The frequency of the Ford Kuga key is 433MHz. This frequency is used for the transmission of signals between the key and the vehicle’s radio frequency receiver, allowing for functions such as remote locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start systems.
The key emits a signal at this frequency, which is then detected by the vehicle’s radio frequency receiver. This signal is encrypted and sent to the Keyless Vehicle Module (KVM) via a fixed wire. If a valid code is received, the engine can be started.
If you need to reprogram the remote key to open and close the car, there are specific procedures for programming the remote RKE keyfob on the Ford Kuga. These procedures vary depending on the model year of the vehicle, but they are designed to sync the remote key to the car.
It’s important to note that the system may not function properly if the key is close to metal objects or electronic devices such as cell phones, as these can interfere with the radio frequency signals.

What protocol do car keys use?
Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) transponder
Most key fobs use a Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) transponder to enable it to unlock the vehicle and perform a variety of additional functions. The key fob sends encrypted data to the vehicle; this is often a rolling code that allows the vehicle to ID the key fob.
What is my key on Ford Kuga?
The available MyKey feature allows you to configure one or more of your Ford keys to control your vehicle’s safety settings, even when you aren’t behind the wheel.
How do I know what frequency my key fob is?
You can figure out what frequency your key fob transmits on using your SDR and use GQRX or SDR# to monitor the spectrum. When you push a button on the fob, you should see a brief jump in the spectrum. You may need to shift the frequency band up or down by a couple of MHz to find the signal, mine was almost 2.5 MHz low.
What frequency is Ford remote key?
315 – 433 MHz
Freq. 315 – 433 MHz) Auto Remote Controls Ford Remote Control.
What frequency is the RFID in car keys?
13.56 MHz
Almost all automobiles manufactured since 1995 have had an RFID transponder embedded in the plastic housing surrounding their key grip. These 13.56 MHz passive transponders communicate with an RFID reader in the steering column.
What is a Ford key code?
A key code specifies which key will open a specific lock. Official Ford dealers can keep the key code of each Ford supplied by them for a number of years. The reason for this is to simplify the ordering of additional keys. These key codes will not always be stored.
What battery does a Ford Kuga have?
