Ford Escape & Focus OEM genuine smart proximity key FIEF-15K601

This product has been temporarily removed from sale as direct result of the Consumer Goods (Products Containing Button/Coin Batteries) Safety Standard 2020 which becomes enforceable on 22nd June 2022 and carries fines of up to $1million. 

All products that contain a button cell or coin type battery must be safety tested to confirm they comply with these new regulations. All button cell batteries must be in a new type of packaging with new labels. 

We are working with all of our suppliers to confirm this compliance before we make the product available for sale again. 

We should have had 18 months to get this compliance but sadly the ACCC did not inform our suppliers or us or pretty much any other industry and we only found out about this new law 4 weeks ago.

Please feel free to email us with the details of what you were looking for and we will give you an update on when we expect it to be back available for sale.

This OEM smart proximity remote fob is suited for use with the following Ford vehicles.

These OEM Ford smart keys are supplied without an emergency key blade but we will include an aftermarket emergency key blade as shown in the photos. 

This OEM Ford smart proximity remote fob uses the ID49 HITAG PRO (SMART KEY PROX) type transponder and the remote transmits on 433.92 MHz FSK frequency suited to models released for the Australian market.

This key features 4 buttons for LOCK - UNLOCK & BOOT. 

The part number for this Ford key is: FIEF-15K601

Inside the back of your key you will find there are lots of numbers behind the emergency key blade. If you are ot sure of which key you need you can send us a photo of the numbers inside your key or send us your VIN and we will cross reference it for you to confrim the correct part number for your key.

To open the back of your key squeeze both sides of the pointed end of the remote and you will notice the back cover lifts up. The other end of the cover has hooks that are rounded and so lift from the pointed end gently and the hooks will roll out of the slots they fit into. These are very delicate and easily broken so please take great care if you are unsure there are many videos online showing how to safely open the back of the remote.

Once open you can remove the emergency key blade and in the section where the emergency key sits you will see the following:
