Replacement for 2015 - 2019 Ford F-150 F-250 350 Keyless Remote Flip Key Fob 164-R8130 N5F-A08TAA;by AUTO KEY MAX (Single)

I took a chance on this keyfob, had the local ford dealer cut it and program it, and it works great on my 2017 f150, would buy again

I mistakenly activated mykey function, so I couldn’t drive more than 80 mph. Dealer was asking me 450. I order this went to ACE hardware to cut it in $45. And programmed it myself with xtool.It worked perfectly fine. It worked as admin key so I was actually able to remove mykey.

This is excellent for a FOB BODY/SHELL replacement. Our original key FOB was smashed.

Fobs came quickly and in great shape. Far less expensive than the dealer.I paid $70 to get both laser cut at the locksmith which was a bit of a surprise.Everything I had read on the Internet said the self-programming option had been removed in the 2018 F150s. The dealer wanted $150 to program two fobs and the local locksmith wanted $135. Even Ford updated the Owner's manual in 2018 indicating first how to program a new fob and later to go to your dealer for fob programming. My 2019 manual even says I should go to the dealer.I even looked into ForScan and an ELM327 adapter but there was no option for my 2019 F150.Based on jseaco nc's review, I tried the programming steps and it worked! Took less than a minute. For two fobs I just repeated the procedure for each one. As long as you have TWO original fobs, it works great. I timed the 3 seconds to coincide with the startup chimes. Worked perfectly with no do-overs. The info display even shows the factory key code.The dealer said ONLY Ford original fobs would work. Clearly Ford and the dealers are colluding at some level to force people to go into dealerships and pay exorbitant prices for something you can do at home in a few minutes.

Ok
