For those that bought the flip key...Where did you have it cut? Can i just take it anywhere that cuts keys???

 

I took my flip key to my local ford dealership. The easy way to get it cut is to take the flip key apart and just bring the blank shank key to them to cut.

 

Picture of this flip key please

 

I unscrewed and removed my key from the base, took the blank to my local Ace Hardware store and they cut it no problem.. Works great.

 

I will get mine cut and then post pics. thanks for the advice on taking the shank out. I was thinking about that...

 

OK..maybe trouble. I took the shank out and it appeared to have a spring loaded device...any idea how to put it back together?

 

Does yours look like this?

I didnt have to mess with any spring.. Just removed 2 tiny screws on each side of the blade and pulled it right out. When i re-installed mine i used a tiny bit of loctite blue on the screws.. Goodluck..

 

tg, how did you get that key ring through the flipkey? I tried like hell and couldn't get any size of one to fit- the holes seemed too far apart.

 

How long have you had your key like this? I'm very tempted to buy one on fleaBay, but have concerns about durability.

 

What vehicle was this supposed to go to?

 

I've been using the same remote from eBay for about 6 months. It has worked flawlessly since day one on my 2010 FX4.

 

Go to a lock smith. Cut for $3.50

 

Yeah i hear ya, it wasnt easy.. Hardest part was finding one small enough.. I just pulled the ring apart, slid a toothpick in between the rings to keep them apart and open. That way i was able to loop it though the remote .
I've had it for a few months now.. So far So good..Overall id say its pretty durable and put together pretty well.. Feels factory.

 

Unscrew the battery compartment and the little chrome piece comes out and makes it easier. I used a small length of my old Air Force dog tag chain...

 

Had mine cut this morning at WalMart. They did not charge me anything. Came home and followed the instructions that came with the key (with is nearly verbatum from the owners manual). Did the remote function first and then the key. Everything works great...
