Take the key to a locksmith to get it cut. Not Home Depot, etc. That was my mistake.
You can do all the programming yourself though.

I must be a complete freaking moron. I can't find that antenna in my dash to save my life. The diagrams for the tsb are of no help to me. Does anyone have pics with an explanation of where to locate it? I have my wire ready to go to extend it above the headliner, just can't find the freaking thing. I know I'll feel like a moron when I finally find it. 2013 xlt f150

Got the same problem with my 2012 XLT. If any one is game I'll buy the parts and a case of beer for whomever can get it done.

Don't feel bad, it took me a while to find it on my '12. Once you do though you'll be kicking yourself since it's right in front of you. Wish I had some pictures to help, but it's there at the end of the dash on the passenger side. Just take the end cap off.

I think you've gone too far. Open the passenger door, remove the dash end-cap, get down low and look up and the connector should be there.

This is the connector I see when I open it up (notice the hvac pipe below it). The wire from that connector appears to run up into the a pillar.

.

Wider shot here. Same connector.

Open your glove box. Empty it. Find the rubber bumpers that are holding it from opening all the way and bend inward them so you can get the glove box to swing all the way open. You won't break it, that's how it's done.

The antenna is in a black plastic case at the top of the opening on the back side.

Is it where this connector plugs in? I can't feel any sort of removable case there....
