I bought a 2000 x at auction. One key and no door combo. How can I get the original code without paying someone? I've searched but found nothing else in here about this problem.

If you can find the reciever under the dash (or maybe in one of the rear panels) ,the code number will be on the unit...

And I just :icon_mad: fixed my door locks doing the alumunum foil thing. I didnt see a receiver but wasn't looking for one either. I dont know what it iis or what it does anyway. This is for the code they give you on the card right? I plan on putting a viper on this but would like the code anyway so I can let it idle with the keys in and the door locked. Could you elaborate on the receiver please?

I don't have one on my truck ,,but my explorer has one , it was in the L R panel , inside the car,,call the dealer & ask where it is located . it will have the code printed on the unit ...

The vsm is located behind the radio as per ford factory wiring diagram, I installed the ford one (which is actually a code alarm system)w/remote start, will see if i still have pic should be the one you are looking for I think. As for the programing since i did not have the install instructions called # on box which was 1800 FORD KEY very helpful also help to program unit over the phone( I'm not a dealer nor Ford mechanic)

I have a 2002 excursion. mine was difficult to find. once i took off the small panel that has the small hook for a garbage bag, i found it way up there in the dash. i first pulled my radio and it was not visible. mine was way deep up there in the dash and it was not visible by pulling the radio out. i almost gave up but i found it. white sticker and everything. thanks for the great info guys! i am glad i found it myself and i did not have to pay some crook on ebay!
