So the guy that gave me the keys to my stang didnt have a fob. Is buying one off ebay and then bringing it to Ford to program an option? Or do i have to bite the bullet and buy one direct from a dealer to program.

How is buying one off ebay sight-unseen not "biting the bullet" while getting one from a local dealer knowing it will work 100% before you go home somehow is?

It's "fob."

There are a couple of locksmiths in the Central Florida area that offer this service. It might be something to look into in your area. It may end up being a little cheaper than going to the dealer.

Thanks marine 2003 and nightfire.

Im going to try that 8x key cycle program first. One of the comments was that it didnt work on someones 98 so I'll give it a try.

It's not different than buying the ones through your local parts stores. The programming is easy enough.
