Key Fob Replacement Compatible with Ford Explorer Expedition 2018-2022 Edge 2...

Lost the original fob for our Explorer and rather then pay dealer prices for a replacement plus programming fees, ordered this one and figured I'd try programming it myself first before caving and booking an appointment. Fit is accurate, size and shape match the factory fob closely enough that it sits comfortably in a pocket or on a keyring without feeling bulky or off compared to the original. Appearance is close too, buttons laid out the same way so there's no relearning where anything is, doesn't look like an obvious aftermarket part. Features all worked as expected once programmed, lock, unlock, remote start and panic button all responding reliably, haven't had any dropped signals or delayed responses reaching for the door. Programmability was the part I was most nervous about, but following the steps for our specific model year it paired up without needing a dealer visit or special equipment beyond what's outlined in the instructions. For the price compared to what the dealer wanted for a replacement plus programming, this saved a significant amount of money doing it ourselves, real value for anyone comfortable following a step by step guide. Only complaint is the instructions could be a little clearer on the exact programming sequence for our specific year, took two attempts to get the timing right. Great replacement fob, works just like the original for a fraction of the dealer cost.

Looks exactly like the OEM. Programmed in less than a minute. But it did require two original fobs to program the third.

Try changing the battery!! It’s soldered in. My husband had to pry the metal cover off which completed the circuit. He put in a new battery and was able to save enough of the metal cover to re-complete the circuit. Don’t have a lot of faith in this job. Don’t buy if you have to pay someone to program it. I only had one key so had no choice to program myself.

I took this key fob to the dealer to get it programmed as an admin key. I recently purchased the 2020 Corsair and accidentally changed the only key they gave me into a MyKey. Normally a MyKey is for valet or for you to give to a teenage driver. What that does is limit certain things while driving like radio sound volume limited to 40% and speed limited as well. This keeps a teenager more focused on the road and not the music and makes sure they don't go too fast. That's all fine but you can't change and have the car remember some settings like with the driver assist controls or the seats. This worked like a charm giving me a second admin key on the cheap while also enabling the dealer to reprogram my original key as an admin key. *Note - as a software developer I found this odd and argued with the service department at first. It made no sense to me however their system can program a blank key to an admin key if it's the only key you have. But it cannot program a MyKey to an admin key without another admin key. I didn't understand why a blank key could be programed as an admin key by itself, but you can't blank a myKey and program it as a MyKey without an admin key. What is Lincoln afraid of that teenagers are going to driver to the dealership and pay to have the key reprogrammed? I will say my local Ford dealer charged me $89.99 to program the remote/key combo. If I'd purchased a key at Lincoln, it would have been $250 plus another $149 to get it programmed.

Easily programed by locksmith and works as well as the original

For those who say they cannot get the battery out, you have to separate the 2 halves to get to it. Just use a screwdriver and pop them apart. Then slide the battery out.

Took the new key fob for my 2023 Explorer to batteries plus. Charged $80 to program and $20 to copy the door key. Works great!! This would have cost several hundred more if I went through the manufacturer

Worked great for my 2022 Expedition! Here are the correct programming instructions and it will save you a trip to the dealership ***but you must have both original Ford key fobs for this to work*** Get in the vehicle and close the door, find the key fob programming slot, mine is in the cup holder under the rubber mat, I've heard some are in the console. Stick key fob #1 in the hole, press the start button without your foot on the break, wait for ignition chimes to stop beeping, then turn off. Do the same step with original key fob #2. Repeat this process a 3rd time with the new replacement fob. As soon as you hit the ignition button the 3rd time, the emergency flashers with blink and you will get the message in the dash. Done.

The phobe was exactly what I needed, the dealer was sceptic at first but did the setup and it works
