Just bought a Fusion key off of Ebay the other day for ~$40. I think list from ford is more than triple that. I thought it was a cool little mod that's useful. I always used to carry my set of car keys plus another ring with all of my other keys but now I just carry both together. Has anyone stolen the Fusion key and used it on their vehicle? I know it only works on the 2007 and 2008 Mustangs so I'm not sure how many other vehicles it works on. I'm pretty sure it'll work on the F150, too.

 

Nice. Would be great for the guys that would like to lighten up their keyring.

If I remember right, there were a few guys on here that had bought keys like that and succesfully used them in the trucks.

I like to have a little bulk on my keyring, Im to paranoid about them falling out of my pocket I would def. be all over this key if I wasnt that way though.

 

Keyless entry and key is 1 piece instead of the seperate stock with the 150.

 

How would I find out if it worked on my F150. NICE FIND!

 

I guess we need a test dummy, I will transfer some cash to my paypal...

 

This is where I bought from ... I think it's the cheapest place for one that isn't used. I paid $5 to have it cut at Ford. You can program it yourself if you have two keys already. I'll post the instructions in another post.

This is for a Mustang, but I'd think that it'd be the same way for a F150. Maybe someone can verify, where's Quintin when we need him !?


SECTION 419-01B: Anti-Theft — Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS)

2008 Mustang Workshop Manual
Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys

NOTE: This procedure works only if 2 or more programmed ignition keys are available. If 2 programmed keys are not available, refer to Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment in this section.
NOTE: The SPAREKEY PID must be enabled for this procedure to operate. If this PID is not enabled, refer to Key Programming Switch State Control in this section, then select SPAREKEY programming switch ENABLED. The SPAREKEY PID is set to ENABLE when the vehicle is built.
NOTE: If the programming procedure is successful, the new key(s) will start the vehicle and the anti-theft indicator will prove-out for approximately 3 seconds. If the programming procedure is not successful and the new key(s) does not start the engine, leave the key in the ON position for at least 3 seconds, then turn the key off. Repeat the key programming procedure from Step 1. If the failure repeats, refer to Anti-Theft in the Diagnosis and Testing portion of this section to review the DTCs and carry out the appropriate pinpoint tests.
NOTE: A maximum of 8 passive anti-theft system (PATS) keys can be programmed into the PCM during this programming procedure, but only if the SPAREKEY PID is ENABLED.
NOTE: A minimum of 2 PATS keys must be programmed into the PCM before the vehicle will start.
NOTE: If the vehicle is in unlimited key mode, this spare key programming procedure still functions. Any 2 keys that can start the vehicle can be used to program an additional unlimited key.
NOTE: If additional keys are to be programmed, and the remaining keys are with the customer, or are not available, instruct the customer to refer to the Owner's Literature for instructions on programming the remaining keys. In either case, the SPAREKEY PID must be enabled.
NOTE: If the steps are not carried out as outlined, the programming procedure will end.
NOTE: Ignition keys must have a correct mechanical key cut for the vehicle and must be PATS encoded keys (contain a transponder).
NOTE: This procedure is not necessary if only the PATS transceiver was replaced. Replacement of the transceiver does not erase the PATS key codes in the PCM.

1. Insert the 1st programmed key into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the key from the OFF position to the ON position (maintain the key in the ON position for a minimum of 3 seconds and less than 10 seconds).
2. Turn the key to the OFF position and remove the 1st key from the ignition lock cylinder.
3. Within 5 seconds of turning the key to the OFF position, insert the 2nd programmed key into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the key from the OFF position to the ON position (maintain the key in the ON position for a minimum of 3 seconds and less than 10 seconds).
4. Turn the 2nd key to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition lock cylinder.
5. Within 10 seconds of turning the key to the OFF position, insert the unprogrammed key (the new key) into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the key from the OFF position to the ON position (maintain the key in the ON position for a minimum of 3 seconds and less than 10 seconds).
6. If it is desired to program additional key(s) (only up to 8 keys total can be programmed into the PCM), repeat Steps 1 - 5 for each additional key that needs to be programmed.
7. Start the vehicle with the new key(s).

 

Thanks Thump! I sure would like to see Scott test it though If it works, the key sure would be handy to place in my carry-on when I travel.

 

No problem. I forgot to mention earlier, even if you don't get a Fusion key, it'd be a good idea to buy another factory key. You can only program keys if you have two keys so if you only have one and need to program one, it's a trip to the dealer for you. I'm not exactly sure how much they charge for a key, cut, & programming without the two original keys but I bet the KY isn't included ...

PS: The instructions to program the key is just to program the actual key, the chip inside of the key, so it'll start the vehicle. There are more instructions for programming the key fob in your owner's manual. If it's the same as the Mustangs, you have to lock the doors "electronically". Put the key you want programmed in the ignition and cycle between off and on 8 times (You should end in the on position) and it'll lock the doors and unlock them and you'll know it's program. Also do not have your foot on the brake while you're doing this procedure, it won't work.

 

^^^Interesting...two keys? I guess it is a security issue? I definitely want want one or two (for the wifes expy) if they work. Really a good find, wonder why Ford just doesn't supply the type you found... Much better, IMO.

 

That's fine, but some of us feel differently.

 

Is that fence you are riding causing undue chaffing?

 

Hey Thump/Scott... I found a new thread asking if the 09s would include an integrated key. This was a quote:

Guess it works. Going to buy now...

 

testing... can you see me?

 

Just bought it. Scott, you can buy through Paypal even if ya do not have coin in your Payal account. They take it out of your bank account. It takes a few days longer to ship...

I did not even price check, to see if I could get it cheaper... See Thump, I trust your comments.
