On my new one I used some blue Locktite and so far everything is still tight.
DANNNNG are those black things screws??? Thanks for the heads up... They are so small I cant even see them with my contact lenses in... Where is my magnifying glass LOL.. Are they a small phillips head? I'll put some locktite on them this afternoon if I can get them out. The only issue i've had with the key is that it's pretty tricky to get the buttons re-aligned when you open it to change the battery. Other than that, it's top notch.

I got mine cut at Ford Dealer this afternoon. The parts guy was leery, saying it was too long. I had him cut it anyway and it turns out he was right. If I push the key in all the way and then pull it out to just the right spot it will start the car. It is very difficult to find the sweet spot. Anyone else have this problem?

Look what (finally) arrived!!!

So guess what finally arrived in the mail today:









Yes, the stem is longer on the Flip Key vs. the OEM key:



Neither Home Depot or Lowes would cut it for me - they both said they didn't have the correct cartridge for their key cutting machine. I'm going to a pro locksmith tomorrow and see what he can do.

Mine is in the mail currently, but I plan on taking it to Home Depot first to see if they can/will cut it. For what it's worth, my local dealership quoted me $8 to cut the key. I think that's a little steep, but I don't know of any local locksmiths. Just make sure that they don't program it for you also...They quoted me $80 to cut and program 1 key.

I had mine cut at lowes for free. The guy helping me said that it was too long, but I said to cut it anyway. I have no issues at all.

Mine works if you find the sweet spot. I will take a wire wheel to it and see if that helps.

My new Flip Key works PERFECTLY!!!

Ok, gang, here's the final skinny - This key works PERFECTLY in my 2014 GT Premium. Total cost: $24.89. Shipping was a tad slow, but for the price....

Here's what I did from start to finish:

1) I programmed my remote to the car. This took me two tries. The first time, I had the driver's door closed and it didn't work. Second time, I had the driver's door open, and it worked like a charm! Directions are HERE.

2) Took the key to a locksmith (NOT Home Depot or Lowes - both of mine said they couldn't do it). He had the old-fashioned dual-key grinder thing, put in my factory key, my new flip key, and in about 30 seconds, had it cut perfectly. He took it out to my car, tested in the door, and even offered to program it for me (I have directions, did it myself). Cost: $15 even.

3) I then programmed the new key in his parking lot using the two-key method found HERE. It took all of 30 seconds.

That's it! I now have my very own Flip Key for my 2014 Mustang GT, complete with GT logo!!!

WOOHOO!!!

Add me to the club. Cost only $25, and the dealer ended up cutting the key for free.

I remember someone saying they have to find the "sweet spot" to get the key to work. Mine is like that when i have the buttons facing me. But if i just flip it around, it works just fine.

Maybe I'm confused, but the link in his quote takes you directly to the page to buy the key.

Yes, it came via USPS. Took about 2 weeks from the date I ordered them to when they arrived. They guy who makes them is in Spain. It'll come in a plain envelope.

If you click "THIS KEY", the link should take you right to the eBay listing. Click "BUY NOW", and you're done.

Yep, that link works fine for me, too

I'm also set up with a new flip key. Easy to setup. Good mod for less that 25 dollars! No more holes in the pockets of my pants... or unwanted piercings in me :-)
