Ford Falcon AU2 AU3 remote key for Series 2 and 3, 1999 to 2002
Programming this AU Falcon remote in your driveway
What makes this remote appealing is that no locksmith visit is required for the remote functions. You sit in the car with the doors closed, turn the ignition to ACC, and press the rear demist button three times within five seconds of the key turn. Press a button on the first remote and the door locks cycle to confirm it has been learned; repeat for each additional remote, up to a limit of eight per car. Each newly trained keypad answers with one more lock cycle than the last. Turning the ignition off exits learning mode, and the instructions are supplied with the order so you can follow along step by step.
Which Falcons and FPV models it suits
This is a complete remote for the Ford Falcon AU2 and AU3, which covers Series 2 and Series 3 vehicles built from 1999 to 2002, including FPV, XR6 and XR8 variants. The listing is specific that it suits Series 2 and 3 only, so Series 1 AU owners should not assume it carries over. The practical test is simple: if your current remote looks the same as the one pictured, it will work. Owners who want a spare for each driver can pick up the Ford Falcon Car Remote Key Fob AU2 AU3, which pairs two units in a single order.
Options for later Falcons and keyed alternatives
If your vehicle is the following generation, the same style of fix exists. The Ford Falcon Territory Remote Key Fob BA BF covers BA and BF Falcons plus SX and SY Territory models from 2002 to 2010, and the Ford Remote Flip Key with Chip BF FG suits BF to FG vehicles where a transponder chip and cut blade are part of the package. Choosing the right generation matters because Ford changed both the remote electronics and the programming routine between AU and BA platforms. Matching the years, the body style and the look of your existing fob is the quickest way to land on the correct part the first time.
