Purchasing and Programming another FOB

[skuker]

Strangely Fullerton said they would not program mine because it wasn’t purchased by official Ford parts. I may have to call back and just lie lol

Fullerton programmed mine with no question the bag I gave them even had the 3rd Party logo on it. The Fob and key were in factory sealed packaging though.

My dealer has ordered me a 2nd fob, at his cost, because of the stated PAAK issues. I suspect Ford will change to 2 fobs soon.

What did you pay for your 2nd FOB? My dealer said they were going to do the same but then the cost came to $600.....

Glad to hear, they have been great with the MME, including support for the community. Any dealer who balks really is just pissed they didn't sell it first.

I think the dealer cost for a new FOB is ~$40

I am not paying for it.

Oh, ok. When you said "At his cost" I thought you meant he was selling you one at his cost price. Glad you're getting it for free!

Just ordered a second fob from my dealer. $210 plus tax. Until PaaK is reliable I need this.

I hope that includes programming?

Should be $75 for the exact original OEM FOB and $75 - $100 to program by the dealer.

Yes includes programming.

it’s actually two Ford part numbers: the fob for $160 and the emergency key insert for $50. Must order both together. It is not a standard Ford fob as the dealer had none in stock.

Ford part numbers 164R8310 and 164R8311

While I won't profess any knowledge of the dealer updating process for the Mach-E, using their IDS system on "normal" cars would take a tech at most 10 minutes to add a key, if he was going slow. Prior to Sync 4, one could use FORScan to add a key themselves.

A dealership charging an hour's labor to add a key, or more, is simply outrageous, especially the SELLING DEALER.

and the emergency key insert for $50.

I think this can be safely deleted. The Mach-E does not have a slot to insert one .

It's an easy process, dealer service centers are there to take ones hard earned dollars.

That's what business is all about. Separating the consumer from their money. ?

Please don't pay $50 for the blank key insert. You can get the same thing for $8.95.

Aah! The 2 zeros at the end of your first post threw me off. Looks like exact match should work.

I will find out today at my service appointment. Says it was from a 2018 explorer and the main reason I chose it was because it had the ford logo so my wife and I can easily grab the right key programmed to our profile. She is barely 5'2" and I'm 6' so our seat memory is pretty different ?
