Keyless Entry
My 2011 F150 did not come with Keyless Entry so I purchased Fords alternative which is a number pad that sticks to the door above the handle and acts basically like a key fob.
I asked my dealer if I just purchased the new door handles with the keyless built in if they can just add the module to the board and connect it.
Faster than I could finish the service Manager said no with out even discussing it.
Has anyone else out there though of this mod and tried to do it? Any other comments or thoughts?
I'd really like to do this if it is somehow possible. My parts guys is going to try and get service to call Ford Tech but he didn't have a lot of faith that they would.

I've done lots of google research on this topic and found the following:
There is factory harness to plug in behind the handle, and the buttons receive power (and light up) the "master" key code included in the owners manual will not work...
Several folks brought the truck to the dealer and had the "Smart Junction Box" accessed and got an error message when trying to enable the keypad. Not sure if a bunch of BS or what. Please let me know if your parts guy comes up with a solution, I'd be interested in this myself

I added the same digit pad to my daughter's 2010 Focus as it did come factory equipped with the key pad. I asked the dealer the same question and was also told no.
I don't like the looks of the aftermarket Ford digit pad, it stands to proud of the door handles and sheet metal and it can be stolen.
