Why I cannot create a MyKey on my Ford Automobile?
- P
  Peter CaldwellAug 12, 2025
  You may not be able to create a MyKey because the key or transmitter used to start the vehicle does not have admin privileges, or it is the only admin key. Also, the SecuriLock passive anti-theft system might be disabled. For vehicles with keyless start, make sure the keyless start transmitter is placed in the backup position.
