Which Keyless Entry Keypad to order for XL?

[Sinner]

Could you share details on the installation? activation?

Did it require dealer intervention (using Fordscan) to make it work?

I'm also curious.

I'm also curious.

Go here for directions on how to connect keyless entry keypad. Note, I think there are other companies that sell aftermarket keypads. I learned that if Ford installs at the factory, then the keypad is connected to the vehicle batter. The other option is a keypad that is taped to the vehicle with an internal battery that is NOT replaceable and last about four years depending on amount of use. Then, you have to buy and program another.

I am trying to figure out if go with the ford pad or another AND where to place the keypad on a Carbonized Grey XL.

I don't believe you can do it with Forscan, I'm 99% sure a dealer or at the very least a locksmith with the capability to program keys needs to do it. I believe Ford shows an install cost of $10 to do it on their website, I've been told that it literally takes a technician about 2 minutes to program it with their software and it's not available to do with Forscan.

Now I just need to find or wait for aftermarket power and heated mirrors!

I bought one for my XL, very handy when you want to leave your phone and keys in the truck and head out to play sports, etc.

How much did it cost is this something the dealer does as an add-on?

The part number is right there. kb3z-14a626-a

I've used these type of Ford keypads in the past. I have one mounted on the inside of my fuel door on my Escape right now. They come with a preloaded code which you can change to a code of your choice. They cost about $85

Synch with key fob and stick on the door with double sided tape. Pretty easy. No dealer required.

How do you sync it with the key fob? Thanks in advance.

So you get a battery version and one day you lock your keys and phone in the truck somewhere out in the wilderness on a hunting trip. The battery on the keypad dies and you cant use it. You are fucke%^ ?

Or is there a low battery light or chime?

I believe the battery is good for something like 4 or 5 years at least but wait for it: I believe the battery is not officially serviceable meaning that when it dies but a replacement. Apparently some people have performed surgery with cutting, etc but it sounds a bit shady.

so in theory, if there's no warning before it gives out, my above scenario could happen.

Absolutely, unlikely anytime soon after purchase but it could happen

You can do whatever you want but the XL offers a nice clean look without the keypad. I would never add that to my vehicle. You can use the ford app on your phone to lock and unlock your doors as well as remote start your Maverick regardless of trim level.

Who really wants to fumble with your phone to unlock/lock the doors? I go out to my mav to get/take something out and it's taken me a while to remember NOT to get/bring my keys with me cause I don't need to with the touch pad which I really like having now.

I don't think it's a secrete that FordPass is all about transitioning into monthly subscription services. Which is fine for those that want services, features and are willing to pay monthly for them.

Looks good. Wonder how it would look on a lighter colour though.
