Matthew Trepczyk Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I can't get my 2013 edge to program keys. I went through the procedure multiple times with no success. I went to the dealer and they couldn't do it either. They finally got by using their scan tool and forcing the car to program but they didn't know why they had to do that. Well that doesn't help me. I need it to go into programming mode. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Did you verify that both keys still work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Trepczyk Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Both keys worked prior and still work now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 So, I'm confused. Where they fixed? Do you have keyless entry? Did you try to program the key (pats) or the fob buttons (two separate programming methods). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Trepczyk Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Okay lets start over. I have the two original keys with fobs for the car. I wanted to install an aftermarket remote start. To finish programming the remote start the vehicle needs to be put into the key programming mode which it won't do. To figure out whether or not it was a remote start problem I decided to have a 3rd standard key made for the car. When I and the dealer tried to program that key, the car would not do it with the standard procedure that is in the owners manual. The dealer had to force the car into program mode with their scan tool to program the 3rd key with no fob. They also didn't know why they had to do it that way. So until I can get the car into key programming mode I can't program other keys or my remote start. The process I need to work is the one that programs the chip in all keys whether it has a fob or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 You still didn't answer the question - did you verify that both of the original keys are still able to start the vehicle? If one of the keys no longer works for some reason that would explain why the procedure didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Trepczyk Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Sorry. As far as I can tell and the dealer can tell they are both original keys and they both work. Also the dealer did a master reset on both keys to make sure that the car didn't know the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

normkol Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 This is a remote (pun not intended) possibility. If one of the keys is not original and is a clone of the other, the car will see them as the same, instead of two different keys, and not go into programming mode. Are you the original owner of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an excellent point and exactly why I don't recommend using a locksmith to program a second key because some do simply clone the first key which will lead to exactly the situation described here.

Matthew Trepczyk Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 The dealer reprogrammed the keys to make sure one was not a clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The locksmith should tell you if he is cloning or programming. If he doesn't come out to your car, he is cloning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
