- Using my work truck 2019 f150 I accidentally set the" teen driver " mykey program
ford "Mykey" will
1. Limit speed to only 80 mph
2. Radio only goes to about half volume
3. Occupied Seats must have seatbelts clicked in/on , in order to drive off and hear the Radio..
The "administrator 🔑 key" can be any of the two keys provided with your Ford
and wasn’t use to set to the mykey program..

Completely forgot about the cluster menu. Been searching over an hour on the actual radio. You’re awesome, my friend.
You're a life saver!! I can't drive under 80, I only wear a seatbelt on the highway, my music is always loud. I stumbled onto MyKey while jumping another outfit, playing with the settings on my new truck and thought I was going to have to trade it in. Two other uTubers said you can't fix this without buying yet another key. Thank you for the clear, concise, and most of all to the point video!
You are a BLESSING!!!!
Your video was the only one I found that actually focussed on the my key settings!
Our dog actually ate my master key- and i was trying to figure this out - because my other TWO keys were set with limits for our kids!!
I was able to find the master key “inner parts” and put the batteries in it -
And followed your instructions -
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
This video is the real deal explained everything perfectly thank you very much!!
Solid work! Fixed my issue in minutes. The primary key was so warn & old looking, so I wanted to start using my secondary key. I didnt know what the problem was, but suddenly the music volume was limited. This video helped me quickly solve the issue the next day. Thanks!
My satellite radio went to PG with mykey. Your video was well explained and fixed the issue. Thumbs up from me
Jammin' to... "Muskrat Love!" LMAO
Thanks man I set it up thinking it was just for the main driver appreciate the video
Im glad i found your channel! I was looking in my Manual and given me a headache . Stupid me I don't know why I set MYKEY FEATURE. Thank you so much....
Thanks for your find ! I changed to another key on my F150 & was going crazy about how my speedometer
was governed & music restrictions w/o a seatbelt being fastened...Will go back to my other key & get rid of
this nonsense by clearing these settings out .!!
yeah. i think the my key feature was designed for teen drivers..but it’s annoying to everyone else. lol 😆
Thanks for the tip, couldn't figure out spend like 2 hours on it smh - cheers bro 👍!!
Just bought a used 2017 XLT. It came with 1 key - yep, setup as "my key" limited access. Just came back from the local locksmith, got two brand new Ford "Admin" keys. Got home, watched this video and cleared the original key BS. Three fully functional keys now.
So basically I can just get another spare key from a locksmith and just reset it with the new “admin” key?
@@alonso-6412don't think so, I found Toms keys online, sells cut key with programer for $100. Lot better than dealer!
Thank god!!! You’re a lifesaver
Thanks my brother you are a hero deserve a subscription 👏🙌🙏
Hurray! Thank you for a great video!
Thank you so effing much!! This saved my day!
I high recommend this video.. I did exactly how he scribe works like a champ thank you so much for all your help
Omg, thank you so much!!!! I thought I was going crazy! It worked
Damn same exact scenario just happened to me!! Currently watching!
Easy to do with an admin key. Need to see how to do it when your admin key was accidentally turned into a mykey and no longer functions as an admin key.
Well I believe most Ford’s come with two keys
From the dealership.. if you have programmed all your keys to the mykey feature.. you probably need to get another new key or take a trip to the dealership and have them bypass the program and erase stored keys .. hopefully that helps ya!!

@@jesusacosta2011 Thanks - I saw that one too. I don't have keyless start so it doesn't work. I tried covering FOB with tin foil to mimic the key's departure from the vehicle but it didn't work. I'm going to have to just pay the dealership to fix it.
@@jesusacosta2011 I tried that as well already. Connect to the truck fine and run through all the steps, but still doesn't work. At least with the connection I was able to disable most of the "features" so now only the 80mph speed limiter is still on. Luckily I live in Hawaii where there aren't many roads that you can go on that fast. Let me know if you get it to work and what you did.
@@piscatawaymechanic i
helped a lot, thank you!
Helped a bunch, thanks. 👌🏽
Glad my video helped you..
THANK YOU SO MUCH !! very helpful.
I found out a easier way if it’s cut times instead of watching a tutorial your main key which has a chip in it if it’s program to my key then whenever you use that key your speed will be restricted however if you have a spare key without a chip you should be fine just found this out today to save time
Ahhh, the other key, that was driving me nuts. Thanks
Thanks for the info it’s really work🙏
this actually worked! thank you !!! :)
You welcome glad my video helped you 👍🏻
Thank you. I didn’t know the 2 FOBs were different
I didn't know what admin was lucky i had second key turned off the admin on first ty for the tutorial on clearing first key
Helpful I corrected the settings thank you
Thanks! Short and easy!
Thank you for the help 🙏
I love u bro thank you!!
Thanks.. was driving me nuts
Thank you so much bro!
What if you don’t have the kind of display in this video? I can’t get to any such menu.
Does this remove the governor ?
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH
THANK YOU!! 🙏
Thank you broo so much 💙💙
Omg thank you so much ♥️
F-ing life saver, they had it to where i could barely hear my music and only go up to 50 mph!? I was pissed, but I snuck the admin key and wiped it ;) you didn’t hear it from me🤣
Worked perfectly
Thankss !👌
Hy thanks for your time.
Can i remove the speed limit as it's set to 130 MPH?
ford escape 2018 is it the same proses please?
My key is a user friendly program that someone can easily use and set up or delete as necessary ..
What you’re talking about involves an ecu reprogramming .. which is typically reserved for performance , sports cars etc
But u can certainly search online and see if anyone does an ecu programming for your Ford Escape.. I’m totally clueless if they do 🤷🏼♂️
thanks for the help, somehow mykey was activated after taking my truck in for new tires
how can i do this on a 2013 ford f150 XL?
Thank you!!!
How does it get activated in the first place?
Thank you 🙏🏿
Hi, does this procedure require 2 original keys to clear mykeys or any 2 keys will work? In my situation the original key is mykey and the non-original is free.
Which ever key that hasn’t been recognized by the my key system will work. You will know which key works by it allowing you to access the my key menu on the center display. If they both are recognized by the my key system. Then unfortunately a trip to the dealership will be necessary
What if you don't have an admin car we just purchased a used car and was only given 1 key? Not sure if that one is the admin or not
in order to gain access to the my key menu..you can use any other the other keys provided with the car.. ford always gives 2 keys..so unfortunately it looks like you will need to purchase another key to do this ..so one you would give to your" teen driver "and then the parents would keep the other key (that hasn't been stored in the my key program)..
@@piscatawaymechanic i
Thank you!
What if I don't have the admin key, and the feature of mykey doesn't show in the cluster?
all I can say is the administrator key is just any other key you have that came with your vehicle, (you get 2 keys ) hopefully you didn't program into the "my key" system ..in the video im generally referring to fords 2019 and newer .. so if u dont see nothing in any of the menus stating "my key" then your vehicle may not have that feature.
Thank you!!
ATTENTION PEOPLE
If you’re like me, I had both key fobs, however my spare key fob didn’t have the actual key part to put in ignition. I fixed this by tearing the mother board out of the key I locked out, then taking the ignition key part and took the other fob with me in the truck. There fire leaving the locked out mother board in the house. Then started truck and cleared the my keys.
I just bought a f150 2015 from the auction the flip key does not turn on the truck put it also came with a copy key that does turn on the truck put it pops the check engine light on and it only lets me go up to 75 mph when I hit the gas to go faster the truck only starts to kind of shake but does not go any faster would this be the problem that the truck has been programmed to not run no more than 75 mph ? Thanks in advanced
Well the check engine light is a separate issue that should be looked at with an obd2 scanner read any fault codes that are present. If the key doesn’t start the truck then it’s probably not programmed with the truck ,that’s usually a $75 job to sync key to the truck . Now the (my key) is software that has a menu in the center dash display that limits speed, music volume as like a teen driver mode. Once you program the my key to recognize the key inserted in the ignition at that moment. The vehicle will then limit those things mentioned above . Hope this helps you
Hi there.. at the end of the video you said to start the car then turn it off..to complete the reset.. does it need to be running while ure clearing the settings??
I think so.. that way the key is fully recognized
@@piscatawaymechanic thanks much!!! It worked!!!!
This was handy cuz I was like Ouu what’s this and regret it😂
Yes exactly. It actually took me 1 weeks to find out how to fix this issue. And no help from the internet.. glad it helps so many people out there
Thank you so much
Thanks!
Glad I could help you 👍🏻
I have a 2011 f150 Harley davidson. Original remote key broke. Bought a universal one. As soon as I programmed new one. It engaged mykey. Watched 20 videos on how to take off. Well I don't have a setting for mykey under settings. It has its own setting. Can't clear it or disengage it. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately in my opinion I would say, just go to the dealership and purchase an original ford key/ remote and have them properly program it into the system.. ebay/ amazon/ online purchased remotes and keys generally don’t work well with oem equipment..
@@piscatawaymechanic Is there anyway to hook up that little computer under the dash and reset it myself?
@@piscatawaymechanic cause the key still works. Just the remote is broke.
THANK YOU! CALLED LOCAL DEALERS FOR HELP, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $200.00 TO REPROGRAM MY KEYS!!
Wow really!! well glad my video helped you 😀👍🏻
They wanted to charge me 500
Can I set the speed limiter with any "MyKey", or does it have to be with the admin key?
the key that’s been programmed into the my key system will be restricted to the limits set by the program features.. and u become locked out of the my key settings menu ..
so any other available key you have, that’s not been programmed into my key , will allow you to access the my key menu options,
Ok so I need help. I have one key that I set up as a my key with limits and the other key I will get from the dealer this week. right now however I only have that one my key and it’s frustrating because I have to drive the limits. I do not know which one is the admin but once I get the other key will I be able to clear all my keys?
Yeah its any other key thats not program to the my key system.. so when you get your new key from the dealership. Use that key to start up the car and go thru the dash menu to remove all keys from the my keys log.
@@piscatawaymechanic Ok because Im not sure which one is the admin since the one key I have right now when I turn on the car it only says one MyKey and one admin key so I have yet to add the new one but wanted to make sure the new key I get I was able to use to clear them and not have any limits. Now for the new one will I be able to clear them without making it a MyKey?
okay so ive looked at thousands of videos to try to find this but my 2010 ford escaps dash does not look like this how am i supposed to get rid of the mykey if i dont have that scren in the first place
Im not exactly sure about the screen or menu options. But for starters. Make sure ur using a key thats not already programmed. Most fords come with 2 keys. So any key thats not programmed into the my key system will allow u access to a menu delete/ add keys. You would have to investigate/ try different keys to seen if anything different pops up on ur dash display.. but if u have the money ford dealer can reset the system for u $$$ .. hope this helps 🤞
Hi, I was wondering if I could do this with a key I buy online? My car only came with one key and I accidentally activated MyKey so I was wondering if buying another key for my car would work.
yes ,it should work if its a ford factory made key .. so any other key you have thats not been used or programmed into the my key system will allow full access to the my key menu ,so you can then delete all keys currently being stored in the system.
Do you need to have both sets of keys? I only have one key will this still work? Can someone please tell me thank you.
You need another key that is not already programmed into the my key system . If u have just one key and you can’t access the my key menu in the dash. That key is already programmed and can’t be used to deactivate the my key system. U will need a new key or a trip to the dealership to reprogram the system
Nice
Bro thank you I thought it was only me but would it work on 2012 ford
never hurts to give it a try.. just make sure its a key that’s not been programmed into the my key system.. (aka spare key or a new key from the dealership)
I only have a key copy. It’s not giving me the option. Anybody know how to clear it with only 1 key that’s not programmed?
If it’s not allowing you to access the my key menu . The key you’re using is already programmed into the my key system . So u have to get another key or head over to ur local ford dealer for a computer reset..
Thanks
I'm confused, how do I adjust speed and radio volume?
The my key system is designed to limit the volume and speed of your teen driver to a predetermined level.. if you’re using a key that is currently activated in the my key system you will not have access to the settings..
I made the same stupid mistake by setting this but now that i want to clear it clear my keys doesn't show on settings. I'm using the key i set it up with. What's wrong???
So, I need admistrative key to clear it??
Yeah the administration key is actually just (any other key 🔑 u have for ur car) . That is not currently been programmed into my key system.. if all the keys u have for ur car is somehow programmed into the Mikey system. A trip to the Ford dealership is the next step ..
Does this work for a Ford 2011 escape let? Can you help me please😭😭
Im not 100% sure but give it a try.. just use any other key you have for your car thats not programmed into the my key system..to access the mykey menu and remove all keys stored
@@piscatawaymechanic I don't have the other keys, I lost it in my house somewhere🤦🏿♀️
How do you reset the limited key?
Well number 1 use a different key for your car that hasn’t been programmed into the my key system.. now once you’re using that other key it will allow you to gain access to the my key menu on your car . Should be very similar to how i was doing it in my video with most newer fords ! Then scroll thru the my key settings and find where you can delete/ reset all keys .. once you do that you can use both your keys to drive without any restrictions .. hopefully that helps you!
Thank you! Somehow my key was turned on. And I could not figure out how to turn the dam thing off!
Will this work if I buy a second key? My truck didn’t come with two keys
Yes , because your new key isn’t programmed into the my key system.. so you will be able to access the my key delete menu
You can also start the vehicle,roll down the driver window,turn off the vehicle and hold the key out the window fast and restart it..
Does this work for 2013 f150?
🧐 I think it should.. because the whole objective is not using the key or keys that have been programmed into the computer.. so any other additional keys you have that are not programmed/ recognized by the my key system will allow you to access the Ford menu to delete keys
Does this work on a 2013 Ford Expedition?
im not sure about anything before 2018 models. but never hurts to give it a try. just make sure to use any other key 🔑 you have available for your ford ,thats not recognize by the my key system..
What about if the key that has been set is lost?
Thats fine because u must use any other key you have to access the my key menu .. the key you already have programmed ,put in the ignition will not allow you to access the my key menu.
Duplicate key will work in this situation?
Yes any other key u have. Will work to allow access to the my key menu. Because that key that is already programmed into the my key system will not allow you access..
they teenaged my work truck lmao gotta reset this shit bahahahaha
I dont have the adm. Key what I do?
Well any other key that came with your car (they usually have 2 keys ) that hasn’t been added to the my key program is the administrator key... if you have programmed all the keys for your car to the my key feature. Then all I can say is you probably need to visit a local dealership so they can quickly remove them .. hopefully that helps you 🤞🏻
czcams.com/video/v0XrsYOXHB8/video.html
What do i do if i only have 1 key? Am i screwed?
Well, you can purchase a new key. Or have them at ford service go into to computer system and reset the my key setting.. but that can be kinda pricey unfortunately.. i hope that helps
2011 models go through settings
Soemone else has the other key
Dose it work on a 2016 2.7
I’m not 100% sure. But if never hurt to try and see if it does. It’s just the use of the any other key that hasn’t been programmed into the my key system. That allows u to erase the already programmed key
Unfortunately i lost the other key so i only have one key i activated mykey and can't deactivate it😢
You have to purchase another key from the dealership or go to the service department and have them reset the my key program.. unfortunately both options are kinda pricey.
My key fop has my key but I have another key fop but my question is does the key fop that has that mykey thing will be there for ever and not be removed?
You have to go into the my key menu and remove/delete it from the list .. like I did in the video..but you can only do that with your ‘’other key’’ in the ignition that is NOT already programmed into my key system...
Yes I did that clear my key but now that key had that mykey thing on the new key
I don't see a mykey option. All it says is vehicle and display setup.
you didn’t say what model or what year you have .. this video usually applies for fords 2019 and newer.. if you don’t see any my key program in the menu your vehicle may not have the feature. 🤷🏼♂️ best i can tell you
What happened if I dont have the administrator key
@@kof20024ever the administrator key means any other key you have that has not already been programmed into the my key system.. so if u only have 1 key and it doesn’t allow you to access the my key menu. A trip to the ford dealership is necessary for them to delete all keys and reset the system.
Yeah all right, I have only 1 key so I'm fucked right lol
well kind of . because the system was designed so that the teen driver key 🔑 wouldn’t be able to override the parents limiter.. i believe your next option is to visit your local the ford dealership. they can rest the system for a price or buy another key. its all going to cost 💵😬
@@piscatawaymechanic ugh thanks buddy
That’s cool and all but what if you don’t have the original admin key?
Unfortunately a trip to buying a new key or a trip to the dealership to have them reset the system for you.
Of course a Chevy commercial had to pop up 😤
What if I was only given one key and it’s not the admin key I’ve been going crazy with this
Unfortunately. Only two options I can think of is buy a new key or have the dealer hook up the computer to reset the system.. unfortunately both options are expensive..
@@piscatawaymechanic damn ok thank you
What if I only have one key ?
Unfortunately. Two options get another key made or a trip to ford service to have them reset the system for you... because the key you currently have is considered the "teen driver key" and any other key is considered the administrator key
This is happening to my fusion but It only came with one key
Only options I could think , is u need to purchase another key( expensive) or have a ford technician hook the car up to the computer.. which may not be as expensive..
@@piscatawaymechanic thanks man. i notice my air only blowing from the defrost could that limitation caused it too or that’ll be a different problem? But it started right after I messed with the mykey
What if i do another key?
I don’t understand your question??
Mine doesn’t have the my key in the menu?
The 2017 -2024 ,fords should have the my key feature . This example is on a 2019 f150
@@piscatawaymechanicmines a 2016 so that’s probably why it won’t show up. I’ve been trying to get this figured out for weeks and no luck
