Why I cannot create a MyKey for my Ford Automobile?
- C
  Cody RobertsAug 15, 2025
  There are several reasons why you might not be able to create a MyKey for your Ford Automobile. It could be that the key you are using to start the vehicle is not an admin key; there always has to be at least one admin key. Alternatively, the key used to start the vehicle could be the only key. It is also possible that the passive anti-theft system is not programmed to your vehicle.
