TracKey module?

Does anyone know if the module will come with the car uninstaled? I saw there is a part # for the trackey from Ford Racing but when I type in the part # it says no part available.

Ford was very vague about this, but I finally found out how it works by talking with Ford's lead powertrain engineer. Both keys actually come with the car, and both will start the car in normal mode. If you want the TracKey, you have to take your car to a Ford Racing authorized dealer and they will re-flash the car so that TracKey is enabled by the red key.

Were you able to confirm the $302 list price for the flash?

I asked around for the pricing and no one seemed to want to give an official answer. I can't personally confirm that it's the actual price, but the journalist that published the number wouldn't have a reason to lie about it.

Can you find out more info from him and post it?

Does the car come with two normal keys and an extra track (red) key?

Is the red key really different, other than color, or could a black key be reprogrammed? To state more simple is the difference in the tune and not necessarily the key itself?

Can a third key be pats programed if you only have one (1) track and one (1) non-track key? Or do you need two non-track (black) pats keys?

If you try to program a third pats key for a spare after you have the track tune will effect the tune, wipe it out?

I doubt this but if the battery is disconnected will that wipe out the track tune?
