Just a question has anyone by chance seen the keys for the new 09 models at a show ? Just wondering if we were finally going to get a key with all the buttons incoporated or still have the seperate remote ?

Thanks

 

they did start to use the integrated fob on models a few years ago.

 

u can also buy the fusion keys off of like ebay have em cut and program them to work for your 04-08.... we do this at the alarm shop i work at for customers all the time!

 

Thanks for the post! Thumper did it on his Mustang, and thought that it might work for F150's. If ya care, this is the thread:

Going to buy the key off of Ebay...

 

YESSS!! I just ordered mine ($35). Maybee I can program the trunk opener to open my tool box??!!

 

It wouldn't be surprising if they went to the IKT for the '09s.

 

i did a quick search, what is IKT (yeah i know Integrated Keyhead Transmitter) but what does it do?

 

The ignition key and keyfob are all built into one piece.

Like the one in this Ebay auction. Some guys here are geeks and like the idea of the fob and key built into one neat little assembly.

 

Make sure you search on eBay - you can find the remotes for the $30-$35 range with low shipping. The link has a BIN option, but make an offer.

 

It would make sense if they went to the integrated key fob.

 

Personally, I prefer the separate fob and key. Allows me to put each on a separate key ring. That way if I have do a quick run into places like the post office or a walk up ATM, I can lock it without turning it off. Also if someone tries to steal it, they will be going down the road with the lights flashing and the horn honking after I hit the panic button. Something that will definitely draw attention.
