hmm go to your local shopping center they would do it do shop around also. Remote keys probably talk to the key cutter or your dealer i say

I hope that help

mister mint or people like that should be able to do it most likely round $30 i think that bout how much it cost me for my EL key (went looking to get a BA key done $150) So EH should be round $30 i think because it doesnt need a computer chip

shoe repairers or locksmiths do them ... u'll find either in you're local Shopping centre ... it's cut, with a laser, instead of file-ing *spelling* it down!!!

It's an XH not an EH lol so it is a smartlock key.

I though you had to buy the blanks because of the chip? Dunno never had to replace one yet.

xh ones don't have a chip in them, any good locksmith can do them
some will supply and cut the key for 25 some will only cut a key for 20
only ones with a chip are au2 onwards

Do NOT go to Mr Minit for keys. Mr Minit's keys are nowhere near as good as a proper locksmith's. We've had Minit keys and many times have broken off or worn down.

If it's for a car, go for quality and go for a locksmith. Many around.

When i got my 1st xr6 i had to get a spare, Ford wanted $110.00 thats for the head and the blank metal which i then had to have it duplicated, thank god hubby is a lockie.Got one through one of his locksmith suppliers then duplicated it for me..absolutely no where near $110.00..

EABF22053C is the ford part number for the key. It is $15.00 to buy and whatever a locksmith wants to charge you for cutting. The key is NOT a chip key.

Black head and a key"blank" $22.00. then you have to have it duplicated, may be another $20-$30.00..

I had one done for my EL by a Locksmith. I'd rate them the best & cheapest. It cost me about $20 at the time

Thanks
