Nope, just take an x-acto knife or pocket knife and pick at on of the edges. It's a concaved sticker, so it is hard to bend.

I work for Ford Motor Company....If the key programs to the car, I am sure you could program it as a trak key....not really sure why it would not work.

Does the trak key not have a specific coding to it?

Being that you have to order a track key directly from ford, I would think there is something different there in relation to a normal key.

I haven't had a chance to program mine yet. But the Trak Key technology is the same as the Ford MyKey technology. I haven't done a whole bunch of research on the key technology and which module makes the decision that its a different key (Instrument cluster, BCM, PCM?)....obviously some sort of RF chip or something is recognized in the key.

but the directions to program the trak key are simple....and the only unique thing you get when buying M-14204-MBTKA is the voucher ID.

Pretty sure it's Ford's way of recouping the money that was spent on writing the performance PCM software.

Basically, my best educated guess is that the actual program and technolgy has nothing to do with the "red medallion key". The key's ID number is just associated with the trak key PCM program. (if thats what you were wondering).

That would make sense.

Thinking of getting one of these, after using a jetta equivalent.

Any wear and tear issues?

Does the mykey settings work with this?

[DirtyD]

MyKey still works. I don't use mine anymore because the range flat out sucks.

[RedRaider5.0]

Mine still works great.
