Keymall Ford F150/F250 Key Fob Shell 2015-2017 - 5-Button Black/Silver Replacement Case, No Electronics

This Keymall replacement shell is a cost-effective exterior key fob case that fits Ford F150 and F250 2015–2017 models with FCC ID M3N-A2C31243300 and provides a refreshed housing for your original electronics.

If the plastic body of your Ford remote is cracked, worn, or the buttons no longer respond because of a damaged case, replacing only the shell is often faster and much cheaper than buying a new programmed fob. This product is a blank outer case (no internal circuit board, transponder chip, or cut key) designed to accept the internals from your existing remote and restore full mechanical protection and button access.

Will this shell fit my Ford key fob?

The Keymall shell is designed specifically for Ford F150 and F250 trucks from model years 2015, 2016, and 2017 that use FCC ID M3N-A2C31243300 (P/N 164-R8117). Before ordering, visually compare your current remote’s button layout and FCC/PN markings to ensure compatibility.

• Compatible FCC ID: M3N-A2C31243300
• Reference P/N: 164-R8117
• Vehicle fitment: Ford F150 and F250 (2015–2017)

What exactly is included and what is not included?

This listing contains a single Keymall key fob shell only — the plastic housing and buttons. It does not include the electronic remote board, transponder chip, battery, or a pre-cut metal key blade. You must transfer the internals from your original key and have a locksmith cut the key blade if needed.

• Included: 1 x replacement key fob shell (black and silver)
• Not included: electronic board, battery, transponder, or cut key
• Installation: open original fob and move internals into new shell
• Key cutting: obtain from a qualified locksmith after transfer

How easy is installation and what should I watch for?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable opening a fob: gently pry apart the old housing, remove the circuit board and key insert, and seat them into the new Keymall shell. No reprogramming is required because the internal electronics stay the same. If the battery compartment feels tight, try using a thinner CR2025 battery as some original batteries sit slightly thicker.

• Tools: small flat screwdriver or plastic pry tool recommended
• No reprogramming needed — electronics remain unchanged
• Battery note: thinner CR2025 may help if the compartment is hard to close
• Final step: have the metal key blank cut to match your vehicle

Will replacing the shell save me money compared to a new fob?

Yes — swapping only the outer case is a budget-friendly alternative because it avoids the higher cost of a fully programmed replacement remote. You retain your existing electronic unit and any programming or security features, while restoring durability and button responsiveness with a fresh housing.

• Lower cost than buying a complete new fob
• Keeps original electronics and programming intact
• Fast turnaround when you do the swap yourself
• Ideal for worn buttons, cracked plastics, or cosmetic renewal

Who is this for: This Keymall replacement key fob shell is best for Ford F150/F250 owners (2015–2017) whose remote electronics and key blade are still working but whose outer case is damaged, faded, or failing. It’s also suited to DIYers and locksmiths who want a reliable, OEM-style housing to refurbish a functional remote without changing its programming.
