keys

Do all the new f 150's have the transponder key or is it just specific models? And has anyone gotten any from E-Bay?

All models of the 09 F150 require a programmed transponder (PATs) key to start. You can buy a key (with a chip), have it cut, then program the truck to accept it. The procedure is in the owner's manual.

I did it with a Fusion key off ebay. Its very quick and easy.

Thank you for the answer. Is the Fusion key a different type? I heard that one mentioned on another forum.
This is my first new vehicle and these things are all new to me.

I foundit on Ebay and through a little searching n forums. Ihave ordered my truck with remote start, so I am not sure if it will work for me. I have only seen the lock/unlock, trunk and panic buttons on them. Thanks again fro the input.

The Fusion key does not have the remote start function.

ok thank you. At least I know that I need the transponder key. after my truck comes in I will probably buy one off ebay(a lot cheaper than getting it through the dealer)

My local Lowes has the regular transponder keys. They even had a little electronic gizmo that confirms your existing key has one embedded. I dont recall the exact cost of their replacement but I believe it was less than $15.

They cut my Fusion key at no charge.
