Only downside is tiny loop on bottom. Nothing fits

I actually seperated the 2 halves of the key and laid it in the silver part then put it back together. Been going well for 3+ months, very strong.

So for anybody who gets this key, its easier to open it and use small chain.

Yay! Finally. At first they were like "that's a cool key but its not gonna work...it don't have chip. Where did u get it. Our machine wont cut it..blah blah blah"
I told them I knew a bunch of guys who had the exact same key and it worked. I didn't tell them that they were all from this forum. Lol
They actually cut n programmed both the flip n the generic one I got for $45 total. Different dealership was gonna charge me $80. It took em forever tho. About 1 hr.

It's really not that much bigger than a stock all in 1 Ford key, they are about the same thickness and when the key is folded in it is shorter than the stock. My wife drives a Flex and I have compared them as that was what I was originally going with.

Got mine a few days ago, went to Lowes and gave them the blank out of the remote body, and they cut it for free. But they did specify that it was not guaranteed to work, as obviously they could not replace the blank if it didn't work. Luckily it did, and then put the blank back into the housing with a bit of Blue Locktite, then programmed the truck to recognize bothe the key and the remote. Viola both work like a charm. Then I took the body back apart and installed a small keyring into the chrome attachment point. Took a bit of finese, but it worked without having to mangle it. I also thought about using a different small ring that I could spread open to install, then press shut with a pair of needle nose, but didn't have to go that route, so all is good but thought maybe someone else would like the idea. Anyway here is a pic of mine with the small keyring installed...
