Good point, I wouldn't want to fly off when using a high power wash or taking it through a car wash.

 

they give you a stock code that you cant change, and then you can program another of your choice in that you can change or delete at any time

 

^ so are you saying you have two codes that work then?.

i think me and Aaron might do this. i go biking and snowboarding alot over the year and i seem to have trouble with my keys losing themselves :)..and i only have one key

i think i might if i get one put it in the gas door area.or bed, idk if id like that thing on my body

 

i like the inside the gas door idea

 

I've def. gotta get one of these.

Yep 2 codes are allowed, but can only change one!

Oh man that is a sweet idea for a location! (the gas door). yea when i go to the gym, beach or go boarding i just leave the keys in there, its nice...especially knowing if and when you eat it...the keys wont stab you in the leg...

 

So how hard is it to install the ones from an explorer, etc...? and what's needed?

thats the hard wired one. these are wireless and run off of the same principal as your remote lock unlock keypad.

 

thought that the explorer ones installed like that, sorry for the misguiding

 

the ones there talking about in this thread are the ones i discribed. there are the older ones that you can hard wire up.

 

i just got mine in the mail today. found it on ebay for 35 bucks. not a bad steal because the one i originally found in the steeda magazine was 100 bucks. anyway, i didnt put it on today because it was raining but definitely will tomorrow. i noticed yall are talking about puttin it in the gas oor and places. why not put it in the stock location? above the door handle. I was lookin a my dads 04 f250 and this thing looks identical to his on his truck. weird right? nobody is gonna know that its not stock. only someone like us would know. most common people that walk by your truck arent gonna tink twice about whether or not they can swipe it from the side of yor truck. seriously people...come on. anyay, i looked at the instructions and it gives you a code that will never change. but you can program your own in there. so basically its like a fallback. for whateer reason you happen to forget your code that you programmed in there you can still reprogram it with the hard code. anyway, ill put up a pic tomorrow of what it looks like.

 

There's nothing at all wrong with the conventional location. Just be sure to use wax remover before the installation to ensure good adhesion.

You're gonna love it.

 

how far does it work away from the door?

 

You should be able to use it from any location on the truck with no problem at all.

 

in the installation instructions it says that it will work up to 50m away from the truck. hehe

 

there ya go. i personally am one for the stock look so thats what i did. works pretty good. before i put it on i programmed it and i walked in the house and locked the doors. haha.
