Those are easy as the IDS sees them as common add-on features with a check box. The previous version of IDS allowed for the keypad to be added via check box instead of reprograming the build data. There are some dealers that will say you may brick the system by doing this putting in a bad value. The IDS will simply reject value and you have to re-enter it. I am not a Ford Tech. I have taken the time to learn with a Ford Tech through trial and error on the IDS. The whole thing should take 20-30 mins including adding the remote start and Brake module. I did the exact thing you did on a 11 XLT SCREW.

Not a priority to get done but now I'm making it one to get done really soon. The guy here went back in the shop and told me a guy who had been around Fords for 60 years told him it wouldn't work ever. He went on the say be careful what the other dealership is telling you. Then I mentioned the forum and he said a lot of those guys don't know what they're talking about. He told me to get with him if I get it working because he doesn't believe it. Need to make an appointment.

If you take the time to understand build data and how the system works you will realize there is very little to be concerned about. Most techs won't take the time to understand. Btw the security code comes with all trucks whether they have the keypad or not. The dealer often throws that card out if there is no keypad on the truck. You can find your code under the passenger side kick panel. I wouldn't waste my time making a tutorial on something that won't work.
