With cell phones the size of a tablet these days, being in my pocket is not an option either. My phone is in a case that gets clipped to my belt. Life was so much easier when cell phones were, just that, cell phones and car keys were, well, keys!
Also, these key fobs will work just fine with the 2015 mustangs or are these kind of universal within the ford line up? Think I may hold off until I find one that offers remote start.
So I can buy the new style fob and just program it myself?? Sounds too easy lol
yep I researched who makes them and got their pdf instructions on how to DIY
Grrr.. It requires two programmed key fobs. I only have one -_-
Front pockets aren't any better... I still lock/unlock my doors all of the time when I pick something small up off of the ground.
I agree the fob is a little on the big side, but I personally like that its not a regular key plus a fob, or the integrated stlye. Even my house has digital access now so I don't carry keys at all. While I do agree keeping things out of the back pocket may help, what I did to ensure I always have my key available is my wife had bought me a nice silver necklace, I hung my fob from that and leave it tucked inside my shirt. Keys always at the ready when I'm in the car and when I get home, I take it off and leave it in the cup holder when I park in the garage, or leave it with my wallet inside the house on the few occasions I haven't parked inside. Not for everyone but it works great for me as it allows for intelligent access with the exterior door handles and no issues getting the car started either. Also makes it harder to misplace. Just my two cents.
Don’t even know it’s there, actually.
Do you know if the 17/18 keyfobs work with 16 / 15 model year cars?
I have a 2018 key programmed to my 2015. As long as the remote is the same frequency, it can be programmed if you already have two programmed keys. The easiest way to figure out if it's the same frequency is matching the button combo on the keys (5-button VS 4-button, with remote start VS without remote start, etc.) Other threads and members have said that the key's FCC ID needs to match, but that was not necessary in my case as only the button combo and frequency needed to match.
Nice to see that the 2015 works, I checked with a site that was selling the key and they said it doesn't work. I have a few questions.
The seller I bought from said the same thing, that you wouldn't be able to program the key without professional help and it would only work on the model with the same FCC ID. After I reached out to [MENTION=19817]HizliBullet[/MENTION], he explained and confirmed the button and frequency thing and even sent over a video showing that the new keys work.
Awesome, think I'm going to bite the bullet and buy the new fob tonight.
Thanks for the info about the steps you took to get it programmed on your end, that'll help if I run into any issues.
