Got my new "Flip Key" set up tonight

[dirtyd88]

If the new key starts my car, I assume the first step worked? I didn't see the security light come on like the instrux said. When I did the second step, nothing happened when I pressed a button on the new fob. So maybe the first step didn't work?

Yeah, if it starts, it worked. My light didn't come on either.

As for the key fob, make sure you are leaving the key in the on position at the end of the 8th cycle

Thx, that's what I did wrong. My car honked when I pushed the button on the working fob and for my org 2nd fob...freaked me out at first. But new fob works now!

Yeah, I was turning my key back off after the 8th cycle and I finally figured out I had to leave it on. Haha

Glad it works!

THIS DOES NOT WORK ON A 2014!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY. The key programs fine and starts the car, but the remote part will not program at all. I did it right, it just does not program. Waste of $30 because I cant send it back as my key is programed and cut on it!!! **** ME!!!!!!

On a 2014?

Has to be a problem with the actual unit, there was no cjanges to the keys in 2014. Send it back and have the guy check it out.

 

[vicnkathy]

I called the guy and he said the program probably don't work on a 2014. I will pass by his shop on Monday, im local, and get another one and try that

 

[vicnkathy]

yes, 2014 gt

Pretty nice! At $30 that is also cheap insurance incase you lose a factory key.

Got mine today:

Had the ford logo on it (crooked but its there):

In the instructions it says install a transponder in it but theres a 8.5x11 paper copy of other instructions that dont say you need it. the ebay ad said it had it inside so im hoping it does. didnt wanna take it apart and risk cracking/breaking something.

It comes apart fairly easily, but yes, it should have a working, blank transponder ready to go inside.

Next time I'll just search here first lol

Well I got mine cut. I went to walmart because I had to go there anyways. The guy said he didn't want to cut a car key. then said he cant do it since it was chipped etc. I talked to him for a minute and he agreed to do it but said he wasnt charging me anything and it wasnt his fault if the new key got "f*cked up". worked great and free. programming successful as well. Thanks for the idead, OP.

Good find OP

Just got mine and it programmed no problem on my '13.

Had to take take it apart to get it cut though, wouldnt fit in the machine because it was too long. Just had to slide it half and then it fit, took awhile to figure out how to take it apart..

 

[BlackDragon]

Guess I'm one of the unlucky ones. Got mine and it wouldnt program. Ill give it another shot later

Can you tell me how yo utook the key portion out? I want to see if there is a way to tighten the key to not be so loose.

If that doesn't work, shoot the seller and email, as another member had some issues with his key.

First you separate the whole thing, where the key sits when its closed there is slot that you put a scredriver in and twist, then the key portion and the remote portion will slide apart. Thats how you replace the battery as well, after its slid in half then you can pop the remote part in half and change the battery.

To take the key off (after its split in two parts), under the ford emblem there is a screw, take the screw out and then you can take the part where the key is in half. Not a lot to it, there is a spring, button and key part, also the transponder chip is in there.
