SA versus S keys
It is not a question of an SA key taking both types of encryption - it is a question of "Does the Ignition Switch accept an SA key?" My truck's ignition is an "S" key ignition. And SA key has an extra ridge in the center of the key and the center dip itself is slightly wider. So an SA key won't even turn in the ignition. (Which I told Flagship One about that.) They sent me the same SA keys back and said "Just use them" until they talked to MacHaike Ford (I forget if it is MacHaick or MacHaik or MacHaike). The guy at MacHaike told them a 40bit system is installed in my truck so they need to load the same kind of system a 2005 truck would use. But what did their "expert" programmer do? Installed an 80bit program. Sorry - doesn't work. It is so simple t ounderstand. If you have a 32bit OS and you install a 64bit program - it won't run on the 32bit OS. But a 64bit OS will run both 32bit and 64bit programs. My truck is a 32bit OS - FlagShip One is trying to run a 64bit program on a 32bit OS and it will never work.

Excellent!
I am glad yours worked. Mine did not. Under high res scan you can see the difference between the SA key they sent and the S key from my truck. The difference is the year model. You have a 2007. I had a 2006. The S key for my 2006 did not look like the SA key they sent. My thinking is - my 2006 was a 2005 with a new sticker on it saying it was a 2006.
The thing is - the Ford Dealerships told them I needed an S key and could not use an SA key. So there must be a reason why and I think that reason is - is that really my 2006 was a left-over 2005 that Ford just slapped a 2006 tag on it. I don't really know and since I don't have the truck anymore I will probably never find out.
But the thing you have to wonder about is why did the Ford Dealership say my truck would only use S keys?
S keys are 40bit encryption. Therefore????
See - if you use logic - then the first thing leads to the next which leads to the next and so on.

First, I never got to sue the company. Hurricane Harvey destroyed all evidence I had. Second, I had to have my right leg amputated. Recovering from that. So I have given up on this and am concentrating on rebuilding my house, :-(

Flagship one beware
I ordered a Ecu for my 2001 ford club wagon. When I installed it the Van Idled at 1800 rpm. When I contacted Mohammad A he sent me a warranty form which I sent back and they confirmed receipt. Everywhere else you buy a defective item they send you a shipping label and they send you a new item or a refund. What’s with the warranty form? Anyway, I waited a week and called them. They sent me another form to fill out and said they received it. I waited another week and called. They said I was responsible for shipping there defective product back for evaluation.
They don’t stand behind their products.

Don't do it!!!!!!
Don't do it. Bad company! Take your money fast! Ships slow! PCM faulty! Will leave you stranded! Keys won't work. They program and will randomly stop working and leave you stranded. They will not help! They will lie and say someone to contact you and they won't. My truck still is not running. And they will not give you your money back. Don't trust the positive reviews!!!!!! They made them up!!!!

Purchased 2 parts from this company a Engine control module and a Totally integrated Power distribution module (TIPM). we first received a TIPM that was obviously from a junkyard and 4 pins were corroded off and was obvious it wasn't going to work and had to send it back 2 times before receiving a good unit. The Engine control Module (ECM) however looked good but it was creating a problem we didn't have before. I sent it back to them and they sent me another ECM which also didn't work. I called them and they said they were sure the ECM was good they and I should send it back for them to test it. I did and they assured me it was a good unit. So we sent it to the Dodge dealer to see if they can verify the problem. After 2 weeks of testing and trying other components they still said the ECM was still bad. So I purchased another ECM from another company and guess what all the problems are gone. I called them today to send the ECM back to get refunded as this is an obviously a bad part, and they will not refund my money and will only offer store credit. I will NEVER buy another product from this pathetic excuse for a business. I just want my money back as I never received a usable part from them!!!!!

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM! PAY ATTENTION TO THE REVIEWS.I made a big error in trusting this company with such bad reviews. I purchased a pcm that was supposedly a plug and play unit.
I paid for a flashed pcm which I did not receive. After installing the unit I had to have my vehicle towed to a shop and pay for them to flash the unit.
After contacting them I received a response claiming that according to my warranty they take no responsibility and refuse to reimburse me for the unnecessary charges I had to outlay.
