Ok just to start, I own a 2010 Ford F150, STX, Super crew cab, 4wd, 4.6L Triton. The packaging for these keys was just fine and delivered on time. Right off the rip these keys are completely different from the OEM keys that came with my truck (I knew this already when I bought them, Just painting a picture for those who don't have a lot of automotive knowledge). However they are a very nice upgrade to my OEM set. I use to have a separate F.O.B. and key and now they are built into one. The plastic of the key is very close to OEM quality along with the rubber pad for the buttons on the key, Just a touch of off to a point that some people may not even notice the difference. The F.O.B. buttons aren't junkie, They have a nice firm but not tough press for each button. You can tell right away the key is a strong and good fit replacement as soon as you hold it. It was very easy to program the F.O.B. and the key transponder chip (No they are not the same thing) it took me less then 3 minutes to do both keys (Just watch YouTube). I took these keys to my local Drug mart store to have them cut and they didn't even charge me for it because it took them less then 30 seconds to cut both keys and debur them. I literally have no complaints. So instead of going to the dealership that would have probably charged me $350.00 per key or so depending. I paid less then $40.00 to buy both keys with shipping and tax. Had them both cut for free. Then programed them myself. These keys Lock and unlock all doors and starts the truck no problem. The F.O.B. on the new keys works great and has a little more range then my OEM F.O.B. and now my truck has 4 Admin keys programed which will work with my aftermarket remote start as well (3xL or L,U,L style remote start). Great set of keys if you need them or even want them. All you have to do is make sure they are compatible with your vehicle which they list for you in the description.

The ONLY place I can find a key fob built into the key for my vehicle, a 2004 Ford F150 5.4L FX4, is here on Amazon. However, the local hardware stores, big box stores and locksmiths refuse to cut keys purchased on Amazon. It doesn’t matter if you absolve them from all liability and offer to pay handsomely for their cutting services – they just refuse to work with you!I resolved not to give up on getting these keys cut after speaking to a particularly rude & dismissive locksmith! Cutting keys is actually quite easy if you have access to a key cutting machine. I learned to use one at the age of 17 when I worked in the maintenance department of a hotel – it’s not rocket science by any means! So, I purchased thisAnrain Duplicating Machine,which is similar to many cheaper cutting machines on Amazon (but looked to have a nicer lightbulb setup). Then I waited for it to arrive.I wasted no time in cuttingthese fob keysthat had worked on my previous truck of the same make & model. The cutter worked flawlessly, and the keys fit just fine. However, much to my dismay, I couldn’t successfully program the keys to work with Ford’s SecuriLock system – the engine wouldn’t start. The process to program the security chip isn’t difficult and is readily available in the owner’s manual or online. Plus, I had successfully done it before. I don’t know why the fob keys I used before didn’t work this time, but I sent them back for a refund.Having already incurred the sunk cost of the key cutting machine, I decided to try a different set of fob keys; these fob keys in fact. I’m sure glad I did! These keys are superior to the previous keys I tried. Most importantly, they were easy to program and were completely compatible with Ford’s SecuriLock system. However, they are also longer than the original Ford key (and previous fob keys), so they don’t rub on the ignition despite being bulkier. I also prefer the tactile feel of the rubberized buttons on these fob keys.So, for about the cost of one key and (separate) fob from the dealer, I now own these two combination fob keys and a key cutting machine! Sweet, sweet success!

Paid a locksmith $50 total to cut both keys and then programmed them myself in my 2007 F150 Lariat in about 5 minutes. I used ChatGPT to give me the programming process and it worked perfect. I will outline it here for other F150's users. You have to program each key to start the ignition, then do a separate process to program all remote clickers to work. You have to have all the clickers you own present (4 max) at the time you program the remotes as it otherwise deactivates any that are not present.You MUST have two prior working keys to program a new key, if you only have one you have to go to a locksmith/dealer to programming using their special computer. My locksmith charges $80 for cut & programming per key).Ignition programming1) Put existing key #1 in ignition and turn it to on for 3-5 seconds and then remove.2) Put existing key #2 in ignition and turn it to on for 3-5 seconds and then remove.3) Put newly cut Amazon key in ignition and turn to on and leave for 6-10 seconds while it programs. Then remove.4) Test new Amazon by attempting to start the engine, it should work immediately.Remote Clicker Programming1) Enter Programming Mode: With the doors unlocked, turn any working key from Off to On 8 times within 10 seconds. So back and forth fast, ending with the key in the On position. The door locks will cycle lock then unlock to signal the car is in programming mode.2) Press any button on your remote within 20 seconds of entering programming mode. The doors will cycle lock/unlock again to signify it's complete. Do this again for every remote you on, each within 20 seconds of the previous. If you leave any keys out they will stop functioning, you can't just program the new ones, you have to do all remotes at once.3) Remove the key. You can test all remotes now and confirm they all function.
