How to: Adding the OEM Keyless Entry Keypad to a 2015+ F150

For those of you guys that chose to buy a lower trim level truck, that also like to have the convenience of the keyless entry keypad, or as Ford likes to call it "Securicode", there is a way to add it to your F150 as long as it has keyless entry.

For the 2015+ generation of F150s, the stick on Ford Accessory keypad still works, but you have to turn it on with IDS.

What many have found, is that any F150 with remote keyless entry (any XL with 101A or STX, and XLT model truck), already has the wiring in it.  In fact, in your owners manual pouch, you'll probably see the little plastic card with the keyless code.

You'll need the following parts:
FL3Z-14A626-AB - Keypad
FL3Z-1520555-TA- Door Pillar trim with cutout, this is the matte finish to match the XL and STX panels.

Youll also need:
Various sockets (7mm)
Torx (T20 and T25)
Trim Pry tools to avoid damaging your panels.

Installation is super simple.  You'll need to remove the door panel.

This  requires removing the trim plate that covers the door pull. Pop the front facing side and then the rear, easing it towards the front as you pull.  You will expose two 7mm bolts.

Below the door pull is another recessed panel trapezoidal in shape, about 2" x 5", youll need to pop that out and expose two more bolts. 

On the bottom of the door panel will be two more bolts. They're exposed.  Remove those.

Now on the top of of the panel, remove the sail panel that meets the dash when the door is closed.  REmove the bolt there.

That should be 7 bolts. There are plenty of videos online to help you get to this place.

Using your trim tools, you can start popping the clips around the door panel.  Once you're done, the panel lifts off and you can move it out of the way.  I did not unplug anything as I had a little stool to support the panel while I did my work.

Next you'll want to roll the window down and pull the weatherstrip out of the window channel. This will expose the torx screws that hold the door pillar trim.

Remove these and move the trim inwards toward the center of the door and the trim should come off with a little effort.

You can install the keypad into the trim piece and install the trim piece on.  Reinstall the torx screws and the window trim.

Now is the tricky part.  You need to run the wiring to the plug.  This can be accomplished by a number of combinations of rolling the window up and down and routing the wires out of the way of the glass. There are actually some plastic retainers in the door for the wiring.

The plug for the keyless is located above the crash bar here.

Plug it in, and make sure the glass does not contact the wire going up and down, and you're done with the hard work.

Now you'll need Forscan or IDS to turn the keypad on.

I used Forscan.  Youll need to change the BCM values as follows:

Once you've done that, you're good to go!
