON V8, I had only 1 programmed key & was not able to program this key myself. Like Brian, I took it to a hardware store & had it cut, made sure it would work on the door, and then took it to a locksmith & they were able to program it for me. So, although I had to pay for the locksmith programming, in total, it was cheaper as this key via Amazon was cheaper than had I bought a key from the locksmith or dealership.Basically, I agree w/ Brian.

You need two keys to do it yourself otherwise you will need an automobile locksmith or dealer to do it for you. However, this key is still a good deal even if you plan to go to a dealer since a dealer will charge you $75-$100 for a new key and an additional $50-$100 to program it. When I got mine, I just took it to a local hardware store to have it cut and programmed it myself (since I had both original keys). If you have only one working key, go ahead and get this one, get it cut, and then take it to a dealer or locksmith for programming. At least you will only pay the dealer for the programming instead of paying for both the key and programming. Your savings should be about 50% over getting the actual key from the dealer.

Yes. The keys can only be programmed at home, by you, if you have two working keys already. Otherwise, you will need to have the key programmed by the dealer or by a locksmith. Hope this helps.

Requires a second key to program(this would need to be your third). If not a locksmith or dealer is required.

Yes, no extra key needed...It uses pass key 2....use the 4 wire plug, included with kit to hook to the 3 wires in the steering column. Those are black, yellow and orange or white. DO NOT use the black wire....if you need help, email me at jeffpete1977@gmail.com

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.

yes, process requires the 2 to program the third, else a trip to the dealer is required. As for what the dealer does to get around it to my knowledge is classified but maybe the ford blog site might have that info on what to do if you do not have the 2 keys. Bull__it information should never be held captive but good luck.

The original key will still work after you program the new key. Be sure to follow the included instructions so your vehicle accepts both keys.

Unfortunately you can't you have to take it to a dealership or call a locksmith to program it� I try to do it for my Ford and it didn't i had to spend more money but it was cheaoer than getting the key directly fron the dealership for sure!

The easy way to do it is take the key you bought to the dealership. They will program it for about fifty dollars. Cheapest way to go.

Yes, it does. I programmed a key last week and it worked for my 2006 tacoma. I have some instructions if needed as you may not receive any instructions or they may be more confusing than help. I bought 2 spare keys, but as mentioned earlier, you can only have 2 master keys programmed. I did try to get both the spares I bought along with the master key I already had but only 2 masters can be programmed.

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.

If you only have one electronic key for your vehicle, then the electronic key would have to be programmed by a dealership. However if you have two electronic keys then use can program a third by yourself. The actual door key which slides out should be interchangeable between electronic keys. Hope this helps.
