Automotive Keys 2017-2024 Ford F-Series / 5-Button Smart Key w/ Tailgate Vancouver

Ford calls its push button system Intelligent Access, and on the F-Series trucks built from 2017 to 2024 this five button fob is what it runs on. The fifth button is the one that sets this listing apart: it drops the tailgate from the fob, which matters on a truck that gets loaded every day. The other four are typically lock, unlock, remote start and panic, and we confirm the legend against the fob in stock when you call. Intelligent Access keeps the fob in your pocket, unlocks on the handle and starts on the dash button, and under the plastic the fob carries a transponder for PATS, Ford's immobiliser, plus the transmitter for the remote functions. A mechanical blade slides out for the driver's door in an emergency and that is the only cutting on the job. Everything else is programming, and our Ford page describes exactly where that happens: at the truck, through the diagnostic port, with the fob and the equipment on the van, and with nothing towed or ordered in. If you can drive to 4105 Macdonald St in Vancouver we pair it at the counter; if the truck is dead at a job site we come to it. With a working fob the spare is written alongside it. With no fob at all the PATS data is read out of the truck first, then a fresh fob is written and the missing one voided. Do not confuse this with a shell. A shell is the housing without electronics, the fix for a fob whose board is fine but whose case has split, and on a work truck that is common: the fob rides in a pocket with tools and screws, the seam opens, and the cell starts losing contact on rough roads. If your fob still works when held to the start button, ask about a shell swap first. Have the registration, your driver's licence and any working fob ready, and phone 604-734-7233 with the year and cab style to check stock.
