Installing Keyless Entry Keypad?

[thecwag]

First post! I ordered the Keyless Entry Keypad for my 2024 XLT and it arrived. Am I able to program it myself or do I need to bring it to the dealer and pay for an install? If you know how to program it please let me know. Thanks!

I had the dealer install and program ours on our 24 Lariat Hybrid. All I had to do was set a personal code done from the keypad and choose the location I wanted it. In looking at the instructions that came with ours I don't see a way to program it to the truck. Maybe others can chime in for how that is done. I do love the added functionality that this provides.

Once my FordPass Points come in, I'm gonna order one and have it placed on the door sill like it was when it was standard.

Even though the numbers will be rotated 90 degrees?

Yep, doesn't bother me. I'm sure you could make stickers that would change it, haha.

How much the dealership charge you for the installation?

It was 230 total for the part that included installation and programming. And we got to choose the location.

Jesus... $120 keypad and $110 to install/program. SMH

Cannot program it yourself unless you have the Ford Diagnostic Tool and know how to use it. The dealer is going to get 1 hour labor minimum and I do not blame them.

The old system was do it yourself, but that ended a number of years back.

I think these new ones come in gloss black as well as textured. Sure glad I got the wired one on my 23. Use it a lot.

My dealership want minimum 1 hours labor charge for $199 I really stupid bought the Key pad wireless entry with can not return even you are not open yet ????????? Ford accessories. So any one beware fully to buying anything from them ,now I have to look around Ford dealership services for cheaper labor for that install!!!!!!!! LESS THAN $100 TO INSTALL PROBABLY ACCEPTABLE BUT $200 IT OUTRAGEOUS

Absurd that they should get an hour as it can be done in less than 10 minutes by any semi-competent tech. That's why the ford accessory site even states 0.2 hours of labor for the job. Charging an hour labor either means the tech is incompetent or the dealer is scummy or both.

I blame any dealer that charges a hour minimum for that job. I bought a new key fob two dealers told me 3 hours minimum the dealer I chose told me 15 minutes.

I'm getting one put on my truck that is due in a few weeks, even if the dealer wants to pad the install time...
Why? This is why?

My dealer quoted $24 for the install and programming. Paying over $100 for installation is a complete ripoff.

I just let it slide with our dealership who charged 230 including installation and programming as they gave us 3000 more on our trade in than expected which also cut down the sales tax.
