Facelift Proximity Push-to-Start Remote (Part: 164-R8163 / 164-R8182 / 164-R8198)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✨ SERVICE OVERVIEW Professional programming for the Push-to-Start Smart Key used on the facelifted 2023–2026 Ford Escape. Depending on your specific trim level, these remotes operate on either a standard 315 MHz frequency or a specialized high-band 902 MHz frequency, both utilizing highly encrypted ID49 (Hitag Pro 128-Bit) transponders. Our service provides a complete replacement, including a brand-new proximity remote, precision computerized laser cutting of the emergency backup blade, and direct diagnostic synchronization to your vehicle's advanced Security Gateway immobilizer system.

🚘 VERIFIED VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY & PART NUMBERS This service is strictly for models equipped with a factory Push-Button Start system. We will verify your exact VIN to determine which frequency your vehicle's module requires:
Ford Escape (Push-to-Start Trims): 2023 - 2026
Detailed Part Fitment:
164-R8163 (3-Button / 315 MHz): Standard proximity key for Base/Mid-tier models without factory remote start or a power liftgate.
164-R8182 (4-Button / 902 MHz): Upgraded proximity key for trims equipped with Remote Start but without the power liftgate.
164-R8198 (5-Button / 902 MHz): Premium proximity key for top-tier trims fully loaded with both Remote Start and the Power Liftgate.
⚠️ CRITICAL FREQUENCY WARNING: You absolutely cannot mix and match these keys! The Ford Escape's receiver module is hardware-tuned strictly to one frequency based on the trim level. Programming a 315 MHz key to a 902 MHz vehicle (or vice versa) will result in a complete failure.
