Can you flash frogram to install with one key? 2011 escape evo all in one 4?

Question

Only have one key, about to use forscan to program 2nd key, but do I need it?

Answer 1

Hello,

No, its not mandatory to get a 2nd key.  You can follow the 1 key dcryptor process, however you will need the flash link updater in order to do this.

Best regards.

Answer 2

You can do 1 key programming on a 2011 escape.

Page 10 to 12 of the installation guide has the steps: https://fortin.ca/download/95081/EVO-ALL_IG_RTS_BI_FOR-ESCAPE-2008-2010_KEY40bits_A_95081.pdf

Answer 3

I discovered some vehicles don't program correctly with the 2-key method.  Decryptor method seems to work every time and requires only 1 key.  If you have Flashlink Updater or Flashlink Mobile, you're good to go.

Answer 4

Found out yes you absolutely can, you just have to purchase the immobilization unit,  I installed everything myself from downloading forscan software to program a second key to programming the all in one module flashed to be installed without the immobilization but to work with the 2 key process. Was very nervous especially soldering/wiring in the parking light relay (just a 4pin relay I had sitting around) , but it went flawlessly! Not a single issue, using the factory lock, lock, lock isn’t worth the plastic it’s made from but it does start my suv from 10 feet away lol. I would give Fortin 5 stars, except for the remote has to be purchased separately when the competition comes with one, finding the start 2 duo has proven impossible to find
