Why I cannot create a MyKey on my Lincoln 2015 MKS?
- N
  Nicole OrozcoAug 11, 2025
  There are several reasons why you might not be able to create a MyKey: * The key or fob used to start the vehicle does not have admin privileges. * The key or fob used to start the vehicle is the only admin key (there always has to be at least one admin key). * SecuriLock passive anti-theft system is disabled or in unlimited mode. * The vehicle has been started using a remote start system that is not programmed with admin privileges.
