They will most likely need activating by someone with Ford IDS software and a VCM cable.

so would i have to go to a ford main dealer ?

You could try, they might not do it or charge you an extortionate amount.
You need someone like me or a small independent mechanic but as VCM is pricey not everyone has one.
