OEM 5-Button Smart Key Fob Remote Compatible With 2017-2020 Ford F-Series Truck (FCC ID: M3N-A2C93142600, P/N: 164-R8166, HC3T-15K601-BB)

You will need:1. Paid Forscan license 12 bux (unpaid extended license does not include PATS key programming).2. Approved Forscan OBD dongle such as OBDLink EX USB, available on amazon.3. Wireless internet connection to your laptop for forscan license server check (I used my cell phone mobile hotspot).4. New key fobs that use the same frequency as your working fob. Open the case on your existing fob (use a flat blade screwdriver to slide the button in the back while cracking the case with a guitar pick or your fingernail). Use your phone to take a zoomed image of the FCC ID which is printed with a QR code next to the internal valet key on the top side where you pull the key out. Make sure that the fobs you buy match this number or they won't program.Make sure your car battery is near full charge before doing this. Make sure you have internet/wifi on your laptop. Connect your OBD dongle to the port under the dash on the driver side. Connect it to the USB on your laptop. Launch Forscan. Hit the push button start without your foot on the brake (you can also run with the engine running if you prefer). Click the connect icon lower left. Click yes when it identifies your VIN. Wait for it to read the modules. Click on the wrench and select the Body Control Module-- PATS key programming. Hit the play button. Select program new ignition key. Remove the rubber bottom on your cupholder. Insert the NEW key you want to program into cupholder slot. Follow onscreen instructions, select the 'Ignition key' option (not spare key option), follow the rest of the on screen instructions to program the key. Car lights will blink etc.I got a 'PATS returned error, but counter of the programmed keys has been increased' error BUT at that point I stopped and tried the buttons on the new key and they worked! Key fully works including remote start button. Entire price cost less than the key shop or ford plus you get the obd and full forscan.

Not 100% sure it’s OEM but it works perfectly.I bought this, because like many others my used 2018 F150 came with just one fob, the second one having been lost along the line. I did see some differences between this Amazon key and my actual OEM key.If you look at my pics, the Amazon key has is on the right with the red key ring. As far as quality of plastic, it seems to be the same as OEM. The key blank is also the same quality as OEM with all the proper microprinting on it. The buttons look and feel the same with the same clicky-ness.The differences are minor. One, as you can see the seam on the Amazon key seems to bulge out whereas the OEM key is a tighter fit. There is also a slight difference in the Ford logo. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is. Maybe it’s the color or the depth of the embossing but it just seems a little off. The most noticeable difference is the lack of the punch pin in the removable key. The pin is present on the OEM key and from what I can tell, it secured the key blank in the cap. This pin is absent in the Aamazon key, so I’m sure the key blank is just glued in, which is fine.That could mean this is a high quality clone, or it could simply be changed in the manufacturing process and it’s genuine. No way to know for sure.But the important part is it works. I was able to use Forscan to erase the lost admin key and reprogram both of these as admin keys. Even set my wife’s memory seat setting to her key and my memory setting to mine. I got the blank cut for $20 and it works in the door and consoles. Overall, $80 total cost between the key and getting the blank cut is a great deal!Highly recommend!!

Key was OEM I have another one look identical but has a different battery cover, this one I had a locksmith cut the key and program it to the truck was excellent and he fixed the other fob so now I have three fobs a little peace of mind, keep in mind some vehicles require two keys if your at a shop and need programming your going to need the second key with you

Worked as described. Took the fob to the dealer and was programmed. All functions work.
