Keep it. Some guys have relocated it, like to inside the fuel filler door. I painted mine and it looks a lot better. It is a very underrated feature of Fords in general.
I spec'd it out on my special order, I am reasonably certain the factory is going to stick it onto the door.Keep it. Some guys have relocated it, like to inside the fuel filler door. I painted mine and it looks a lot better. It is a very underrated feature of Fords in general.
Which brings up another question, how is this door mounted pad receiving power?
I agree that the pad it not pretty to look at, but it works great and is really convenient. Lots of times I find myself doing something in the garage and want to get something out of/put something into my truck but don't have my keys with me at the moment: bingo, punch in the code, and do my business without having to fetch the keys. Highly recommended!
As long as you didn't get part of the bad batch. Mines been broken 75% of the life of the truck, still waiting on replacement part.
I don't doubt the usefulness of the system at all, there's been other Ford products in the family stable that's
Did you mean to say that it's functioned properly just 75% of its time in service?
The option I went with (and has been working really well), assuming you have a hitch - a hitch safe (http://hitchsafe.com/). The fob is so big I have to pull out the separate key from the fob and put those keys inside the truck and then put the fob in the hitch safe. I do this when hiking so I don't have to worry about losing my keys while hiking. On my last truck I had a hide a key box with a spare key (which I had to use once), but these fobs are like $300, so I went with the hitch safe and it has worked really well for me.
