I can't be the only person who thinks about dong this or tried same... I have a 2013 F150 & have previously activated my factory Remote-Start feature in the BCM & IPC using Forscan. I also purchased a Key-Fob on Amazon, which has the remote-start button on it & successfully programmed it to the truck. All works great, but...

I am now wanting a Flip-Key. Problem is, the only 4-Button flip-key I can find with my same FCCID# is an upgrade for the S197 Mustang, so that of course means it has a Trunk Button instead of a Remote-Start Button.

Considering the trunk button is a "double press" as is my remote-start button & the other 3 buttons (lock, unlock, panic) are the same, do you thing this Mustang key-fob would work in my truck? Big question, would the trunk button operate as remote-start in my truck?


This is the 4-Button Key I am currently using;


This is the 4-Button Flip-Key upgrade for the S197 Mustang, I am considering;

You'll notice looking at the above Flip-Key that the FCCID# is different. However, the listing says it interchanges with my FCCID# & both operate on a 315 MHz frequency. I can't really find Info on the "bit" ratings though?

Has anyone successfully programmed a Flip-Key to their 2013-14 F150

 

Zero problem programming 3 of them to my '07 KR....BUT no remote start

 

I've also been around the key-programming block recently.
I started with the remote start upgrade (same as you).
Used those keys for a month or two.
Then wanted a flip key.
Ordered one; programmed fine; but no remote start.
I haven't found one yet...

 

Exactly what I was afraid of. Assuming u have a 2011 though.
Does your Fob have a Trunk Button & what does it look like (web-link)??

 

This is the flip key I ordered (yes, has a trunk button):

 

2nd time this has been investigated only to wind up in failure. The no r/s option killed the idea for me years ago when it was first visited.
.

 

Maybe if one is using one of the two way remote starts where you don't use the stock keyfob?

 

Back when I 1st tried this all I had was the key r/s. I do now have the cell phone option but still use the key sometimes. Since that time and now I've lost interest in the flip key.

Now if there were a way to use that trunk button for something like retractable machine guns or ejection seat it might be of interest lol.
.

 

Now... THIS is a great idea!

 

do you have to buy anything other than the key to use remote start?
