Bought used 2016 GT350. Question on Admin Keys

[DrumReaper]

When I bought my 16’ R, I had two fobs and 1 hand key. The hand key was there in case the battery died so you could access the car.

You scored dude! Only a tad over 5K on the clock, hell it's just barely broken in! (Unless it has been tracked). Check your tread wear for that answer.
When I picked up my 2016, 4 1/2 years ago, It came with two fobs, each of which has a "blade" inside of the fob transmitter itself. The owner's manual, (pg. 43), shows you how to access it, and use it, in case of battery failure or frequency interference issues. The key you have won't fit inside the fob, so I don't what the deal is. Glad I could help you out.

Also, I tried the Steeda spring, and even though it is better than the factory part, I found that the best feel from the clutch was achieved by using no spring at all. I need a little resistance from the pedal, and with a spring (or two, if stock), I would mash it through the floor eventually. But most owners do like the Steeda.

You need to have some kind of spring in there. If not, the clutch pedal could rest in other than the fully engaged position. Figure out which spring to use, but use one of them.

Oh, and these cars were built for the track, so unless it was used by someone as a dedicated race car, a few track days aren't bad for it as long as it has been taken care of.

And the fobs? They all contain the emergency key within them.

What is an admin key for a Ford?
MyKey allows you to program keys with restricted vehicle modes that promote good driving habits. All but one of your keys can be configured in a restricted mode. The keys that remain unprogrammed are referred to as administrator or admin keys. Admin keys can be used to: Create a MyKey.

Seems like Admin Key cannot be deleted. However, it may be possible with FORScan.

Did the Fobs change? I got 2 Fobs with my R and they have keys inside of them.

Thanks for all the responses. Thanks Tomster for checking for more info on this. The disable feature in the car is only for Mykeys, not Admin keys.

Looks like Tomster is correct, only Ford can delete an Admin key. I have 2 Admin key fobs in my possession. I’m going back to dealer to delete that 3rd Admin key fob that I dont have. Also, like Tomster mentioned, each key fob has a smaller, emergency key inside.

Nope. Both fobs had the blade key inside... I’m not sure why the 3rd key was there.
