2024 Keyless Door Pad Won't Work On 2025

[Sparky62]

Has anybody here with a 2025 added keyless entry and if so, what part number did you use?

I planned on adding a wireless keypad once I took delivery of my 2025 but my dealership says the one that's listed as working on the 2024 (KB3Z14A626B) is shown as not being compatible with the 2025.

The one they show as being compatible appears to cost a bit more and comes bare, requiring paint, which also adds to the price.

I came across this video from Long McArthur which appears to confirm, Ford changed the operating frequency on the '25 models, so older keypads won't work.

I have one on my 2025, It is not painted to match the truck, it is flat black, it looks OK.

I ordered one through my dealership for my 2025 RR and they installed it for me. I have no idea whether it's a 2024 model or a 2025 model but the one they installed for me works great and I love the idea of not having to always have my fob on my person to get in my truck.

I can leave the fob inside the truck or elsewhere and lock it with the keypad and when I return to the truck just enter my code. Very convenient. I hope you are able to get one to work for you.

Stupid question, when do you guys use it. I have had it on several trucks but never use it.

Sometimes I drive tractor for my buddy and need to leave my truck while I change fields. My buddy will have someone move my truck to the new field. The keypad allows me to leave the fob in the truck and keep it locked at the same time. The driver just needs to enter the code. Works well as sometimes the truck can be near a highway, busy road etc. Also handy when going golfing, no need to carry the fob.

I use it when hunting (don't have to carry keys around) and also very useful when going to the gym.

I have it on my F150 and my Sport Trac before that. I've locked myself out of my truck on multiple occasions, saved my butt. When we go camping and hiking I generally don't carry my phone or key fob, so again, the keypad has some value for me at least.

That's exactly what I'm looking for, the one my dealership brought up on their parts screen showed it as white or gray and needing paint.
Do you happen to have the part number by chance?

Sorry, I don't it was an order code when i speced the truck for purchase.

Ford Pass APP can remotely unlock & lock, that's why i didn't get the keypad.

@YogiMike. I actually thought that Ford Pass APP would NOT allow you to lock keys in the truck if the keys are IN THE CAR, but it Does! (I just tested it). I did not know this - THANK YOU! The only advantage to having keypad is if you are leaving the vehicle for someone else to use and they do not have access to the app and you are not available to remotely unlock. For those limited situations, I would probably not get the keypad going forward. My wife just got the Bronco Heritage - it does not have the keypad option and I am glad I know we have the ability to this w/ her car.

Ford Pass app requires cell service and app service both of which aren't 100% reliable. Nice to have a keypad tucked away in the fuel door as a backup and in situations where carrying a phone is not convenient.

I'm getting my keypad installed at my dealer in 2 days. It was built into the truck when ordered but is now a DIO for '25. I know it will be black and not paint matched. I'm going to ask them to program it but not put it on until I come out and look at mounting options and see what I like best. On my 2020 F250 it is on the A Pillar and I really like it there but that is built into the pillar itself and wired. I'm not sure what will look best but if anyone can post pics of it mounted on their truck that would be nice. I've seen the fuel door pictures but not sure I like that option as much or maybe I'm just used to having it on or near the door.

 

[Sparky62]

@banjo5 If possible, can you please get the part number off the package it comes in and share it here? I'm striking out on finding the '25 model one online, my dealership is seeing a totally different multi piece one that requires paint and is way more expensive than it should be.

I learned this the hard way

bought a 2025 RR a couple months ago

wanted a keypad so I got on Ford Accessories website, registered, keyed in my VIN to make sure the accessories I viewed would fit my 2025

searched for a keypad, one came up and I used my reward points to purchase

didn’t read the fine print …..it was for a 2024 and won’t work on my 25…and receipt says it “can not be returned “

Called Ford Accessories customer “non-support” and they confirmed I can’t return it

so, I’m out $181 worth of reward points

next plan is to go argue with dealership it I don’t expect any relief
