@@cashyscott4825 like why should my seat belt not being buckled in mute my audio

I agree. Wtf mine is stuck with the restrictions because my family member left the administration key at a friend's. There should just be a simple code to set and unset these stupid restrictions.

@@RDe-dw4sj yeah gotta bring it to a dealer now -_- and it was on recall i JUST got it back last week -_- had a transmission control module failure

@@SAMEntalhealth I'm driving the hour away tomorrow to get that freaking admin key. Just hope the lady is home.

Exactly, I searched for how to clear MyKey with NO Admin key, and other than buying some tpe of "computer" that hooks up to the car, there''s no way to do it hat i've found

@@RabidWolf1966 I was able to get the admin key from my work to reset mine back to admin but I did see a video that is gonna sound very “tin-foil hat’ish” no pun intended but the guy wrapped a piece of foil around the key when he inserted it in the ignition, which didn’t allow the computer to recognize the specific key. I’d be curious to know if it works..

Can you tell me how you fix it I’m having trouble omg !! Please help

@@purpx33purp91 The only way I was able to fix it was to get the master key from the person who manages them. I did see another video where the person said wrapping your key in foil would basically make it a master key but I would think it would do the same thing my basic ass extra key does. I got it so I could leave the main fob/key in ignition and still be able to manually lock/unlock the doors. I tried the other day to use my basic key (just a plain mechanical key) in the ignition but when I inserted it, it said something like "key not found" so I imagine thats prolly what it would do/say if you wrapped the fob key with foil cause it would prevent the truck from seeing that its the master or child key. Good luck!

Yeah exactly I know what to do with the administration key what if you don’t have it tho.

Admin key means the original master key, the sore key will not work to reset mykey. Ford really dropped the ball here.

@@bbginc694 Thanks. Would have been nice if the programming would at least give you a warning that what you are about to do may not be able to be undone. Makes me ready to never buy another Ford.

Hey there- yeah its a big pain in the butt. If you have a second key, that is not restricted/configured for MyKey, use that one to go into the menu as the "Admin Key" and get to the MyKey settings menu. You can't get to the settings with the restricted key. If you ONLY have the restricted key and no other key, you'll need to make a new key to access it. Now you don't NEED a full bells and whistles button and remote key programmed if you go to a locksmith- you can just do a valet key and just the programming of that simple key is all that is needed to get back into the menu settings. If you DO want a new full blown key with fob/buttons, the vendor we linked has prices that are better than the dealer, but still recommend shopping around locally if you want to make sure you have best price.

Here is the link to the DIY programming of a new spare Admin Key using Toms Key Company- they have a cool service where you take a pic of your key and they scan the picture and cut it to match so that its shipped to you pre cut. Ours worked great on our 13 1.6L and I have been using it every day for a few months now. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdJ-YMedxp2mqXk.html

Hi how did you manage it

Same

@@RobinWorld33 pissed me off I just want it gone

@@reremims yup…I’m going to have to go to a ford dealership because the button to turn it off is gone…Hope everything works out for you

Buy a chevy

Oh man I don't think I've seen that before- any idea if any of your keys may be replacements? One of your 2 should always be a master key over the other

One show's admin, I was able to clear the limitations for volume/speed, it was fine, I had remote start added and the admin key is worn out so I wanted to switch them, I cleared mykey and now nothing 🤷🏼‍♀️ They look to be original but I'm not sure. Is there away to tell, I've had the car for two years.

I have the same problem. I can’t change speed limit or anything on mine. My key doesn’t show up. I can’t access my key ether. I only have one key

@@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews NOT if someone lost the admin key...and I think it's terrivle that I can't get rid of the MYKey restrictions, just because I bought it used

@@bassface1246 bro I’m literally in the same boat rn I sat in the for like an hour yesterday trying to figure out where the hell the my key was it just disappeared off the settings screen this is a huge problem ford fix your shit

Sorry for the delay- of it doesn't give you the option to clear the my key settings then in means your one key is the my key and that you're missing the admin key unfortunately

same with mine, the dealership quoted me a ridiculous amount to cut a new key. there really should be a way to erase a mykey when you buy used

@@amberhdt this what I'm going through now. I'm so effing pissed

I have two keys one from Ford and one purchased third-party i paid extra for a folding key w 4 button pad key fob becos i lowkey hate the classic key with keyfob on upperhalf style key that it came with, its just ugly. i have a buick verano with the identical key fob shell/body, just missing the buick logo, paid 200$ a couple years ago for it as a spare key cos ive had accidents locking my only key in the car) and it was programmed to work with my 2013 ford focus se, anyways i end up fooling around one night with the original key and activate mykey (no speed limiter or volume limiter, but i am very over the forced seatbelt requirements or else you get your radio muted😅) and i understand you need an admin key to reset and thats the only way yada yada yada, but the thing is i got the car with one key, i had a 3rd party make me an extra , and neither key appears to be an admin key cos i cant find the settings option, the only reason i hoped one was an admin key is under info it says 1 admin key 1 mykey, but both keys when started say mykey active and dont show the settings. is my 3rd party key like an EXACT clone or something where it somehow reads both keys as if they were they exact same key and it just doesnt show like “2 mykeys (the 2 i have, only showing as 1 bc they are possibly exact copies?) 1 admin (that i never recieved)” or is it possible to be something else like the original keys transponder still being read when i start it with the 3rd party key cos i have both in the car/or in my house and its too close? cos i dont need them both to use the car, i often carry both with me so i can run into a store and leave my car locked and running and run back out and just unlock/hop in, but i also don’t require having both like the original and the spare key have both been carried alone as my only key on me at times, so i just dont know if my 3rd party key is a clone key and the admin key it mentions on start is just the key i never received, or if i am just doing something wrong

Hello, I am trying to solve the problem in the video but I did happen to come across the answer for your question. The MyKey does tell you how many miles are on the key if you look for it in the information tab, however there is still a constant odometer in the display that still tells you the total miles on the car, regardless of what key you have in it.

probably just low becos of tcm issues/recalls. had 2 ford focus’s but escapes and other models around the same year were also affected

I have the same problem

Hey Jennifer- sorry for the confusion here. So your dad must have enabled the MyKey function by accident. When doing this, there's not much warning that the restrictions will be on when you're navigating through the dash. Unfortunately, if you only have one key, the most reliable way to get the restrictions turned off is to go to a dealer and pay for a new key, hire a local locksmith, or there's a third option which is interesting, which is a company called Tom's Key where they will cut a key for you after you send in a picture of your own current restricted key... they'll send you a new key and a programmer and you plug in the programmer and go through their app and connect the new key to your vehicle. Any second key that is programmed with your vehicle is considered an "Admin Key" and it can erase the restrictions on the original key. Does this make sense? I'm working on a Tom's Key video this week and hopefully will have something posted soon if you have some time. In a nutshell, you need any second key, or an "Admin Key" to erase the settings on your current restricted key. The Admin Key will see the MyKey settings in the dash, whereas your current restricted key can not.

Me toooo today i was messing around and now am hella mad

Did u finc a way yet please let me know

Me too pls, ridiculous system

Any updates on this question

Help pleaseeee

Hey there and sorry for the delay. Yes- thats because your key is the mykey and it can't erase its own restrictions. You need a second key to be made unfortunately to become a new admin key and get the menu option to come up. Or, if you already have a second key, try that one. Hope this helps- im working on a video now to clear this up- sorry for the confusion. Please let me know if you have any other questions

​@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews can it be a regular key duplicate ? Thanks in advance ! Xx

Did you ever get this sorted

Hi @mbunny, unfortunately if you lost the admin key you may need to go to the dealer :/ there are some rumors you can trick it back if you have a push button and remote start - do you have a key you insert or a push start?

@@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews i’m having the same problem with a 19 mustang, push to start and it has remote start. any help?

@@michaelsuarez4473you ever figure it out

Sorry for the delay here- so it is an actual error that says it can't clear the MyKey?

You will have to go to a ford dealership and buy a key. I had to do this today and I bought a blank to get cut bc they have to order it and it takes a special machine to cut it and you can’t go to the hardware store to cut it. It all has to be done at a ford dealer and they have to program it as well

@@RedSkittles87 oh okay thank you.

Hey there- sorry but you actually have that because your key IS the MyKey and you are limited to your menu options. You need a spare key made from a locksmith or a dealer to have admin rights again to reset your existing key to the original non MyKey setting. For the record, I am actively working on an update. Check out "Toms Key" for a to your door service for a new key and it comes with an OBDII programmer to program it to your vehicle. 100% refund guaranteed if it doesn't work. I do my best to make good content and realized that I have a gap here after all the comments which I'm working on. This original video was made to introduce mykey and how to erase if you have both keys. Hope this bit here was helpful to move forward with!

Also, if you have a blade key then you are fairly limited with options with Forscan. If you have a FOB and remote start you can sometimes trick the car into thinking the fob isn't present if you wrap it in foil (Faraday cage) or have somebody walk away with it once the car is started. There are a few good threads on this if you Google mykey and forscan. Good luck
