⚠️ CRITICAL COMPATIBILITY CHECKS

1. The "Taurus/Lincoln" Split (2012 vs 2013):

• If you have a Taurus, MKS, or MKT, check your year carefully.

  • 2013 and Newer: Uses THIS key (M3N5WY8609).

  • 2012 and Older: Uses the [Older Key] (M3N5WY8406).

2. The "Shield Key" Split (2015/2016):

• If you have a Ford Edge or Explorer, check your year.

  • Edge: 2011–2014 uses this key. (2015+ uses the "Shield" shape).

  • Explorer: 2011–2015 uses this key. (2016+ uses the "Shield" shape).

• Visual Rule: If your current key is shaped like a Shield (pointed bottom), this is the WRONG service. This listing is for the Rectangular key.
