Ford Key Fobs
« on: 11 December 2009, 15:53:13 »
Bought the Mrs a Ford Focus tdi a few weeks back and it just occured to me that although it has central locking it dosn't have a remote fob or even buttons on the keys.
Is this the norm :question

Bit a pain having to put the key in the lock every time >:(

Have seen the 3 button fobs like we have on the works mondeo on ebay for varing amounts anybody know how i go about upgrading to a remote.

TIA


Dave :)

CL didn't have remote locking IIRC.

I did at first but have been reliably informed (Google ::) ) that chances are it didn't. SWMBO giving me grief about not being able to 'zap it' like her old car  ;D ;D
