OL Henry said "any color you want as long as it's black"
The keypad on my OBX from the factory was color matched (VB). For whatever reason, the paper with the security code didn't match the keypad on my Bronco. I had to submit it along with another item for warranty claim. They told me they would need to order a new one. I asked then to ensure it is color matched as I was unwilling to have the black MIC keypad. They said at the time that of course, they come color matched. They may have painted it or it came that way. But from all indications that they communicated to me is that is how it is ordered.
Interesting. I’ll have to look into this. Ford usually never sends anything already painted, but this could be an exception that I’m not aware of.
They might have painted it. But I've seen the black MIC keypad and it is textured whereas the color matched keypad is not. I doubt they took the time to sand the MIC keypad. I suppose there is a keypad that comes in primer.
Some of the key pads that Ford sells include 2 covers. One black textured, and one primered ready for “paint to match” which is just what I was thinking. But like I said, they may have done this differently for Bronco.
I can unlock my Bronco while naked with the keypad. It's great. I don't always have my phone or Fob on me.
They are a wireless unit that adheres to a surface. No bolts. Some people put them on the gas tank door.
I'm not going to ask how you punch in the numbers...
I've never taken one off, but frankly I don't see why they'd bolt it on at the factory when they're all the same wireless unit. YMMV.
I think you should ask your dealer to confirm. I don't believe any of them are bolted on, but what do I know.
You’re correct. They’re all the same, stick on
