FREE PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS PACKED WITH THIS KEY!!!! Yes it is brand new and uncut! This is a TRANSPONDER KEY that fits the 2000 (They sell keys for 1997-2008, year specific) FORD MUSTANG. This key is not available at Wal-Mart or your local hardware shop. The key must be programmed to your vehicle. This is a simple process if you already have two existing working keys for the car. I'll include free programming instructions! If you don't have two working keys then you will have to go to the dealer or to a locksmith with the special equipment needed to program these types of keys. This will cost you from $20-$40 to have this done. If you already have two keys then you can program it yourself for free! Your only cost is the price of this keyblank and the cost of getting it cut. It can be cut by the dealer or a good locksmith for about $2 if you already have the blank. You will save a lot of money if you plan ahead and keep at least three keys, at all times, for your vehicle. I need to point out that if you lose all of your keys and need a new one made for your vehicle then you will have to call a locksmith to come and make a new key. You will pay about $250 when you meet your local TRANSPONDER enabled locksmith and marvel in absolute wonder as you see him create a new High Security Transponder key for your vehicle from scratch in about an hour. The advantage to all of this is that car thefts have decreased since the introduction of the transponder key system. The disadvantage is that you will pay a lot more for these high security keys. But, with the purchase of this key blank, you'll save some real dollars and you'll PAT yourself on the back for being so smart! http://www.amazingkeys.com/v/vspfile...s/clear1x1.gif

Spare key hidden under the car somewhere or on you!
I vote this as being one of the DUMBEST damn threads in recent memory!
Sorry its not like youre trying to hide a fat girl in the trunk its just a little key!

yeah,, but i needed to know possibilities,, becuz i even thought of lying under the car and sticking a rod thru the firewall and grabbing the keys out of the ignition,, i had some radical ideas and just needed some proven ideas for help.

you haven't gotten inside the car yet?

Dude either put a spare one in your shoe or wallet or something or just get a triple A card or something.

or if you want, one of thew new guys that was posting his new Mustang, I think he's new. But anyways he put a keypad behind his gas tank lid to get into the car if he locked or lost his keys. LOL

Is it really that hard to remove the keys before you get out? You turn the car off, pull your key out, keep key in hand, open door, get out of car with key in hand. Very simple. Do you not have keyless entry?

i think i have a chip in my slimjim.

i got the keys out next day. But my car has a "Secure Guard" security system in it, and its very very aggravating! Like it sounds cool when u lock the doors, but it has a motion and sound sensor in it, that are VERY sensitive, and when someone walks by it beeps at em. and if you slap my door it goes off and off and off and off and off. and i dunno how to disable the motion sensor.

why do you need 2 keys? thats just damn inconvenient
