Another "flip key" thread - 2010 F150 Platinum...

After seeing a few threads of people who went on eBay and purchased a flip key for their trucks, I did the same thing. However, I didn't really care for some of the models I saw and searched around. I wanted one that matched the same number of buttons as my original FOB and one that had the "Ford" logo on it so it looked as OEM as possible.

I bought mine from "remotez4less" on eBay for less than $45 shipped. I went to my local TrueValue hardware store and got it cut for $2 (HomeDepot couldn't cut it because of the type of machine they had).

I used my original two keys to program the PATS on the new key without any issues and also programmed the FOB buttons without issues...very, very easy.

Some pics, enjoy...





BTW, I used these instructions...

PATS Key:


Key FOB:

Very cool!

I hate bulky items in my pockets so a flip key seems like a great idea; I refuse to put my iPhone 'brick' in a pocket because it irritates me.

Not really any more compact than the separate key and transmitter, more or less something different and cool.

Folds up in to a nice package, very cool!
