Professional in-store programming for the First Generation of Ford and Lincoln Push-to-Start vehicles.

This specific smart key (FCC: M3N5WY8406) was used for a very short window (2009–2012) on the flagship sedans and crossovers before Ford standardized to the newer M3N5WY8609 system in 2013.

• Smart Key Fob: OEM-spec proximity remote with the correct ID46 transponder.

• Proximity Sync: Digital pairing of the fob to the vehicle's RFA (Remote Function Actuator).

• Emergency Key: Laser cutting of the HU101 backup blade inside the fob.

• Battery: CR2032 (Replaceable).

⚠️ CRITICAL COMPATIBILITY WARNING (2012 vs. 2013)

This key is strictly for 2009–2012 models.

• In 2013, Ford/Lincoln updated these vehicles to a new frequency/chip system (FCC: M3N5WY8609).

• The keys look IDENTICAL on the outside.

• You MUST check the FCC ID under the battery cover of your current key.

  • If it says M3N5WY8406: Buy this service.
