Search programyourremote on eBay and type in your FCC number. I bought one from them for my 24 Flash, It is OEM, decent price, and programmed the first time.

If we are allowed to post links I can do that.

If you have issues finding the store let me know and I can PM you.
Links are fine to be posted. I tried and got nothing. I must be half a retard. ? (because you never go full retard!) anyway if someone can link to an oem 315mhz key fob with the remote start button id appreciate it.

AK018118 Aftermarket 315/433.92/434.26/868/902MHz 15K601 For Ford Mondeo Fusion Smart Remote Key 49 Chip M3N-A2C31243800 - AliExpress 34 #4 works for my 23. It has a trunk icon instead of tailgate but lock/unlock/remote start and tailgate works. One thing that got me is that you have to hit lock and then press the remote start button twice. My ram just requires you to press the remote start twice.

Anyone find one that can also open the frunk? I use that button a lot.

I don’t think it exists. That button is where the remote start button is. I use my frunk a fair amount but I don’t even carry the key sometimes since I have PAAK. I just use the button for the frunk.

Update: I see now this has already been discussed. Sorry for the repeat.

Member sstevetx mentioned this in a post about programming a key. I tried it and it works. It’s a cool capability so I’m pointing it out for everybody that’s interested.

If you program a key fob to your truck that has traditional remote start instead of the frunk button, you can remote start the truck just like an ICE F150. So, if you can’t start the cabin warmup with the app, you can start it from the key fob. It functions just as if you had started it from the app.

With the cold weather we’ve been having I’ve found that at very cold temps the BMS will shutdown several features to preserve the 12v SOC. This happens even when the 12v is at a high SOC - happened to my truck after 9 hours at work with the 12v at over 90% charge with outdoor air temps below -5F. One of the features that gets shutdown is the connected features modem. So, when I most wanted to preheat the cabin my app couldn’t connect.

If you decide to try it, make sure to pick a fob with the right frequency. My 24 Flash key fob is 433 MHz. Earlier trucks were 315 MHz. Best approach is to check your Fob FCC ID to confirm your frequency.
25 Flash is also 433 MHz. It's too bad we couldn't sub the tailgate button and keep the funk as mine don't have that any way.
