About Ford Car Key Systems — What Lee Works With
Ford PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) — transponder immobiliser used across all Ford vehicles since 1996. Post-2019 Ford models (Focus Mk4, Puma, Kuga Mk3, Transit 2019+) use the enhanced Ford PATS with Ford’s secure immobiliser system.
Lee programmes all Ford key types using AUTEL MaxiSys professional diagnostics — the same platform used by Ford main dealers. On post-2019 Ford vehicles requiring SERMI access, Lee holds the necessary certification to obtain Ford’s security data legally and programme the key on-site.
Whether you need a spare key for an older Ford Fiesta in Salford, an all-keys-lost job on a Ford Transit in Stockport, or a keyless entry fob for a new Kuga in Didsbury, Lee attends your location and completes the job in a single visit. No workshop. No tow truck. No dealer wait.
Used on Ford vehicles 1996–2018. Transponder chip immobiliser. Key blade + remote. Lee programmes via OBD without SERMI access.
Focus Mk4, Kuga Mk3, Puma, Transit 2019+. Requires SERMI certification. Lee’s AUTEL MaxiSys + SERMI access = same-day on-site programming.
Remote central locking fob for older models, or proximity smart key for keyless entry vehicles. Lee programmes both on-site.
No original key? Full PATS reset + new key generation. Post-2019 Ford all-keys-lost requires specialist immobiliser access. Lee can attend 24/7.

Does Your Ford Need SERMI-Certified Programming?
Ford vehicles manufactured from 2019 onwards — including the Focus Mk4, Ford Puma, Kuga Mk3, Transit 2019+, and Transit Connect 2020+ — require SERMI certification to access Ford’s immobiliser security data for key programming. Lee holds full SERMI certification and can programme keys for these models on-site.
On older Ford vehicles (pre-2019), standard PATS key programming is carried out via OBD. Lee covers both generations across Manchester, including Bolton, Oldham, and Rochdale — call 07506074590 with your Ford model and year and he will confirm immediately.

How Lee Prices Ford Car Key Work
Ford key replacement prices vary significantly by model, year, and key type. A spare key for an older Ford Fiesta is a very different job to programming a new keyless entry fob for a 2021 Ford Puma with manufacturer security access requirements.
Rather than list approximate prices that may not reflect your specific Ford, Lee gives you an exact fixed price over the phone in 2 minutes. Tell him your Ford model, year, and what you need — he quotes before attending. No call-out fee. No variations on arrival.
In most cases Lee’s price is noticeably less than a Ford main dealer quote for the same work, with same-day on-site service instead of a wait of days or weeks for a dealer appointment.
