I have just bought a Ford Ka but there is only one key. How do I get a spare key?

I assume I can get one from my local Ford dealer but what information do they need? Is there a serial number on the key?I have just bought a Ford Ka but there is only one key. How do I get a spare key?On the key fob that you have, there should be a little black plastic tab, with a code number on it, take this to your local Ford dealer, and they will order more keys, you may have to take the log book with you to prove ownership. If you dont have this tab, then you'll need the chassis number of the vehicle, this could be located on a plate just on the inside of the windscreen on the top of the dashboard, or under the carpet stamped into the floor pan, at the side of the drivers seat. Unfortunately, the locks/ignition may have been changed at some point, so the chassis number may not do it, but Ford will have a record of the replacement keys supplied. Good luck. Just an afterthought,......could the previous owner still be holding a key to the vehicle, and if so, why?I have just bought a Ford Ka but there is only one key. How do I get a spare key?

if the alarm button is on the key you'll have to go to the dealer and they will send away for one.

it is illegal to get a key like that cut at normal key cut shop.I have just bought a Ford Ka but there is only one key. How do I get a spare key?
all they need is the key go to wal mart its cheaper
Write down the V.I.N number (Vehicle identification number) from the id plate in the engine bay on the firewall( the wall seperating the bay from the inside of the car) and month and year the car was built. much easier though just to take the key and car( just in case) to the dealership and theyll be able to sort it out for you. Hardware stores or key-cutters wont be able to help if the key doubles as an immobiliser key with a chip in
there is a serial number on it.



but u sould have 2 or 3 keys.

why 1?
If it is a security key one with a chip in it you will need to order one from the dealership they cost about 40 dollars, if not just go to any hardware store and they can make you a copy
Take the key you have with you, proof that you own the vehicle

they will put the reg; No into the computer, which will give them all the gen they need and get another for you. I have a KA also

beware the blind spot behind, you must check your wing mirror

as well as the interior before pulling out Enjoy it, Cheers!
