Glad to hear. Couple of hours is a bit high. Took me less than 30min. But took me a few hours and a couple of vin's to figure it out.
So after numerous google searches and post's read, and no help from Tech Hotline. You can install factory keyless entry and program it, you will
need an IDS, or firend at a dealer to program it. For those of you with remote keyless entry and no door pad your BCM as built for block 15 looks like this : BCM 726-15-01 0000 0101 45. For those with keypads the block is this BCM 726-15-01 0001 0101 46. That is all that needs to be changed. It is the same on super duty's as well. Should work on 11 and 12's. Enjoy!

is ther a service tech in the St. Louis, MO area willing to get my keypad doorhandle working for me as when I called the dealership they gave me the response others have got that it cant be done I can only have the dumba#* stickon kind!
I should have been a service manager at a dealership, cause the ones near me are total fricken Morons, there either dumb & lazy, or too stupid to run their own equipment! I mean can it really be that hard to get a keyless keypad working!!!

It seems that the current crop of "techs" (sorry, in the America I grew up in they were known as mechanics) don't know anything about repairing vehicles except to follow the procedures they were taught. If the vehicle does A you check B to repair problem C. If the stated repair procedure does not work they have no clue what to do. My brothers 2011 F350 took them a week to fix the blower motor due to a bad wire pin. I guess they could not trace the power wire to see where it stopped. Not in the manual. I am sure there are still good techs out there, just none at my local dealers and maybe not at yours either.

I mean really, its like no one at the dealers nowadays care, or are they good at the job they do! no offense to any mechanics on the site, but if I worked at a dealership and couldn't fix or repair anything anyway other then how stated by the co. I'm employed by, its likie how do 1/2 these guys stay employed!!! Guess they just need bodies to fill timecards.... Sorry but I had to vent...

Well, once we finally punched in the right numbers, it worked flawlessly! Thanks EcoboostXLT!
For those who struggle with reading as I apparently do... There are two digits that needed to be changed. Not just the 5->6 at the end.
BCM 726-15-01 0000 0101 45 (no keypad)
BCM 726-15-01 0001 0101 46 (with keypad)
If you try to enter 0000 0101 46, you'll go crazy when IDS rejects your repeated attempts.
