Using a new style remote/key combo keyfob on a 99-04 Mustang
So I got bored and tried to see if my new Fusion's key can be recognized by my Mustang, and to my surprise it WORKS flawlessly!
I followed the standard programming method (turn key from ACC to RUN 8 times in rapid succession, not turning the key all the way back to the remove position, then press the lock button on the remote) and all the buttons work perfect. I'm assuming that the transponder is the same as well, it would be really cool to have one of these new keys for my 2000. Does anyone have access to try and program a modern transponder key to a Mustang to verify that portion works as well?

So it seems its completely possible. The downside is the blank keyfobs are $99 + shipping from Randy at MD..
Buy key Have key cut to match factory key Program transponder with the two factory keys method Program keyless entry (verified to work) If anyone can get the hookup on these keys, post up.. They're $140 list price. How to program transponder key: http://www.fordf150.net/howto/patskey.php How to program keyless entry: http://www.fordf150.net/howto/reprogramremotes.php

I'll see if I can get a PN. There are probably several versions of this key, I doubt only the fusion's key looks like that. The one I posted is even actually a little different, my fusions key has "2x" on the truck button (you have to hit it twice to open it).

According to another guy on StreetStangs, the Mach1 registry guys had this discussion before and found that the key is too fat at the top to fit into the 'collar' of the ignition.. now, this would be very easy to fix as I've taken that little piece off before, but its another drawback that has to be worked around.

Ok I talked about this with another tech at work today. He said the fob will work all day long but you cant program the key to work.
