Look at page 399 in the owners manual. It is called valet Mode.

No, Valet mode is a different mode.

Valet mode shuts down the infotainmentscreen with a pin code just like the valet mode on the S550. People can drive the car but can't mess with your options, navigation, and contactlists.
They only can use the climate control.

Mykey is a different option. It's how to setup an admin key and a mykey, so that If you give that car to somebody else, you can choose different kinds of stuff
- Limit the maximum speed to a certain amount
- limit the volume of your speakers
- prevents disabling traction control

I had a Chat with someone named Bot C1 at ford a while back.

Thank you for waiting for me, to create MyKey restrictions in your vehicle you will want to complete theses steps.
Choose which key fob will become the MyKey, and insert it into the ignition.
The other key will become an administrator key.
If your vehicle is equipped with a push-button start, place the intelligent access key fob into the Intelligent Key Fob Backup Slot in your middle arm rest or inside the cupholder.
Start your vehicle.
Create a MyKey using:
The display screen
Select Settings.
Tap Vehicle.
Select MyKey.
Tap Create MyKey.
Select your desired settings/restrictions.
Turn off the vehicle.
MyKey is now created and will activate the next time the key fob is used to start the vehicle.
Note:
Once the vehicle is switched off, an admin key is required to change or clear any MyKey settings.
Once a MyKey is created, the information display can be used to determine:
How many admin keys and MyKeys are on the vehicle.
The total distance the vehicle traveled with MyKey.

S650 does not have my key for this model year.

My 2024 EcoBoost Premium has it.

You’ve actually programmed it? The slot you see in the center console isn’t for that any longer. Last I saw it’s completely gone for this model year.

MyKey does not exist on the 2024+ Mustangs

Weird. I can't find the MyKey setting when tapping on the vehicle settings.

It's weird that they talk about Mykey in another subject in the manual, but there is no Mykey vor the car.

Yeah. I was interested in setting up my key too, would love to limit other people, but I found out from the dealer it doesn’t exist for some reason.

On my 401A GT Ragtop there are profiles that are matched to the 2 keys, and I assume you can add a third based on what I am seeing on the display, but basically you go into settings and profiles, match the key with a name, and then it remembers things like seat position, mirror settings, pretty much what the 3 buttons on the drivers side door do as far as setting a memory for individual users or preferences

That doesn't protect nothing. It's just a profile.
Mykey protects people who use the car from using or abusing some of the options.

Pretty sure the S650 has My Key....works for me. Can't remember how to set it up exactly but it was something like putting the Mustang in on mode without engine running and holding the lock button on the key. It will save all the options to that key.

I have not actually programmed it, but when I saw this question, I went to the car and tried to. I could not find MyKey in the Sync4 system, so I once again got into Ford.com Chat and spent time with the worthless chatbot, then requested agent and got a waste of time with someone there. Apparently when you chat with a live person, they take your question and put it into the chatbot, and just spit the answer back. I guess that is where the original answer I posted came from.

Sorry if my original response misled anyone.
