Installing keypad entry after sale?

[connor'sdad]

Can this be added by dealer after purchase?

Absolutely.

It's just stuck on with adhesive and programmed to act like an additional key fob.

I'm probably going to add it after I take delivery and stick it someplace else (tucked behind the spare tire for example).

Thanks, I like that idea also!

Yes. Unfortunately Ford didn’t build it into the pillar like they should have.

How does it keep a charge my 2005 sportrac has the keypad and I use it nearly everyday and it's never failed. If it's not wired seems like it would need batteries replaced at some point.

Some of them are hardwired through the door... not sure if your Sportrac is that way... but the Bronco one is battery powered and yes, theoretically would need the battery replaced eventually.

It's wired, as can be seen at the pictures in this link.

It looks easier than I would have guessed.

I noticed a bullet on that part. I wonder why it can't be used on a vehicle with remote start?

There are two different pads. One for remote start vehicles and one for those that don’t have remote start. The keypad on the bronco is a cheap version and not hardwired.

The ideal use case for this, imo, would be to leave your key in the car, lock it up, then unlock using this keypad on the way back from the trail.

Problem though is that most newer cars auto-detect for the key fob being in the cabin, and won’t let you lock the key inside.

Thoughts?

[Edit: I’ve since been told here on the forum that when locked via the keypad, the ability of the car to start is deactivated (for present or not) until unlocked via the keypad. I have yet to test this..]

You can lock the keys in the vehicle with the keypad.

Hold 7/8 9/0 buttons and it will lock the vehicle with the fob in the car. I have keypads on my 2014 Taurus and 2015 Super Crew. Works perfectly.

Don't know about the Bronco, but my F150 has a compartment for the fob to hide in, and then can be locked inside.
