2011 key / keyfob on 2008 - 2010 trucks

[AW794]

Can anyone confirm that the 2011 keys can be programed to work on the 2008-2010 trucks? Im interested in doing this mod.

The key will program but the remote might not. The 11 computer programs the remote when it programs the key. The 10 and down remotes program on board. If the fcc code is different it wont program for sure.

Oh this would be perfect, the fact that Ford has these crap keyfobs is a joke...my 02 bmw had integrated key and fobs. I would be all over this mod!

I think it can be done. If it were me trying to do this I would try to program the remote before I cut the key. If you can't get the remote to program at least you can resell the key.

Good point. Is the dealer the only place to get the remotes programed?

Ford remotes can be programmed onboard yourself.

Its what we call a remote head key. The fob is part of the key head. I don't like them. They are to bulky and cost double what they would if they were separate. I have a remote start alarm so I couldn't use it any way.
