Sorry about your issue. I learned long ago when I did "my dumb" and lost a key/fob that it is always easier to add a 3rd keyfob and key when they are new. It usually takes 2 keys/fob to program a 3rd. I already added a 3rd keyfob from Amazon ($49) and did the Youtube Programing since I had 2 keys already. Then I had Ace cut the new "blade style" key for $20. So, I recommend paying $69 NOW and getting a 3rd key - besides, if you do, you will never loose it!
By the way...if your vehicle takes (2) keys to program a new key, I learned on my older F150 that the Remote Start initialization worked as one key and then the real key worked as a second initialization and allowed me to program a new key even with only one key. Scour YouTube before you give up. Lastly...when you program your new Gen 14 keyfob, follow the instructions but be surprised if it really takes 5 or more attempts to work. I was about to give up and then the truck did what it was supposed to (beeped horn, I think) and it "took". I'm on my 9th F150 so I always have to review a few YouTube to recall how to program them.
Thanks for the tip, and yeah I’ve learned having 3 keys is best so I’ve since ordered 2 additional fobs. But of course this will never happen again now that I’m prepared haha

I had a 1969 Chevy Camper Special and drove about 6 miles to my Pastors house including some rough dirt roads. When I got there I heard some pitiful noises under the truck. My cat was underneath with all 4 paws locked in the spring pack..It would not let go and had to be pulled out.
