Hey guys. I’m going to need to buy a new keyfob for my truck as mine is pretty much broken.
My truck is a 2015 F150 with the 5 button key fob.
I like the key fobs for the 2018s better and I was wondering if I can order the 2018 key fob and will it work and will I be able to program it to my truck?

So I have two keys for my 2016. Wanted the solid feel of the 2018 like you. A friend of mine got me a brand new one.. tried the programming methods on youtube and the owners manual (online) and both didn't work. The programming slot in the center console is molded to fit the original key fobs and not a different style.. so the 2018 key didn't sit all the way in the slot.. that could be a reason why the programming protocol didn't work? Don't know.. but There is a chance that frequencies are different.. Not sure if I took it to the dealer I will pay their hourly rate for them to try the same thing and come out saying that it didn't work.. my key was defective or pay for their learning that will yield nothing!

Yeah I believe you can program a new key yourself but you need both original keys to do so. There's youtube videos showing how to.

Yes, you can use the 2018+ style key on the 2015-2017 trucks. If you have two keys, you should be able to program a third yourself. If not, you’ll need to go to the dealer.

You may have to open your key and see what the fcc ID number is and if it matches the key you want. It may work. I updated my 2009 key and separate fob to the all in one fob and flip out key and it works fine.

Look for an Automotive Locksmith in your town. Make sure he specializes in digital car keys. He will have all the tools to read the codes, cut you a key and program a new fob. I just did mine. Dealer wanted $460. In less then 10 minutes I was in and out for $160.

Yes. Tomorrow I will go over to my local locksmith and ask him as well. He’s a pretty good guy and great at his profession.
