HelloAuto Key Fob for Ford Flex Explorer Escape 2013-2017, Keyfob Replacement for Edge Focus Taurus, for Lincoln MKS MKT MKX Key Fob Shell Case Cover ( Just a Empty Key fob) M3N5WY8609

Needed the “case” for a key that had malfunctioning buttons - swapped out the circuit board from my old key and slid in the cut emergency key. Looked into replacement keys and that cost was ridiculous. For this price and a few minutes of work l, I couldn’t be happier.

More than I expected for the cost. I should have ordered 3 when I ordered the 1st one. It’s certainly a great product at the price

My new 2015 Explorer came with 2 fobs. The first fob no longer opened the rear hatch, as I describe below in my 1st review from 2021. That replacement fob is still working fine. Fast forward to today, and my older 2nd fob acted intermittent, sometimes not being recognized by the vehicle. That's a problem if you are away from home. So I popped open that fob and similar to my other fob, one of the silver disks was missing, this time for the panic button. However, I found that little silver disk inside the fob, silver side down, stuck to the circuit board. It was stuck over 2-3 solder spots, thus basically shorting out the circuit board. I removed that little disk, reassembled and the fob seemed to be back to normal. I still ordered this blank fob just in case another silver disk might come loose. How many people had a fob quit and order a new one from the dealer for $400+ not knowing a little silver disk inside was the problem that could be fixed with this $15 blank fob? Glad I found this product. For those of you wanting the Ford logo, the backs of my original fobs fit perfectly with this replacement and still looked like new (the back has no chrome trim). This repair was just as easy as replacing a battery in a fob, so don't worry about assembly. I also reused by old valet key - your choice to cut a new one with the key blank that comes with this. 1st review from 2021 My fob for my 2015 explorer has the open rear hatch button quit working. Taking the fob around, I noticed the little "plunger" for each function and the one over the hatch had disappeared. Not sure where it could go. So I found this replacement. I kept the back of my original as this replacement fob does not have the Ford logo on the back. Not a big deal over all. Kept the circuit board (obviously) and the back. My fob now looks brand new. All functions work fine. This was a perfect solution for my problem. As long as you have the original working circuit board, this replacement case will work.

Do NOT buy this product !!! In my opinion this company is using deceptive advertising, and after communicating with them I get the feeling that this includes deliberate fraud. Note that their advertising says: “Self-programming requires you to have at least one working smart key. Please send your ORDER ID and we will give you a programming video. If you don't have another working key, or you can't program it successfully yourself. You need to find a qualified locksmith or dealer to help you to programme it.” Plus, they say: “If you have any questions such as missing parts, received damaged, wrong item, won't install, etc. We will provide you a solution within 24 hours.” So they say that only one existing key is needed to use their product, but they will not provide programming instructions until AFTER you have purchased their product. I made that purchase and then had to e-mail them TWICE to get a response. When they finally responded, their reply sent me a URL to a YouTube video that requires the use of specialized electronic equipment which costs in excess of $2500. I wrote to the company a third time, pointing out that following their procedure would cost over 12 times as much as buying a pre-programmed key from a dealer, and no rational person would do that. Their response was: “We have found the programming video corresponding to your car model, this is a common programming video, I have confirmed to other customers that this video can be programmed according to the prompts. If it still doesn't match,Please tell us the model and year of your car, The other way is，When the product can not be successfully programmed, you can solve the problem through the following methods, which is relatively low cost. 1. You can take it to a key shop where you can program. 2. Call a locksmith and With one working fob they can program the new one.” The bottom line here is that self-programming their product if you have only one functional existing key requires you to spend several thousand dollars, and their “solution” to this is to take their product to a locksmith and pay for it to be programmed. This is exactly what other companies are honest enough to say in their advertising. I plan to return this purchase to Amazon, and suggest that you avoid dealing with this company, as I find their honesty questionable.

One of the buttons got stuck and ultimately failed on the fob of my 2017 Ford Flex. I called the dealership and they wanted $200 to replace the fob. Instead, I ordered this one, put the PCB and battery from my old one into this one, and sealed it back up. Works great, and saved $185. Found lots of tutorial "how-to" videos online to do the swap, but it was super easy. Now all my buttons work again. Update: The battery on my fob just died (I should have replaced it when I swapped the guts of my original one into this one) so I had to reopen the new fob and replace the battery. My goodness, what a battle! The fob's rear cover came off in two pieces (instead of one) and the sliding button that releases the key went flying. Getting the second half of the cover unsnapped was quite the fight. I was finally able to remove it and replace the battery, but the sliding switch didn't go back in correctly and I suspect the next time I have to swap the battery I'll have to destroy the fob to open it. That being said, if I have to buy a new one at $10 every couple of years that's still better than giving $200 to Ford for an OEM replacement.

Works perfect, i bought with chip to Nigeria during chritmas to use on my ford edge 2011

Great product and fast shipping

Save your money with this excellent item

Purchased shell only - no chip - easy swap of internals and physical key - easy to snap together - works perfectly.

This was EXACTLY what I needed to replace my existing Ford Escape fob. The function buttons weren't working properly - but the electronics (circuit board) inside seemed fine. I ordered this "empty" replacement (no electronics inside), popped my circuit board into it, and voila, it works perfectly like a brand new Ford fob! As long as your electronics are OK, there's no need to pay well over $100 to have Ford make a replacement. So happy I did this.
