There are two sets of instructions. One for the remote entry lock/unlock functions and another for to make the key start your vehicle. I suspect you only did the first one.

 

I've done both. The keyless entry worked on the first try. But I have tried many times to program it to pats but it just won't program.

 

In that case either you key fob is bad or was already programed to work with a different car. It is a one time deal from what I heard. Ask for a replacement.

 

I had to take my key apart to get it cut could that be a problem?

 

Same guy... mine said Boss 302... and the ink was bleeding as if I printed them on an old printer. And then they did have the nice gel coat over the print... which flattened the back making it where they did not adhere to a concave surface. at least it was only $6.

 

Krohn,
The following is the adhesion promoter I meant (from post #35). Have you tried this to get the sticker to stay?

 

Just ordered my stickers and flip key. Has anyone tried to have their track key programmed for one of these? Would we need to have it already programmed for the car?

 

I'm interested in doing this mod.

Have you guys experienced any negative side effects going to the aftermarket flip keys? I've noticed people saying so far that the key needs to be inserted a certain way, etc? I don't want to have to fiddle with it every time I start the car.

Also people have said that the trunk takes longer to pop? How about the range vs. the factory fob?

Thanks!

 

My only complaint is that the range is terrible.

 

No problems with fitment. Didn't compare the range but doesn't seem to go more than about 30 feet away, and I do have to pause between clicks to make the trunk pop.

Another thing that I had to get used to is the way you hold the key. Hard to explain but the key is parallel to the short side of the fob, not the long side. So if you hold it in your hand like your old key you will have to rotate your hand 90 degrees for it to go into the ignition.

 

Mine prefers to be inserted with the buttons facing away from me. I say "prefers", because it will work either way...but it can be slightly finicky with the buttons facing me.

I haven't noticed any issues with popping the trunk.

The range is worse than stock, but not by much. The stock range is pretty terrible to begin with...

I consider those issues to be very slight, and I've never regretted this purchase.

 

I have no lasting problems with mine other than for a short while, the car "forgot" the remote part. The key still opened the doors and started the car, but the remote buttons wouldn't open or lock the car. However, locking and unlocking the doors a few times back-to-back with the key (not remote) "fixed" it. No problems since. Range is great. Way better than the stock fobs on my Firebird.

The key I have (for the Mustang) is a replica of a Mazda Key.
Others on here have used a replica of a VW/Audi Key.

My brother has an Audi S4 and I didn't want to have the same key as him. I wanted to have something different. So they couldn't be confused.

 

Just got mine set up a couple of weeks ago but just received my decals for the back on Monday. Works great.

 

Where'd you get the decals? The eBay seller mentioned earlier in the thread or elsewhere?

 

Yes, I used the ebay seller mentioned earlier in this thread. I found the image online and sent him a message thru ebay to see if he would use it to make the decal. It took about 2 weeks or so after I bought it on ebay before I received it in the mail from Spain. Not a bad deal.

 

Is the oem domed decal larger? Maybe 15mm? Can anyone measure it?

 

Seeing this post back at the top of the page made me go check out flip keys on ebay. It looks like there are 3 new designs since the last time I looked for them.

Still using mine every time I drive the car.
The other keys are in a safe

 

Received my new flip key from the auction listed above. I have to say that this is the flip key I wanted from the beginning. Had it cut this morning and programmed it right after. Works just as well as my other flip key. If you have $40 burning a hole in your pocket, then this key is the one to get.

I had to take the key apart so the guy could cut it but it was pretty easy to do. If you pay attention to how you took it apart, it's easy to put it back together.
