I ordered a Black Diamond with a manual transmission. I can’t get the mid package, despite a willingness to pay for it. But when you’re carrying a kid in one arm and all their junk in the other, fumbling in your pockets for your keys is no bueno. Keypad isn’t pretty, but it’s necessary.

Yep this will be me. I hoped the order sheet was actually correct and would have let me order a mid package w/ the BD, but just realized I can't.

Yeah, I placed my order today. I had the same wish, but it was dashed on the rocks of the dealership’s desk.

I had an F-250 with a keypad in my younger days. I could go to Charlotte to a Nascar race or to a tailgate at a football game and get blistered drunk and not worry about losing my keys. At the time I considered it the greatest invention in the history of the automobile.
You’re the hero we all need.

This was a useful thread! Learned a couple things I didn't know before.

Now I will get one added after I take delivery of Bronco.

I think they're only $80 or so at the parts counter and fairly easy to program (I'm sure there's a youtube video on how to do it). I plan on putting it inside the gas tank door, behind the spare tire, or on the cowl plastic near the windshield.

Not on all Ford applications.
Current Ranger and Bronco, for instance, are wireless.

The center console has a depression for a dead keyfob and still start the Bronco. I tried a couple times just to make sure it worked. I have the keypad and plan to move to the gas tank door.

Matter of fact, my spare key is in my Flex all the time, connected to an Arduino so I can remote start from miles away. The battery is disconnected until I request a start/lock operation. Any other time, the car has no idea there's a key under the second row seat.
I'm fascinated by this because I've been wondering how it might be possible to build my own aftermarket solution to get true iOS Car Key/Phone As Key for the Bronco. Do you have more information about how you did this?
