Same exact thing, the seller prob. just found out that it works with the explorer as well but its still a fusion key. Oh and obviously buy the fusion one since you will be getting the same thing for $30 cheaper.

Thanks, thats what I thought. I just went ahead and bought the cheaper one since its gonna cost me $18 to get it cut anyway.

$18 is a lot of bucks to cut a key. Why so much? My local ACE hardware cut mine for free.

So the fusion keys/remote are the same for the Gen III explorer?

 

[Tylers02]

The transponder chip is the same in both keys, so it will work with the 3rd Gens. And Ace, Home Depot, etc would not touch my key.

^I called all the chain hardware stores around me and none of them would cut a car ket with a chip at all. There is one small local one I forgot to try. Also that guy ships really slow, just a warning to anyone who buys.

if you tell them you know you still have to program it then usually they will cut it. thats what i had to tell the guy at home depot.
