Before anyone takes any drastic measures, it's important to remember that we still don't know how Sungod661's truck was stolen, as they haven't caught the thief. It's entirely possible that an ex-dealership employee was copying keys and either selling them to thieves or using them to seal vehicles themselves. If your average degenerate car thief could walk up to any vehicle with a tablet and a unprogrammed key and steal it within minutes, you'd be hearing about insurance companies filing lawsuits against manufacturers.
I'm only personally concerned about the unprogrammed key + fuse. And as someone who doesn't trust FordPass for security reasons, I've potentially saved the bastards 30 seconds.
Not at all concerned about people being able to get into the truck. Locks can be picked, popped, and jimmied. And a rock through the window still works.
If an unprogrammed key lets you start it though, that's a massive security flaw in the design. Would be amazing if this worked, but not exactly surprising. Other car companies have had similar spectacular failures with wireless systems.
I need to grab a third key anyway, so gotta try this. Hoping and assuming it doesn't work.
Is the current theory on this issue that it requires an unprogrammed key or a key programmed to a different vehicle?
