2009 Ford Explorer Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A customer visiting a friend in Poway asked me directly whether the key would be "as good as dealer." He had a 2009 Ford Explorer and wanted a spare he could trust as his daily driver key, not just an emergency backup. Fair question, and it deserves an honest answer.
OEM Ford keys come from Ford's supplier, usually Strattec. They have the Ford logo on the head, the exact factory housing, and cost significantly more because of the brand markup. Aftermarket keys use the same blade profile, same chip type, same button layout, and same circuit board design. The functional difference in daily use is zero if the aftermarket blank is good quality.
I carry aftermarket blanks that I've tested on hundreds of Ford jobs. The blade is the same H75 profile cut to the same specs on my machine. The transponder chip is the same generation that Ford's PATS system expects. His fob, FCC ID OUCD6000022, was a 3-button remote, and the aftermarket housing has the same button feel, same weight, same snap-together fit. The difference is no Ford logo on the back and roughly $150 less in his pocket.
His total was $185. Dealer charges $395 for the OEM version. Where aftermarket can go wrong is when a locksmith buys the cheapest blanks. Thin housings that crack in a month, generic chips that almost match. I test every batch before it goes in the van. If a batch has bad quality, I send it back.

“I needed two keys made for my Honda Element. Friendly, fast, fair pricing, and far better than any other locksmith I have used in the area. Best service by far.”
“I lost my Honda Passport key and called EZ Car Keyz. He came out and made a new key in under five minutes. Legendary service.”
“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”
