revOevoM Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) When I can't wash it myself and it needs washing badly, I take BluEdge to a local handwash. Been taking my cars there for years - they do a great job. First come, first serve. Line up for exterior and/or interior wash. I got there yesterday morning and pulled in behind a brand new 2011 Explorer. First one I've seen on the road. Still had a dealer tag. I go inside to wait. Soon, one of the detail guys tells the auto spa owner that they had inadvertantly locked the Explorer while washing it. (Remember, press 7/8 + 9/0 simutaneously?) The owner was informed; he went to the car, but it was obvious he didn't either 1) know the factory default code or 2) set his own code. His key was inside (not sure if it was Intelligent or not). So, there's BluEdge behind the dead Explorer unable to move up to get washed and plenty of cars now behind it. The carwash owner takes off with the Explorer owner to get a second key. Meanwhile, one-by-one starting with mine, cars were shuffled in front of the Explorer so they can get washed without too much holdup. I left before the guys got back. I was gonna ask the guy why doesn't he call Ford support (not sure if he would've gotten a response on Saturday, anyway). The dealer was a couple miles up the street (I could tell by the tag). Wonder if they would've told him the factory default. So, let this be a lesson to ya! Set - and remember - your code! edit: Isn't Ford supposed to implement unlocking thru Sync support at some point? Like OnStar? Not sure how this Explorer was equipped, but sure would've made things easier. Edited January 30, 2011 by revOevoM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burtman Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Thank you for the reminder! Just went out to program in my own door code on my 2011 Limited........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS2020 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Our sales guy had us program ours before we left the lot. Not even sure what the factory default is. I think you can set up to 4 codes if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulsa Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Your factory default should have come a plastic card inside your folder with your manual. I just keep the card in my wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
