"Definitely YES" picture same as what I saw, the problem was that I needed the programming done first, there is a locksmith in my area that would have done the cutting of the key for $35.00. I did it just as fast as you did with no string and I also tried the 2nd method and my mistake when I said Ford , it should have been "Lincoln" then year, make and model and then search and then one would see the 2nd method that I posted.
The 2nd method is even faster then the 1st and requires no string and I got up to the point where I should have seen flashing, No flashing observed.
