Verifying and Ordering the Correct Key
• Verifying and ordering the correct keys for the vehicle is critical any
time keys are being added or replaced.
– It is possible that incorrect keys can be programmed to the vehicle,
allowing the vehicle to start. However, this will typically result in
inoperative Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)/Intelligent Access and/or the
vehicle only starting when the key is in the back-up slot (push-button start
vehicles).
• Keys must be ordered via www.onerotunda.com using the Rotunda
Key Part Number (Ex: 164-R8092).
• Rotunda key part numbers can be verified within the key fob itself,
searching the key basic part number (15K601) in the Historical
Vehicle Bill of Material (HVBoM) and/or entering the Service Part
Number found in the Ford Parts Catalog Advantage (FCAT) and/or
by contacting Rotunda at 1-800-ROTUNDA.

Verifying the Correct Key
• When programming keys, verify the correct key is being used if errors or functionality concerns arise
during programming.
• You can do this by finding the engineering part number in the key. The number is small and may be in a
different location based on key design for your vehicle. The base part number is always 15K601. This
number can be checked against the parts catalog and HvBOM for verification.
