Re-using a FOB
My previous truck, a 2021 F250 Lariat with pushbutton start was totaled (previously discussed in this forum). My replacement truck is a 21 f250 King Ranch with pushbutton start.
I have one of the FOBs from the old truck in my possession. Can it be reprogrammed as a spare for my replacement truck.
I promise I did a search in the forum and on the internet and most of what I saw was programming the key-type setups, not the pushbutton starts.

I wonder if the procedure for programming an un programmed fob would work. Probably wouldn't hurt to try. It requires that you have 2 currently programmed fobs, I assume you do.
I know it's a 150 but the process should be the same.

Instructions are in the SECURITY SECTION of the owner's manual. You can buy the hard key (emergency key to open the door) for about $12 each and have the dealer cut the keys for you. Sometimes the parts department did mine for free and recent;y they charged me $5 for each key cut when I brought a blank key to them with an already cut key. If they don't know you they may ask for a copy of your registration before cutting the key to make sure your not a Bad Guy.
The key blank part number is 164-R8168 link to order a key blank. I've bought from these guys several times. https://www.carandtruckremotes.com/f...164-r8168.html
