These fobs were a super price and programing done at a locksmith at half the price of the dealer

First and foremost: the keys work. A trip to my local Ace Hardware and within an hour they were starting the truck.I can see why a lot of people get confused in how to do this exactly. They try to explain the process, but somehow gets lost in translation. I’m not about to add more confusion to the pile. If you go slow, it’s actually fairly easy.Like others have said - and I can’t stress this enough - you MUST have two OEM keys (one master/one slave) in order to do this yourself.After reading/watching a few videos, and multiple attempts, I did get the “click-click” of the locks you want to hear. That’s the indicator it worked.The only problem I have is that remote start doesn’t work every time with the new keys. Maybe there’s more to program. At any rate, for a total of $20, I wouldn’t even hesitate to purchase again.

I wasn't sure how this set of keys was going to turn out. I had seen some bad reviews on them. Upon receiving them I noticed that they felt like the same quality as the OEM keys. This was a great thing to run into. The hardest part of this endeavor was getting the keys cut at places where I didn't purchase the keys. This has nothing to do with the keys themselves. Once I got them cut, the programming took about a minute for both keys. I had to look up a YouTube video since there were no instructions on their website. They both programmed well and work a whole lot better than my 13 year old OEM keys. I would highly recommend these if you're looking for new keys and don't want to pay from OEM.

I purchased these keys after getting a price quote from Ford for 2 new keys, cutting, and programming, which was going to be around $500 total. After researching, I decided to do this myself.I purchased a used 2012 Ford 150 pickup truck. I only got 1 Admin key when I purchased this and needed to get spare keys for everyday use.The new keys will only open the doors (manually) and start your vehicle after completing Part 1 and Part 2. The Key FOB (buttons) works after Part 3.From my experience, the order of these steps is important and should be followed for each key.Part 1 = Cut the keysPart 2 = Program the securityPart 3 = Program the FOBYou get 2 blank key+fobs with this order. They appear to match perfectly the originals (w/o Ford Logo on back)Part 1 - Cut the keys You will need to get the keys cut. I ended up getting mine cut at Ace Hardware for free.Part 2 - Program the security in the key- If you only have 1 admin key, you will need to use an OBD-II scanner and FORScan software. There are videos on YouTube on the exact process which takes about 30 minutes total per new key. The software is free and a decent scanner can be found for around $35 USD.- If you have 2 admin keys, you can follow instructions using YouTube videos to program the security chip in the new key.Once the new cut key has the security programmed, it should now open the doors (manually) and start the truck without setting off an alarm.Part 3 - Program the FOB (buttons) of new keyThe FOB now has to be programmed. Insert the working admin key into the ignition and switch the truck on then back off (again without starting the vehicle) quickly 8 times - on the 8th time leave the ignition ON. You will here the door locks operate - then, within 10 seconds, push the lock button on the key fob in the key in the ignition, you will hear the door locks operate, then press the lock button on the new key FOB you are programming, you will hear the door locks operate and it should now work.Repeat for the 2nd key.You should now have these 2 new keys working properly to unlock door manually or remotely, crank the truck with no security alarm warning, and if the remote start option is installed in your truck, you can press the lock button, then the 2x button three times slowly and the engine should crank.Note: If you are using FORScan to program the keys, you can also use it to enable the Remote Start feature/function. I did this not knowing if it was actually installed with hopes it was and was pleasantly surprised after programming my new keys to find that it does in fact have the remote start feature installed and works perfectly with these keys.

Purchased these to replace my 2 worn out key fobs. Called a professional locksmith who told me over the phone these are probably junk as he has seen subpar chip keys from Amazon before. I took the chance i may be that .01% that they are ok. He programmed them both, one had the start/door unlock programming wrong when hit lock button truck would start. Second one programmed ok but after a couple tries it quit working. The battery was dead. He replaced battery and it seemed to work fine. For all his work and programming and cutting it cost me $100 plus tax and now i only have one key that I’m not even sure it will work next time i use it. So, buyer beware that this is a problem that these cheap keys from china have bad chips and likely will not program properly. Spend the money and buy from a dealer or locksmith with knowledge.

The keys work. Once cut, they program easily, but if you program the key fobs one at a time, any fob you’ve already programmed loses its programming. Also, the remote start button is there for show. Once the keys are programmed, they will unlock the doors, but not start the vehicle. There are cheaper options without the start option, so I recommend that if you don’t need the start button to work, but if you do, don’t bother with these.

I got these keys cut at the dealership, then did the programming myself following these instructions. They work awesome, with acceptable but range but I will not complain for the price.REMOTE PROGRAMMING1. Enter the vehicle, close, and unlock all doors using the power unlock switch on the driver’s door.2. Insert the key into the ignition.3. Within ten (10) seconds, switch the key as far to the ON position as it will go without starting; then back to OFF, perform this step eight (8) times ending in the ON position on the eighth (8th) time. Each cycle ON to OFF will count as one (1).If the door locks appear to be cycling after the fourth (4th) ON to OFF cycle, restart the procedure from STEP 1 and only turn the key four (4) times in this STEP, ending in the ON position the fourth (4th) time.At this point the vehicle door locks should automatically lock and unlock, indicating that the programming mode has been activated. If the door locks do not cycle automatically then the programming procedure has failed and you need to restart the procedure from STEP 1.4. Within seven (7) seconds, using any remote, (we recommend first programming original remotes if you have one) press and release the LOCK button. The vehicle doors will automatically lock and unlock indicating the new remote has been accepted.5. Repeat STEP 4 for all remaining remotes you wish to program (you can program up to four (4) remotes total).6. Once you have programmed all your remotes, exit the programming mode by turning the key off and removing it from the ignition.7. Test all remotes to ensure they are functioning. If any did not program, restart the programming procedure from STEP 1 and switch the order in which you are programming the remotes.KEY PROGRAMMINGYou must have two (2) factory keys that can start the vehicle to perform this procedure. If you do not have two (2) factory keys for the vehicle currently, a trip to a dealership or an automotive locksmith will be required for the programming.1. Enter the vehicle and close the driver’s door.2. Using the first factory key, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position as far as it will go without starting the vehicle and wait three (3) seconds; then turn it to the OFF position and remove the key.3. Using a second factory key, insert the key into the ignition and turn to the ON position as far as it will go without starting and wait three (3) seconds.4. Turn the key OFF and remove it from the ignition.5. Using a new key, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position as far as it will go without starting and wait two (2) seconds.At this point the vehicle will illuminate the immobilizer warning lamp (usually a circular red light or car shaped red light on the dashboard display) for three (3) seconds, then the light will go out, indicating that the key has been programmed successfully.6. Once you have programmed your key, exit the programming mode by turning the key OFF and remove it from the ignition.7. Test the key to ensure it is functioning by starting the vehicle with it. If it did not program, restart the programming procedure from STEP 1.8. To program additional keys, restart the programming procedure from STEP 1 and use the same two factory keys to program the remaining (you can program up to 8 keys total).

Quite a savings if you live through the experience... :-) Here are some "key" points to help others out. This is for using these on a 2011 Ford 150 pickup truck, but I imagine they apply to many other fords. I needed to replace one key+fob that had stopped working (not the battery). It turns out the key has a security chip that was working, so just the fob had failed (would no longer open the truck doors).There are 3 parts to the adventure, and they can be done in any order. The new keys will only open the doors (manually) and start your vehicle after completing Part 1 and Part 2. The Key FOB works after Part 3 - so if you do Part 3 first, be aware the keys still will NOT start the vehicle.Part 1 = Cut the keysPart 2 = Program the securityPart 3 = Program the FOBNote 1: You get 2 blank key+fobs with this order. They appear to match perfectly the originals.Part 1:Step 1. You will need to get the keys cut, this can be a hassle as some places will do it and others will not. They cut the keys - They do not program them for you. I ended up getting mine cut at Lowe's Hardware, even though they told me they are not supposed to do it. I love Lowes Hardware! Very helpful people.Note 2: There are two different components to program on each key+fob. The cut key itself WILL NOT WORK on the vehicle without programming the security chip - it turned on an automatic alarm when I first tried the cut key - Note the cut was fine, but I hadn't yet programmed the security chip.Part 2:Step 2. You need two working keys with working security chips to self-program a third key's security (as far as I was able to tell). Even though my key fob had stopped working, the key security chip was working so I had two working keys as far as security was concerned. I knew the security chip was still working because the key could still start my truck.Step 3. To program a third (and then a fourth) key security chip, I put the master key in and switched the car on (but did not start it). I then immediately did this with the second working key. I then placed the third new cut key in and when I switched the truck on the key security chip was programmed (or perhaps the truck learned the key's code, not sure). I repeated this for the fourth new key. (All of this is online in videos, I am telling it here so people know what to expect)Step 4. Once both new cut keys had their security programmed, they would open the doors (manually) and start the truck without setting off an alarm.Part 3:Step 5. The FOBs now have to be programmed. You place a working key into the ignition and switch the truck on then back off (again without starting the vehicle) quickly 8 times - on the 8th time leave the ignition ON. You will here the door locks operate - then push a button on the key fob you are programming and it should now work. I repeated this for the 4th (second new key) key as well. (Again, all of this is online in videos)Results: I now have 4 working keys (2 are new) and 3 working fob for a fraction of the cost of getting one through the dealership.
