WIll my truck accept a keyless remote?
Just when I thought I knew everything about my 97 F150, I went and bought a new/used SCrew. Now, I have a whole new list of things I need to learn.
Anyway, here's the question - I bought a used 06 SCrew XLT. It didn't come with any remotes, only two PATS keys. It does have the drivers door number pad for the keyless entry (which I am still trying to get the back seat out for the factory code). If I buy two remotes, will I be able to program the truck for them?
Thanks

Sorry didn't see this post.
Try entering programming mode, to see if it will program RKE fobs.
2004 + MY trucks are a bit different, I have seen posts where members have the VSM/BSM with the 5 digit number, put in a keypad, and still had to take a trip to the dealer to have it enabled.
Looks like a feature request from the Dealers, as the forums gave too much DYI information, and dealers were getting cut out of a revenue stream
Give it a try, if it does not work straight away, try again, as I had problems on my '01, and it took me 3 times to enter programming mode.
Good luck, let us know what happens

Thanks SSCULLY. It worked as you suggested. I followed the instructions and the truck went into programming mode. I then got on ebay and bought a couple of remotes for $10 and just got done programming them. Everything is working perfect and just in time. I got stuck the other day when the lock froze and I couldn't get into my truck. I haven't locked the door since then.
I'm still trying to get the back seat out to find the code for the door keypad. I might just give up and hope the dealership will pull the code for free when I go get a couple of warrenty items repaired.
