Be Careful FX Drivers.
My 2003 FX was broken into twice. Nothing wasn't taken out major except for a 40$ ash tray insert. It wasn't even noticed. Both times the culprit popped off the escutcheon with the key insert exposed. Took a flat head screw driver and popped out the key insert assembly and the door automatically unlocks. It could be an inside job because it was done less than five minutes. I parked my truck in front of my house, ran in, and five minutes later came out to see that my truck was broken into for the second time. It cost me 800$ for each. I know we have the keyless entry option but I decided to up the anny by really making our truck keyless entry. That means that you cannot use the wallet key if you accidently lock your keys in the car. I had the repair shop order a driver side rear escutcheon and place it on the front driver side. I will Place pics shortly. Needless to say, It is an addition to theft deterent. How can they pop a door lock if they can't see a door lock. I also suggest you keep a couple of extra batteries for your remote where you used to keep the wallet key.[/b]
