What did you do to your Super Duty today?
I just went to a local locksmith and they made me one for $3 dollars. You can have anyone make you one, like Home Depot, Ace Hardware etc.
It will unlock the doors and lockable storage but will not start the truck.
I then got a Hide-a-key and will place it somewhere on the outside of the truck but have not figured out where yet. I am also thinking about using a black zip tie instead of the Hide-a-key. That would definitely hold it better than a small magnetic box... as long as you have a knife to cut the tie!
It really gives me peace of mind knowing if I lock my keys inside to use the keypad and something electronic goes haywire, I can still get I to the truck.

Ordered a .5° camber bushing and a couple Denso COP's off of Rock-auto. Installed the bushing Thursday and had my Neighbor/Friend which works at Firestone take my truck for an alignment check. Much improved compared to a couple weeks ago. 90% of the front end is new, only need passenger tie rod, drag link and steering arm. 
Denso COP is same as OEM Motorcraft, except less expensive.
Moog box with SPC bushing. SPC is high quality stuff in the Import alignment market.

Whew... Glad that's done. This was far from the most difficult thing I've ever done, but it required some very awkward bending to get it done.
The coin organizer is gone...
For now, my red lighting in the grille is on #4 and that's it. Eventually I will have a 20" bar in the bumper cutout on #1 and some flush mount LED flood pods in the rear bumper on #2. #3 I will probably wire to the interior lights in the cap once it's installed, but that's just until a better idea comes along.

On my '04 I got used to keeping my wallet in that pocket, and I really liked it there. I wouldn't have installed these in my '04. But the coin organizer in the newer trucks is pretty pointless UNLESS your commute is on one of these turnpikes where you have to stop and deposit $.35 every 20 miles. Then I could see laying out all of your tolls before your trip.
On my '04 I put four generic switches over to the left of the steering wheel on that thin strip between the dash bezel and the panel that hides the fuse box.

not bad for $32 shipped. part number and link to the one i got at the bottom of this post for anyone interested. tonight ill get a pic of it light up, i may put the old one back on to get a comparison pic because i'm curious as well, i can tell the white lights in broad daylight are WAY brighter already, i can't imagine at night. i'm happy! compliments the 08+ tails nicely.
it's SLIGHTLY smaller than the old one, i took a pic so you can see the mark in the paint above it for anyone that may want to order this one. (Dorman 923-206; https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-923-20...rd+brake+light)
