FAQ:

I Lost my Ford Bronco car keys, have no spare and need a replacement. How and where can I get a replacement key?

Ford Bronco Lost Car Keys Replacement

Generally speaking, you have three options:

First, call an automotive locksmith that offers a mobile service for Ford Bronco cars. We can help you with that.
Second, tow the car to the dealer.
Third, order a key online and have the dealer or locksmith cut and program (if necessary) it for you.

Furthermore, depends on the type of key you had and year e.g. remote, intelligent fob, push to start, transponder or regular key you may have different options about how to get a new key made.

What should I tell the locksmith or dealer when I call for service?

First, make sure you have the exact year, make and model, e.g. 2020 Ford Bronco.

In addition, write down the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) of the car located on the left side of the dashboard near the mirror (Click here for more information). That would help the locksmith or dealer verifying the year, make and model of the car and the type of key you had.

Moreover, ask if you can come and pick up the key or the car has to be present. With older models, codes may not be available and therefore on-site service will be required to make a new key.

Alternatively, you can tow the car to the locksmith shop but that would be more expensive.

Finally, make sure you can show ownership of the car by having the necessary documents. The title, ID, insurance card, etc.

Q: Ford Bronco key replacement cost – How much does it cost to replace the Ford Bronco key without the original? What is the average price?

Price of cutting a new Ford Bronco key may vary

A: In short, to replace a Ford Bronco key usually cost between $80-$390. It depends on a few factors:

Type of key
The year manufactured
Time of day & your location
Where you get a key replacement (Dealer, automotive locksmith, online, etc.)
Availability of code to cut a new key
Original ignition or not

The type of key you had and the year the car was manufactured are maybe the most important factors (chip, intelligent fob, “push to start”, remote, regular “non-transponder” key). The newer the car is, the better security features the key had and therefore you can expect to pay more than $250 for a replacement key. Click here to see this model type of key you had for a more accurate price and information.

In addition, it depends on where you get a key replacement. The dealer, automotive locksmith or get it online. Click here to get a more detailed explanation.

The dealer usually charges about 10%-15% less than a locksmith would for the key. However, most chances you will have to tow the car there to program the new key or remote and therefore the total price is usually higher.

Furthermore, consider that if you are looking to have a locksmith to come out and make you a new key outside regular business hours, the price may go up.

Finally, in case your ignition cylinder was changed before (usually with older cars), that probably means that the code for the key may not be useful and the key will have to be either cut manually by a locksmith or to change the ignition again which in this case the dealer can’t be of help.

Q: Can I get a Ford Bronco key replacement by VIN?

A: That depends on the year of your car and the type of key you had.

The VIN allows the dealer or an automotive locksmith the option to access the key code on file, i.e. to cut you a replacement key by code which makes the process very fast and easy. There are however two things to consider:

For Ford Bronco vehicles that are older than 10 years: There are no codes available. Therefore, an automotive locksmith is your only option to get a replacement key.
For Ford Bronco vehicles that are equipped with a transponder system and/or remote/ intelligent key/ fob key: Codes are available. However, programming is necessary and therefore you will have to either tow the car to the dealer or have an automotive locksmith come and program the key on site.

Ford Bronco key programming – Which keys you can program yourself, which keys require programming tool & More

Ford has different types of keys. Some require programming and some don’t. All transponder chip keys and/or smart key fobs need to be programmed with a special programming machine that only an automotive locksmith or the dealer has. There is no need to program non-transponder metal keys.

To make things simple we divided all Ford keys into 2 categories:

No programming needed (Non-transponder keys)
Keys that needs to be programmed and you will need an automotive locksmith or the dealer (Transponder or remote keys)

No Programming needed

Ford Bronco Non-transponder keys are metal keys that have no chip in them and therefore no programming is needed:

1193FD/H67, S1167FD/H50, 1184FD/H54, 1167FD/H51.

Ford Bronco Keys that needs to be programmed and you will need an automotive locksmith or the dealer:

Car Key Programming Tool

These keys, also known as remote smart keys, intelligent keys or key fobs, as well as transponder keys, have a security chip in them and programming is needed. In addition, a special machine is needed to program them and therefore an automotive locksmith or dealer should do it for you (Usually for models made after 2008).

Dealer fob.

Q: I have a Ford Bronco key and would like to get a keyless entry system to unlock all doors as well. Can you tell me which one should I get? Will it need to be programmed and can I program it myself or not?

Some need to be programmed by a professional locksmith or dealer and some don’t. Below you will find all the relevant information about Ford Bronco keyless entry.
