How to install & program a keyless entry keypad on your Bronco

[OlllllllO]

So I just noticed our 2024 Braptor doesnt have the keypad and low and behold we used Fordpass to remote start in our garage with the FOB in the cup holder. The app then gliched and wouldnt work to unlock the doors so Im glad we were home so we could use the second FOB to unlock the dang thing. Anyone have a part number(s) for all the parts needed to add the keypad?

It's on the very first post of this thread.

The Raptor has factory remote start, so you'll want the keypad that supports vehicles with the factory remote start: KB3Z-14A626-B

Keypads can be purchased from your dealer's parts counter or HERE on Ford Accessories.

Ugh, why does parts.ford.com say that is not compatible with my Badlands Lux it-definitely-has-remote-start-because-I-use-it-every-cold-morning Bronco?

You on the Parts website or the Accessories website?? You can get the keypad on the Accessories website unless you are from AZ, OK, or VT.

If you are on the Parts website, I've noticed it will often will only show you factory-installed components for your vehicle if you filter by VIN. For example, I was looking up the HD modular bumper on the other day and I had to specifically remove my VIN from the filter as it was only showing the capable bumper as compatible (which was the bumper that I got with my Bronco).

It was parts.ford.com. I would have thought that entering a VIN would have validated that my Bronco had remote start capability, which seems to be the only qualifying factor. Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the direction of accessories.ford.com. With the 25% discount, I decided it was a worthy use of points I've had since purchase, even if they've jacked up the installation price. It might seem odd, but the only reason why I didn't get this with my original purchase is because I didn't want it installed on the door. In retrospect, it probably would have been easier to order it with the vehicle and buy some new 3M tape, remove it, clean up the residue, and relocate it.

I have a 2024 Badlands Lux with remote start and was told by two dealerships in Phoenix Az that i cannot add a keypad. They claimed they check on their computer and that thrir system confirms it is not possible to add.

They are dumb. I have a Badlands Lux and added a keypad using FordPass points not that long ago. I recommend you buy the keypad at https://www.ford.com/product/keyless-entry-keypad-for-vehicles-with-factory-remote-start-p2885836915 and choose the option to pay for dealer install, as that will keep a dealer from overcharging. Some dealers have quoted ridiculous rate, like an hour or more of labor. You'll be limited to the dealers that participate, but at least you'll get one that knows it can be done and how to do it. Ford is having 15% off with REDEEM325 right now. Bonus: if you don't like the look of the keypad on your door, ask them to install it inside the fuel door.

I tried to order on Ford Parts but no where in Arizona is listed for install. I chose a Southern California location because I travel there often. However, it would not allow me to enter my payment address in Phoenix even though it’s not shipped directly to me. Such a big riot!

I just check the website it no longer even show compatibility with 2024 Bronco and the install op is no longer listed.

Unfortunately, The state of AZ has some sort of restriction on Ford selling parts directly to customers via mail order. Maybe someone else will chime in with details?

I'm not sure how much effort you want to put into it, but maybe you have a friend or someone in SoCal who can order it for you and you reimburse them. I saw BroncoDave24's post, so I'm assuming AZ's franchise laws are more restrictive than most other states.

I wonder if that's also location-specific, though I don't know why it would be. When I put in 2024 Bronco, it says "exact fit." Weird.

Looks like they doubled the install price since last year! Still a bargain (if not in AZ).

Dealers have been known to refuse to use those rates, and have Ford refund you the money... since you paid it to Ford and not the dealer.

So while I agree the website rates are very attractive, make sure your dealer will honor them. A lot will not.

My dealer wanted $350 (1.5 hrs @ shop rate) to install this. I did end up haggling and getting them to honor the Website price. I knew it wouldn't take too long to do so I just said I'll wait in the lobby and made an appointment to get it installed, but.. in the true spirit of you get what you pay for, it took them - 5.5 hrs to hand me my keys back. So I think they got a big F U out of it, and as a result, I don't do any service or parts there anymore.

That was before I had a FDRS-compatible comm device though... never again. I should have just bought the comm device then.

I was under the impression that dealers agreed with Ford whether or not they would accept those rates because not all dealers are shown as installation locations. When I had mine installed, the nearest dealer was not listed, but oddly, another location owned by the same company was. While I wouldn't put it past any dealer to try to figure out how to squeeze a customer, I suspect that if someone had a problem, it was likely an unaware service advisor (or the service advisor was aware but figured they could leverage the customer into paying more.)
