Lost Key Fob
I already lost one of the keyless fobs for my 2012 Explorer. I am curious about the cost of a replacement and also wondering if the aftermarket has equivalents available. Any ideas or inputs?

Costs more like $135. Then reprogram both keys per owner's manual.

Problem is you need two programmed keys to program another one. You only get two with the new car.
Best insurance I have found is buy a new OEM Blank as soon as possible and program as a 3rd key yourself. Total cost $75 for the OEM blank on E-bay. Then if and when you loose one, you still have two keys to program another new one. As long as you have only one key, it is a dealer job and costs accordingly. __________________ 2011 Base 100A Explorer, Export, 4WD, Select Shift, Tow, Appearance Package In America's Caribbean Paradise - Keep Left Other current rides: 2007 Pontiac  Solstice; 2002 Dodge Dakota 4x4Notable past rides: 1961 MB  190D; many Volvos 1967 to 76; 1970 Rover 3500s; 1970 BMW 2002Ti Euro-spec; 1976 Jensen  Interceptor III RHD 1988 Range Rover RHD; 1997 Ford F250  (Mexico version); 1997 Jeep TJ, 1989  Explorer

It is true you cannot self program a new fob unless you have two others functioning. I recommend buying a blank one somewhere other than the dealer and then taking it with your car to the dealer for programming. I had to do this when I bought my Mustang and it only came with one fob.
