Car Key Fob Keyless Entry Remote fits Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda (CWTWB1U793 4-btn) - Guaranteed to Program

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.

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.

The key programs fine using Ford's IDS software and will start the truck, but the remote lock/unlock functions don't work even after trying a new battery.Update: Did some digging on these and found that there is a separate programming procedure that is done manually to give the key the ability to perform lock/unlock functions and now all is working as it should. This is different from the OE keys I've programmed in the past direct from Ford and there are no instructions included with the keys to tell you this. Below is a copied text of the instructions I used to perform this procedure."To program the FOB buttons, you get in the vehicle and close all the doors. Then you open the drivers door and leave it open. Hit the unlock button on the drivers door while it is open. Now take your new key and put it in the ignition. Turn the key to on and back off 8 times quickly (do not start the vehicle). On the 8th time, leave the key in the on position and you will hear all of the door locks cycle. Then within 10 seconds, while the key is still in the ignition and in the on position, hit the lock button on the FOB. The door locks should cycle again which means it was programmed successfully. You can turn the key to the off position and it should be fully functional, including remote start!"

I bought these keys because the factory keys were damaged. I didn't know if these would work and took a chance. The keys were programed four months ago for my 2014 Ford Flex. I am very happy with the product. Easy to program and have worked very well for me.

The keys are of high quality however when I tried programming them to my 2012 Ford F150 using forscan they wouldn't work. After doing some research I purchased two strattec original ford keys and they programmed with no issues. After those worked I was able to program both of these keys to the truck with no issues.My situation may be a unique as I bought the truck at auction with no keys so you may need two original ford keys programmed to your vehicle before you're able to program these keys.With that being said I find these keys to be high quality and function very well.

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.

It is just like a genuine part. Excellent product, quick delivery .One key had no battery and remote starter works with 3 clicks rather than 2 as it is stated on the key itself

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.
