60 MyKey CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM STATUS The information display controls provide information about keys programmed to the vehicle: • MYKEY MILES: Tracks mileage when a MyKey is used. If mileage does not accumulate as expected, then the MyKey is not being used by the intended user. The only way to reset this to zero is by clearing MyKeys. If the mileage is lower than the last time you checked, then the key system has been recently reset. • # MYKEY(S): Indicates how many MyKeys are programmed to the vehicle. Can also be used to detect deletion of a MyKey. • # ADMIN KEY(S): Indicates how many admin keys are programmed to the vehicle. Can also be used to detect if an additional key has been programmed to the vehicle. USING MYKEY WITH REMOTE START SYSTEMS MyKey is NOT compatible with non-Ford-approved aftermarket remote start systems. If you choose to install a remote start system, please see your Ford authorized dealer for a Ford-approved remote start system. The following information MAY help customers who choose to use a non-Ford-approved remote start system. The actions provided below do NOT make MyKey compatible with non-Ford-approved remote start system, but it MAY help you to retain some MyKey functions. Vehicles Equipped with Traditional Keys When using a non-Ford-approved remote start system, the default settings may recognize the remote start system as an additional admin key with its associated privileges. It is NOT compatible with MyKey. Restart the engine when you insert a key into the ignition cylinder; it may help you to retain some MyKey functions. In addition to the key that has been programmed as a MyKey, owners of vehicles equipped with traditional keys have the option to program the non-Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey if the remote start fob is used by the MyKey driver. To program a non-Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey, do the following: 1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors. 2. Remote start the vehicle using a non-Ford approved remote start fob. 3. Follow Steps 1-5 in the Creating a MyKey section. 2013 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
