Replacement Flip-key FOB (2013 FFH)

[Johnboy]

I broke the original FOB where the key itself inserts into the FOB mechanism. Just wondering if anyone here has had luck with aftermarket, budget, Amazon-style replacements. The buttons still function on the FOB, so the circuitry is good; I just need to replace the key itself. I'd rather not pay Ford a zillion dollars for an OEM replacement.

 

Here's an example: https://www.amazon.com/2013-2016-Fusion-Keyless-N5F-A08TAA-164-R7986/dp/B07MRZWWGV/ref=pd_cp_263_1/142-2542515-0480627?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07MRZWWGV&pd_rd_r=b6a67411-f944-4e67-b221-593187e38e1b&pd_rd_w=UjzEO&pd_rd_wg=OoorH&pf_rd_p=0e5324e1-c848-4872-bbd5-5be6baedf80e&pf_rd_r=CSRXWBTRERGHG9ZKZ3WC&psc=1&refRID=CSRXWBTRERGHG9ZKZ3WC

 

Any insights would be appreciated.

Yes, I have gotten a key on ebay. Had a locksmith cut it and the dealer programmed it. Works fine.

What did that all cost you? Do you have a link to the specific FOB from Ebay? Thanks!

I know this is an old post, so just sharing this in case someone else more current stumbles across it looking for key/fob replacement alternatives. Our son just got a 2014 FFH that only came with 1 key fob. Dealership quoted him $275 for key (not sure that included programing or not). Saw advice above for buying elsewhere and getting it cut and programmed at a locksmith.

 

Got this 2 key fob set off Amazon for $33 out the door in Nov. 2023:

 

2013-2016 FFH Key Fob

 

Local locksmith charges $125 to cut and program both keys. They mentioned IF we had the original 2 keys we could program ourselves very simply in the cars ignition through a small multi step procedure, but since he is down to 1 key, we’d need a tool we don’t have. Just leaving this link and info here to help others down the road. Nearly half what the dealership was going to charge for 1 spare, and he will now have 2 spares.

Same here. My locksmith programmed it for me. Only issue is that both keys use the same code, rather than a different code like the second (and third) key would have when buying new.
