hi all
just wandering if any one has tried upgrading the separate key and remote fob to one of the newer keys with the remote built in (like on the new fords e.g.  )
if so do you just program it like you would with a spare key?

Don't have experience of these myself, but others have. Lots of other Ford (and others) remotes have been tried. The general opinion is that only our proper ones work.

I am the same height and large build too so long key-chains are very annoying for me too
