Just as the title says the new ford keys have the remotes built into them. Has anyone tried programming one to our trucks?

 

you can if you trim the collar around the ignition switch

 

is there any way to do this and make it look clean?

 

Yes. I've seen it done on an 06 ranger before. Guy used ford focus or fusion ignition switch and keys.

 

I was kinda thinking that this morning except with an f150 lock cylinder. Sounds like yet another project lol

 

your style PATS system does not communicate the way the newer vehicles do with the integrated fob. im about 99% sure it wont program to your keyless entry or your PATS system

 

that may very well be true. What gave me the idea though was when I locked the doors with the remote on my truck, it locked the doors on my friends brand new '13 F150 across the street. Dumb *** luck I could lock and unlock his doors and vice versa. The grooves on the keys are the same, as far as pats, that's still to be determined.

 

Check with a local ford tech on this.

My shop has a Electronic Tech that has a lot of information, only thing will they share it ?

 

According to the research I just did, the new 80bit keys are backward comparable with the old 40 bit systems :)
