I saw again, ONLY the dealer has the ability to program your remotes. You can do the keys (as long as you have 2), but ONLY the dealer has the capability to program the remotes.

Currently the LS is the only Ford that cannot be done yourself.LS4me said:

I don't have an LS but what's the secret behind the programming? What does the dealer use? Is it that the car doesn't have the ability to read and program a blank key?

unlike most other Fords where you can switch the ignition from off-to-on 10 times and reprogram the wireless entry system - in the LS the dealer must use the Ford PCM programer and add them through the menu options.Jibit said:
blank key are a totally different question - since the theft system reads the 'chip' in the key it also requires programming.

right - you can purchase them all over the place - but you cannot add them to the car - only the dealer can. and you have to bring ALL your units - because you 'flush' the car's memory then add all the units.pragmatic said:

I'm not a dealer and I can program these remotes.
I'm in East Tennessee. It may be worth a trip to visit me if you're not very far away.
But I have an NGS (next generation star scanner) which is the scan tool that ford/licoln/mercury uses/requires.
I can also add extra keys if you only have one or have lost all your keys (for those vehicals equiped with PATS)

I know the 2004 model you can do the reogramming yourself, I programmed one from eBay. The manual describes the procedure. I guess the non programmable remotes must be for earlier models, don't know what years tho.
Wish I could say the same about programming keys when you only have one.
Good Luck,

:iconcur:
early model stuff (around 97) you only have to have one key, anything past that is going to require 2, just a safety thing really... keep people from loaning their car to someone and that person making a key (i.e. vallet)
but when you have an NGS it's not a problem

All Lincoln LS's from 2000 to 2002 have to have the remotes programmed by someone with a NGS Tester. That's normally the dealer. In 2003, Ford changed that system and you can add a remote yourself by following the procedure in the owner's manual. This also applies to adding one of Ford's add-on keypads. They are nothing more than a remote.
Disclaimer: It may be 2004 when it changed...but I think it's 2003.
