I'm looking into acquiring a spare intelligent access remote key for my F150 2016 Lariat.

It the 5 buttons remote.

I've found some on ebay but one of the code dont match up.

My remote has the following code "F3LT-15K601-GC".

The ones on ebay have the following code "F3LT-15K601-GB".

So the last letter is different. But the other codes, IC, FCC are identical.

Are these key compatible ?

Is the "B" and older revision perhaps than my "B" ?

 

I got mine from Amazon for my 13. My locksmith told me to stay clear of eBay and go with Amazon.

 

I recently bought a used 5-button remote off ebay but mine had F3LT-15K601-GC. It is my understanding that as long as the FCC ID is the same it should work fine.

 

Watch Ebay. Bought a new remote with blank key (inside remote) from a locksmith who was selling them for $50. Originally from a wrecked Explorer. Exact replacement. Had the key cut by a local locksmith for $10.

 

I know that I can program a new key in my truck if I already have two working ones...

But I thaught I had to go to the dealer to cut the new key... A simple local locksmith can do this ?

 

yes, way cheaper than dealership.

 

The local locksmith cut my key for $10. But you need to find one with the equipment.....I think it's called a Sidewinder. Also a local hardware store has the cutter. My dealer suggested checking with the locksmith since they needed to order the key from Ford using the VIN. Cost was $85. Remote with cut key from Ford is about $350

 

I bought one from ebay, then programmed it myself. I stopped by my dealer and had a new spare full sized key and a small key for the fob for $15 including the keys and cutting.

 

Was your original key a "F3LT-15K601-GC" ?

Was the one you bought on ebay the same code ?
