Trackey Install for 2012 Boss 302
Hey All;
I was wondering if anyone could advise of a shop in the Northern VA, Washington DC, Maryland area that does the Trackey install? I'm ordering my voucher today and wanted to know of a shop who can atcually do the install. My dealers service dept isn't properly equipped to do the install, so I'm kind of in a "holding" pattern until I locate a shop. Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Ben

I hope to do the same thing soon. Where did you order your voucher from and what dealer did you go to initially?
I bought my Boss at Koons of Sterling, but I live in MD. I hope to find a dealer closer for the track key install.

Rob, Just FYI, I contacted Koons Ford in Annapolis and they advised they could do the track key for about 157.00. I called about 10 or so dealerships in the area and so far that's the cheapest, and them seem to know what they were talking about. I called Sterling Ford and the tech, was on lunch break and never called me back, so I have to follow up on that one today. I will keep you posted. I was surprised at how some dealerships didn't know what the track key app was! LOL

Stephen;
That's why I'm looking for the best deal on the install in n my area. If I can get lower than 157.00 I consider myself making out like a bandit! LOL

I just got off the phone with a tech at Waldorf Ford in Waldorf, Md and he advised me that the "install" of the track key would take 2 hours at a cost of 105 per hour, plus tax. The tech advised that they have done "a number of track key" installs. So I guess 2 hours in my "area" is the going rate if you already have the voucher.

My local dealer quoted around$150. I thought that seemed low compared to what I had heard. He told be the had done one recently and it took a little over an hour. I sure most dealers are charging for two hours of labor hence the 200-300 dollar prices

2 hr is to much, 1hr top even the instruction's that come with the voucher said 1hr, mine took 1hr 15min and i paid just for 1hr.

Just ordered my Track Key today. My dealer said $302 plus tax and $135 for install. I'm feeling a little bummed that I could have gotten it for $229.

The older I get...The more I just dig dealers. Probably like most of y'all, who are enthusiasts, I try and educate myself as much as possible on the vehicle I intend on purchasing. Well, I got a voice message this afternoon...It was my salesman. He said they had the Track Key kit in hand....and he "Was wondering if I wanted the service guys to install it??? They would have to charge me one hour labor...did I want them to install it?" I had to inform the salesman that paying $302 plus tax....and not having the software installed...was a waste of time and money......... since "I" could not install it myself because I don't have access to Ford's special website. Wow!!!! I have a loss of words beyond that ( Other than WTF are those guys thinking? ) Can't wait to pick up my new ride...hopefully Track Key will function properly .
