Programming Blue 3 button remote keys

The blue coloured remote key used on Ford transit vans is unique and differs in various ways from the standard black remote which is used on many Ford vehicles.
One major difference being, that the battery is boosted each time the key is turned in the ignition lock. As the battery is effectively self-charging, the remote casing is sealed in order to protect the circuit board and battery.
Depending on usage, the average life of a remote for these transit vans is around six years. Being sealed units, the batteries on the blue headed remote cases cannot be replaced; hence, when the battery eventually fails; the buttons will no longer operate the central locking system and your remote will need to be replaced and programmed using diagnostic equipment.
Some Ford owners will be aware of the procedure to synchronise a remote to the vehicle. This is done by turning the key in the ignition barrel to position two and then back to position 0 four times in six seconds; on the fourth and final turn a beep from the dashboard is the signal to press any button on the remote. Once this process is complete, the remote will be synchronised to the vehicle.
This procedure however does not apply to the blue remotes for Ford transit vans, as there is no manual process to synchronise the remote to the vehicle. This can only be completed by using specialised key programming equipment via the vehicles OBD (on board diagnostic) computer port. This operation simultaneously programs the vehicles transponder (engine immobiliser) chip and remote facility.
