I have done some reading in the forums on PATS as my Explorer only came with one key. It seems I need two in order to program - or go to Ford (or a Locksmith with a programmer) to have the second one made.
Google led me to an interesting article on wiping the stored PATS keys in the computer and setting a new key as the master, then adding a second key in WITHOUT going to the dealership...

Under "On-Board Programming Method "B"" within the above link leads one to believe it can be done.
Has anyone tried this?
