How on earth are they doing the "Delivered to your home for DIY programming" ? What is this pairing device they are speaking of?

Ford keys for one if you have an older vehicle and 2 working keys or the red master key for really old fords, you can program remote and chip in yourself.

You know what it's that long since I programmed one that way I forgot it was even a thing lol

its not a thing on the age of car they give example of , in this example a 2016 focus , they also dont state whether bladed or keyless key.

i suspect its either a cheaper version of the ford obd dongles sold on amazon and the like or an osca style set up they can code remotely .

80 bit ford chip cloned (no snoop), manual remote synch?

[rapidlocks]

probably not cloned , probably a stand alone dongle to program by obd , on a 2016 focus if oem key then remote will code in with the chip by obd. ive seen these dongles for mk8 transit and mk7 transit , a favourite with the thieves as low as £240 per dongle online , if someone like timpsons bought 200 or more they will get a much lower price , could even have someone copy the product cheap in bulk.

possibly charge a refundable deposit on the device paid back once device returned.

It’s a dongle that they send out with the key

Do customers return the dongles?

I’m not sure to be honest 

I don’t get involved with it

the ones I’ve seen though were such poor quality, I’d imagine they can only be used once
