Security System & Immobilizer

Ford’s SecuriLock (PATS) moved from 4C to 4D63 (40- then 80-bit) chips and on to 128-bit Hitag-Pro keys and Intelligent Access proximity fobs.

On the Transit Connect specifically we see: Texas Crypto 2 / DST80 / 4D63 80-bit, Hitag Pro / ID49 / NXP PCF7953P. A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Which key does your year have?

  • 2014–2018: remote-head / flip — Texas Crypto 2 / DST80 / 4D63 80-bit (HU101)
  • 2019+: remote-head / flip — Hitag Pro / ID49 / NXP PCF7953P (HU101)

I lost the only key to my Transit Connect. What now?

We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site — no tow, no dealer wait.

Will a hardware-store copy start my Transit Connect?

On transponder-era cars it opens doors and nothing else — the chip must be programmed to the immobilizer, which is what we do curbside.
