Ford Card Fob
Description
This is a key fob card I made for my ford key fob. To start, I procured a knockoff fob from AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806449670553.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.11.1ad01802TL1gQq&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa (Type 4, 315mhz) Then I programmed it to the vehicle following Ford's procedure in the owner's manual. Once programmed, I harvested the PCB: 1. I removed the buttons from the PCB (to make slimmer and prevent accidental presses) 2. I removed the battery contacts on the back of the PCB 3. I soldered a 2032 battery cell (2032 is slightly smaller, and more importantly slimmer than the standard 2450 battery used in the fob. It won't last quite as long, but it keeps the card slim enough to fit into a wallet at 3.1mm) to the contacts previously used for the battery contacts.

It should just snap together. Since I only want to carry my phone, I ordered this wallet to keep the card in: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CY8J2QBZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
