historically, I've kept a spare key hidden under the chassis, in case I get locked, etc.
the manual says that without the appropriate key fob, you can get into the car, but do not start it.
I called Ford to ask if they had cut out the new keys and they told me:
1) if you have unlocked the car with a key, but you do not have the corresponding keychain, it will not start the car
2) they don't make metal keys. just an electronic keychain/key combination.
3) getting one new key costs $285+$80 per service
is all this really true? is there a workaround? is there really no way to cut out a cheap metal key with their signature ford pattern to at least put me in the car if I lock myself in while camping?
