I did a search here and on Google but without much success.

I've got a 2013 XLT with the In-Synch, etc. I also have two factory keys.

With my old 2005 Sport Trac I bought a replacement key online. The local locksmith cut the key and I took it into my Trac and did a routine of key insertions, multiple times turning the car on with keys, patting and rubbing tummy, etc. to program it to work.

Can't be sure any of the companies offer keys like that which would be compatible with my XLT. Any input appreciated, thanks.
 






The instructions are in your manual on how to program them. You need both programmed keys with you to program the 3rd.
