Key to the HU101 blade profile
Ford vehicles are equipped with the HU101 blade profile key. This key style was introduced in 2004 and was replaced by the Tibbe style. The HU101 lock is more secure than the Tibbe lock, which was able to be taken by thieves. It is still used on the majority of Ford models in the present. However, the Fiesta utilizes a different type of profile key. The profile key for the Fiesta HU162T features a similar blade shape but has a milled path through the center. This profile key has different depth and space between each cut, but the primary difference is in the shape.
For the most secure fitting it is recommended you visit your local locksmith shop to cut your key's profile. The key blade profile needs to be cut in order to fit into the new key shell. If the new key doesn't work, that means your transponder immobiliser chip hasn't been transferred. In these instances the locksmith might be able to repair the transponder chips.
Ford has added many features to its keys over time. The first Ford model came with remote locking devices attached to the keys. These remotes were fitted with three buttons, which allowed the driver the ability to lock and unlock their vehicle by remote without the keys.
Intelligence Access (IA), crucial
An Intelligence Access key (IA) lets you start your Ford vehicle from inside the vehicle without opening the doors. This brand new type of key comes with an electronic transmitter built into the head made of plastic key. This transmitter allows you to operate the remote start system as well as power locks. You can also lock and unlock your vehicle from outside with the system by pressing the sensor on the driver’s door for a half second.
Key to a close proximity
If you're in need of a new key for your Ford vehicle you've come to the right place. Lock Surgeon stocks thousands of Ford keys. We also sell Ford proximity keys and remotes. All of these keys are compatible with your car's lock as well as key fob.
A Ford proximity key is compatible with your car's keyless ignition as well as keyless entry systems. The key communicates with your vehicle using radio waves. The proximity key unlocks or locks the doors and begins the engine when you get close to your vehicle within a certain distance. The key does not require batteries, which means you can use it as a spare. This makes it very practical to use it as an extra and repair or replace it should you need it.
