Keyless Entry Smart Remote Key Fob Replacement for Ford Bronco 2021-2023 Edge Explorer 2017-2022 Escape 2010-2022 Maverick 2022 Ranger XLT, FCC ID: M3N-A2C931426, P/N: 164-R8182, 164-R8297

After hearing dealer prices from someone who was down to one key, picked this up to have a third key to self program if one was lost. Programming didn't take the first couple of times but worked immediately after changing batteries, though that may have just been random. After programming decided to 3d print a smaller case for daily commuting rather than have the key cut. This was for a 2022 Maverick Lariat, could be wrong but believe another FOB is needed if not push to start.

Bought this and have been using about 2 weeks now. Working well. Using it as a spare for kids.

Ford over the last few years has moved key replacement in house. This means they want Ford dealerships to sell you the key, coding the key and cutting the blank. Key blank providers like this one are playing 'catch up' when trying to provide keys for Ford and other vehicles.In my case, 2022 Ford Bronco Sport (horizontal keyway), the key purchased here could not be matched to the car (coding, cutting) by either the Ford dealership or a 3rd party. The key did not have a Ford serial number that the dealership technician could use to program it.Sadly I'm too late to return the key to Amazon.Bottom line: know that there is a risk you cannot code the key to match your vehicle. If you buy an off-brand key, try to get it coded immediately so you have time to return the key if it cannot be coded to your vehicle.

Great purchase and recommend to all my friends with Broncos as a 3rd spare key. This says you need it professionally programed, however, as long as you have the original two key fobs, you don't have to. I bought a very similar fob on Amazon for my 22 Bronco but it showed no longer available. It was about $10 more so I was a bit reluctant to buy this one for my 2024 Bronco Heritage. It took me a few tries, but finally got it programmed. Just follow some of the YouTube Videos out there. Pretty simple. As a side note, it didn't work immediately, even though the Bronco said 'program successful. It took a couple minutes to actually work.

Great price, fast shipping. Item is as described.

Returned, I could not program this myself.

Picked this up as a backup key fob for my 2024 Bronco Big Bend and it works great. I haven’t had the physical key cut yet, but the remote start, lock/unlock, and everything else functions just like the original. No issues so far.Just a heads up — you really need to follow the instructions exactly and move fast or it won’t work. You need two working keys already, and all the steps have to happen within 30 seconds. Here’s a simplified version of what I did:Make sure all doors are shut (and stay shut).Put the first key in the backup slot. Hit Start/Stop.Wait 5 seconds, hit Start/Stop again, remove first key.Drop in the second key. Same thing — Start/Stop, wait, Start/Stop again, remove it.Pop in the new unprogrammed key and press Start/Stop.If you don’t get it right the first time, wait 10 seconds and try again. Took me two tries but it worked.It’s a great deal for the price — just know what you’re doing or be ready to follow the steps closely. Honestly feels just like the OEM fob once it’s programmed. Make some extras and toss them in a safe. If you only have 1 key - you will have to pay Ford like $500 to reprogram your system and give you a second key, so do yourself a favor and get this.

Got these to increase the available keys I had for my Ford Maverick. There were super easy to program (the vehicle has a special place/mode to program keys.... very nice feature). No issues with these after roughly a year. I used one of the online key cutting services to cut the physical key (from a photo). After one redo, they worked. So for about $45 total, I had a fully functional replacement key.
