There is a place near me in Birmingham called Duplicut

who can do a new remote cut & programmed for around £95 I think it was
Do remember that when you do have a new key to take all the other keys with you as they have to reprogramme ALL the keys together (At the same time) for them all to work

it is a printscreen from the C-MAX user guide.
However, remember that there are3 security things related to a remote key:
-the mechanical part (the shape of the key); there are o lot of places where they can modify mechanicaly the key to fit your lock; you will need aworking key too
-theradio code of the key; you have above instructions about how to modify this
-the security chip inside the key, that can unlock the immobilizer of your car, so you can start the engine; as far as I know, you can change this only in a dealer workshop.
so, if what I know is true, then you can program by yourself a new key only to open the car, not to start the engine

Thanks for all your reply's.
I think due to the cost i'll use the spare key and give my wife the main one. The only problem is when i open the door (with the key) i only have about 10 seconds before the alarm goes off?? Is there a way to overide this?

I DONT THINK THE ALARM CAN BE ALTERED ON THE C MAX , A FRIEND HAS A S MAX AND HE CAN TURN THE ALARM OR SENSORS OFF IN THE INFO DISPLAY ON THE DASH , I THINK THE SOFT WARE MUST BE DIFFERENT ACROSS THE MODELS . I HAVE E MAILED A FEW SELLERS ON E BAY ASKING IF THEIR FOBS WILL WORK ON A C MAX . I AGGREE IT IS A LOT FOR A FORD REMOTE SO MY IDEA IS TO USE AN AFTER MARKET FOB TO UNLOCK AND SWITCH ALARM OFF THEN USE THE SPARE KEY TO START IT . THINK I MUST BE GETTING LAZY IN MY OLD AGE ITS NO REAL TIME WASTER OPENING A DOOR WITH A KEY !
This morning, while trawling around ebay I found a 3 button flip control and uncut blade for £54.99 + £3.95 P&P brand new!
Of course it was bought on the spot and with the instructions earlier, I should be able to programme it. Just got look further for someone to cut the blade.
Oh, the ebay item number is: 140203864904 and here is the link to the ebay shop: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Ford-Genuine-Parts
HTH
