- 2013 Explorer Limited
I know how to program a new remote for my 2013 Limited, and there is the requirement that you have two of the factory keys. My partner was able to program a second key for a 2011 F-150 he bought used, when he only had one key fob, because the truck also had Remote Start, and the Remote Start module counted as a second factory key.
Does anyone know if that is possible with the 2013 Explorer Limited? I not only have Remote Start, but I also have the Audiovox security system that can do everything the fob can from my Android phone. My guess is that, even if the factory Remote Start doesn't count as a key, the Audiovox system may, but I cannot be sure.
Which leads me to another question: Is there any harm in trying to program a new key without having both factory ones? Will I disable anything?
Lastly, are there any special requirements to getting the correct fob from places like Amazon or EBay? I was looking at this one, but there are less expensive options on EBay:
