My dealer says its $160 - does that sound right to you?

$160 for the KEY?? NO, I think the price should be like $100-110 or so at MSRP (I got mine at cost but I dont remember how much it was, I think like 65-75 maybe?)

If you have both your old keys, then you can do it yourself as you pointed out with the page from the manual. It would cost you about $160 to get a new key and have it programmed IF and ONLY IF you only have ONE key, as your other post to the instructions pointed out. They wont be in stock at any dealer yet, but they should sell it to you for far less than that.

Literally to program the key part, you open your door and get it with the door still open. Put in your first old key, turn to ignition then back to off. Take it out, put in your second old key, repeat. Then you put in the new key, repeat, and then after you take it out it is programmed. I had to do mine a few times to get it to take the code, not sure why, but it did (think it may depend on how long you leave the old keys in the ignition position).

THEN, test it and start the truck, once thats done, you need to program the remote part. (NOTE - You have to have ALL the remotes you want to use with you at the same time, or else only the ones you have with you will be programmed and the others wont work any more)

So, get both your old remotes and your new key/remote. Unlock the truck, open the drivers door and leave it open, then take one of your old programmed keys and put it in the ignition and turn it from OFF to full-on (ignition) and back to off 8 TIMES quickly, like it sounds like clack-clack-clak : clack-clack-clack : etc 8 times in a row. After the eight time leave it in the ignition position, and all the lock will lock and unlock to confirm youre in programming mode.
All you have to do is then press a button on remote 1, locks will go again to confirm, then repeat for every other remote.
When youre done take the key out and thats it!

Awesome man! Thanks for the write up. Now since your do on top of this find out if we can integrate the super duty key with remote start to the ford factory remote start system

Well, I asked some of the techs to see if it was possible and from what can tell it is not the same system unfortunately. That key I showed in post #20 DOES have a remote start button on it, for the 2011 SuperDuty, BUT that is the FIRST factory-installed remote start system so it is supposedly different than all the others (i have not been able to verify one way or the other though). I mean, it DOES start that truck, but the computer in the 2011 is totally different so who knows if it will work at all, you know?

The current remote start from ford DOES unfortunately require a totally separate fob (its a small one like half the size of the normal door remote) but unfortunately is then an extra thing on your keychain!)

It is frustrating, but I dont think ill be testing that out, lol, or I would have gotten the 4-button key to start with. I dont have any use for Remote start except for the "cool" factor so prolly wont be using it, but I will let you know if I hear anything or figure anything out.

Thanks for the info, I am thinking about ordering the 4 function version. I have the Ford version of the remote installed on my raptor. The only issue is the cost. I am hoping to get it at a discount. We will see. By the way I know the bi-directional capability will not be present on the 2011 super duty version. I will need to find out how to program the remote start portion, I don’t believe I have seen the instructions. I will let you know how it goes. If someone finds out before Monday about a different version that works let me know.

I ordered the 3 button version on Friday :smileup:

Does turn to ignition mean starting the engine

This would be an invaluable how to video. Every late model Ford owner could use this info.

With what factory fob? I am anxious to hear this. It's exactly what I would like to do.

I press the lock button twice, (the horn beeps twice) and it starts. I dont like the fact that the horn beeps every time I want to remote start it though. Thats why the superduty fob would be sweet if it will work with my system.

Is that a factory system?

no, aftermarket

I'm talking about integrating it to a factory remote start since that would be the mist likely to work with it. Though I would take what I can get.
