is this another way to get the truck stolen?

Not a fan. A solution to a problem that I didn’t have. My key fob stays in my pocket. Don’t have to remove it. Just grab the door handle to open, push ignition button to start.

To use the card I have to take it out of my pocket and touch it to door handle, then put it in the charger to start the engine.

It’s like taking a step backwards.

I guess if your pockets are too tight for a key fob, the this is nice.

Now the Phone as a Key function will work just like the key fob, if they ever get it up and running

Can you have your key FOB in the truck and lock it with card? The only scenario I see helpful is if I go mountain biking and want the slim card in my pocket vs a fob. I'm really going to miss my ford's door code.

The card is designated for ballet parking, so you won't need to give your key fob. It's not meant for continuous use.

Good question. Not sure about it.

In that scenario, you could just use the key card and leave fob at home

What the difference between handing the valet your fob vs the key card? Not being a smart ass. Seriously wondering if there is a specific advantage?

Took me a while to use it but you have to hold the card in the middle of the door handle. I keep mine in my wallet which is ALWAYS with me and is used as a back-up if I need to leave my key fob home.

I may have a setting wrong, but remote started (app)truck with key fob inside. Tried to unlock with the app but kept saying it failed. Thankfully had the keycard in my wallet and was able to unlock. Easy enough to throw it in your wallet for a just incase. Waiting for the remote key app to be released and hopefully you don't need to take your phone out of your pocket.

My wife’s BMW has the Phone as Key, and it works really nice. Basically, the phone is just like your key fob. No need to take it out of pocket to enter the car or start it.

If the battery in her car gets low, it won’t let you use the phone as a key, because it’ll start to shut down certainly electronic options to save battery life. In which case she needs the fob to start it up.

Key Card is easy to keep in your wallet. Use the phone key for every day, and the card key in emergencies. Or to give to a tow truck driver if things go bad.
