Any hookups on PATS keys?

[JC316]

I need to get some keys made for my lot cars and they are the fucking PATS keys. Getting them copied is being a pain in my ass, either they can't do it, or they are insane on the pricing. Anyone know someone on the east side of dallas that can program these things without raping me to the tune of $150+?

If you have 2 keys and are wanting to program a 3rd or more keys, you can do it your self

I don't. It's a single key for both of the fords that I have.

Last pats key blank I bought was years ago, gave @ 7 bucks on ebay. I was able to program it myself, 97 only needed 1 working key best I remember, after the local key cutter cut it.

Unfortunately, both of the ones I need done are 2000's and you need two keys to do it. Good info for 98 and down though.

Howardkeys.com for the blanks.

Was at our local Wal-Mart in the auto section, I saw where they have transponder key blanks and can cut the keys now. They had a machine that would read your old key and several choices of blanks to choose. I said (damn) I run a repair shop and hate having to get the fords reprogram for key replacement and now you can get that shit at Wal-Mart. I think the sign said like 49.95 for the keys.

My wal mart does to, but it's a crap shoot on what they can cut. They can do it for the mountaineer, but can't on the mustang.

Wound up going to Rockwall walmart to get the mountaineer key and went to the ford house for the Mustang. $60 at walmart and $120 at ford.
