Respect to him considering the safety of all passengers while caring about his daughters!

Everone of you are complaining about the 80 mph limitation. But, if you DID pay attention to the video, you can see there is an option for "OFF" in the menu, meaning...you DON'T have to set the 80 mph limitation in MyKey because there is one other option. DUH!

[Sigrafix]

I would like a special valet version of mykey that once it detects an asshole dumping the clutch or doing burnouts/speeding it immediately straps them into the seat, tazes them and then proceeds to open a small compartment in the bottom cushion out from which comes a cactus which sodomizes the valet continuously until you return to your car with the master key.

Fast forward a few years now there are a bunch of used cars with only 1 key and can’t turn off any of those features without spending $400 at the dealer for a new admin key and program

[yanabana]

My key is great features however when the car is resold it is near f***ing impossible to remove the settings off the car . Especially if the person doesn’t give back the Admin key when selling

[sxystormrider]

I have a 2018 Ford fusion but nowhere to program my key

[Stolichnaya]

I understand watching the speed and staying buckled up but controlling the radio, that’s just unnecessary unless you get distracted by a radio

[christygrant]

Does the for explorer 2018 come with an ignition so I can manually start with key

[mufongo]

on my focus, my mykey is NOTHING like the one in this video! there is no menu option to create or disable (which is what i want) the my key feature..

[liamball]

So you need the spare key to deactivate the mykey ?

[eamh]

Oh yeah no worries, I have a 1992 BMW.

I just don't loan it to anyone :D  I'm more worried about my synchros than radio volume. And I always warm up my engine by pampering it until it's fully warm.

You wanna know the BEST car? 1990-1998 Toyota Corolla hatchback 1, 6XLi.

[israelmelendezjr]

No way to reset it? (As some claim) There is an option to administer keys in the settings menu.

[Kiieerrann_xx]

I'm gonna do this to my bro when he gets his Fiesta next year. Lololololol

[whcp]

What year did you come up with this ideal mute radio until seatbelt fasten?

[GraceToast]

What a waste.  There are so many other things they could have put in that display list.

[GarrettGiuffre]

Mykey
The greatest ideas are the stupidest. Ford. What to know how to fix Mykey??? Require 2 admin keys to "program" 1 admin key to "clear" because I only have one key and I was fiddling with my sync now I have a mykey and no admin key!!!

[Gizmo]

touch wood more car makers will implement this, good idea

[risingboo]

Just wanna sue ford...just bought 2015 fiesta w one key already set and locked in..cant go more than 65 mph and hate it.. I cant pass cars, cant speed up. This is sooo f'* up.. hate ford... I have to pay to be able to reset mikey. If I would of known... never buy ford again. Hate it so much

[jefferyshall]

So this is the evil creator of this piece of crap system. So buggy and can’t get rid of them, can’t program them… 🤬

[BuddhaFett]

My key is fucking stupid. Don't use it. It puts you at risk.
