Had mine about 2 weeks.

Love it! Although I wish the FOB would work a little better than it does.

Screw SVT but the key is pretty cool

Is it a distance issue or range?

If so put the FOB up to your chin and hit the button it will double the range because it will use your body as a conductor...try it.

Not sure. I can stand right by the car and hit the button 5 times and have it register 2-3 times only. Changes the battery and that helped the range.

Honestly, I think it's just a warm out circuit board, because I'm pretty sure these keys are used Ford keys with blanks on them.

A lot of HomeDepot/Lowes stopped cutting automotive keys with a remote/transponder because they don't wants to be liable for it if the key doesn't work for whatever reasons.

I tried the HomeDepot and Lowes in Allen and both of them refused to cut mine. Finally took it to A1 Locksmith in Plano and the key was cut without a hitch. I did have to acknowledge that they are not responsible for the key because they did not sell it to me.

I did notice that the transmitter is not as responsive as the OEM ones. If I hit the trunk button twice quickly, the key fob apparently only send out one signal. Try slowing down your double-click rate and see if that make a difference.

No issues so far...hopefully it will stay that way.

Still doesn't work like that sometimes. I hit the trunk button 4 times tonight after school with at least a second between each one, and it took to the 4th hit.
