next step is- does anyone know if Fords double sided keys have tumblers only on one side or both? I'm thinking about getting keys cut for one car on one side, other car on other side, maybe even getting the fusion keys- I'd love to get rid of one key and both fobs...I know in the old fords the tumblers were single sided so this was possible, just not sure with all the security stuff if double/offset tumblers exist or not in the new locks- I'm almost certain door and trunk are single sided, but gotta wonder about ignition.

Ignition key cylinders have only one set of tumblers. The keys are double cut so you can insert them using either side without having to stick them in one way. You can if you want to have a single key with two different cuts and it will operate the lock cylinders just fine. My only concern is the coded transponder embeded in the key working on two different cars.

Why do some keys have a 2x on the trunk button, while others don't?

Some keys require that you press the button twice to release the trunklid while others require that you hold the button down long enough to activate the release. This is a feature that prevents you from accidentally popping the trunk open when you don't want it to, say for instance you have you pockets full and the button inadvertantly presses against something.

I'm guessing he gets his info from Ford since he is a tech at the dealer here in town. He is the guy that put my headers and x-pipe on for me and he seemed like he knew what he was doing. Oh yeah, he took my Fusion/Milan key to work and cut it and programmed it for me too.

Hate to bring a post from the dead, but yesterday my Fusion key broke! The metal key separated form the plastic. It seems they used some kind of rubbery glue, just replaced that with some 2 ton epoxy and it seems good again, just keep an eye out for this.

Mine came to me thay way in the mail. After looking close,it looks like he is getting near new keys, and replacing the metal key part. There is a hole in the key that allows a plastic pin to hold the metal to the plastic parts. Mine had alot of that glue also. It also had a nick in the plastic, nothing a little sand paper couldn't fix.

^^Who was your seller?
My metal piece broke loose after about two days, no big deal, epoxy easily fixed that. But it also came with a big (almost takes up a whole side) scuff on the plastic which I'm not sure how to get rid of. Kind of irritating that he'd sell it like that and not even mention it.
