2011 Ford Ranger PATS key programming (using XTOOL D8), key cutting, remote FOB programming

In this video we learn how to use the XTOOL D8 to program a 2011 Ford Ranger to accept two $29 PATS keys from eBay. Before we can program the keys in, we’ll need to cut them using a mini-CNC mill. As a bonus we’ll show how to program in new $5 remote FOBs form eBay, no scanner required. We’ll finish up comparing the cost of buying a key from the dealer to the hardware required to do it yourself.

I am not affiliated with XTOOL but after doing a video on using the D8 to program new FOBs into a Mini they offered the 8% off code below that I could share with folks. You can save 8% on a D8 but I do not make any of this 8%. The links provided are Amazon associate links which means I’ll make a few cents from Amazon. (Full disclosure)
