Key to the blade profile HU101
Ford vehicles use the blade profile key HU101. This key was introduced in 2004 to replace the Tibbe style. The HU101 lock is more secure than the Tibbe lock that could be taken by thieves. It's still used on the majority of Ford model s of today. However the Fiesta utilizes a different type of profile key. The profile key HU162T on the Fiesta has a similar blade like the Fiesta, but it has milled tracks running through the middle. The profile key differs in the sense of the space and the depth between each cut, however the main difference lies in the shape.
To ensure the best fit, it is recommended that you visit your local locksmith shop to cut your key's profile. In order to fit the new shell the key blade profile has to be cut. If the new key does not work it means that your transponder chip was not transferred. In this case the locksmith might be able to repair the transponder chips.
Ford has added a variety of features to its keys over time. The first Ford model came with a remote locking device attached to its keys. These remotes had two or three buttons that let the driver remotely lock and unlock their car without using the car's keys.
Intelligence Access (IA), key
An Intelligence Access key (IA) lets you start your Ford car from inside the car without opening the door. This new type of key comes with an internal transmitter within the plastic head of the key. The transmitter lets you control the power locks of your vehicle and remote start system. You can also lock and unlock your vehicle from outside using the system by pressing the sensor on the driver’s door for a half-second.
Proximity is a key factor
If you require a replacement key for your Ford vehicle you're in the right spot. Lock Surgeon stocks thousands of Ford keys. We also sell Ford proximity keys and remotes. All keys can be used with your car's key fob and lock.
A Ford proximity key works with the ignition system of your car that is keyless and keyless entry systems. The key communicates with the vehicle using radio waves. The proximity key opens or closes the doors and starts the engine when you come close to your car within a predetermined range. It is also possible to use the key as a spare, since it doesn't need batteries. This makes it practical to use it as an alternative and repair or replace it if you require it.
