TracKey Has Arrived - Ford’s Email to All Ford and Lincoln Dealers

[blazer1]

Does anyone know how this works? Being that this is a software install, do we each need to order it, or does the dealer do multiple downloads from the copy they receive from Ford.

Was wondering the same thing myself??

Here is the email I got from my dealer today. I have mine on order and will be installing next week. This might clear up some questions:

TRACKEY SHIPPING
TracKey orders will begin shipping October 31, 2011. Orders received by 2:00 PM EST will be shipped same day to the dealer via a UPS Red Next Day envelope.

Each envelope will include a voucher with ID number, instruction sheet, and premium fuel label.

BILLING ON PARTS & ACCESSORIES STATEMENT
Dealers will be billed for TracKey Orders on their Parts & Accessories Statement.

SERVICE WRITER INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – Utilizing TracKey calibration with fuel that is lower than 91 octane may cause engine damage. Damage caused by low octane fuel will not be covered under the Ford Racing limited warranty.

TracKey is only applicable if the vehicle has no aftermarket engine modifications (i.e. no aftermarket "cold" air kit, headers, cams, superchargers, etc.) Utilizing TracKey calibration with aftermarket engine modifications may cause engine damage. Damage caused by aftermarket modifications will not be covered under the Ford Racing limited warranty.

HOW WILL THIS AFFECT VEHICLE WARRANTY?
TracKey is warranted for factory-supplied material or workmanship, when installed on a Boss 302 or Laguna Seca by an authorized Ford or Lincoln Dealer, beginning upon dealer installation and registration of the part(s) with Ford Racing for the balance of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the start date of the manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited Warranty. This Limited Warranty replaces the existing manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited Warranty for engine, driveline and suspension parts, when the warranted Ford Racing Part is identified as the causal part of a warrantable concern. Installation of these select Ford Racing parts by an authorized dealer does not nullify the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. All engine, driveline and suspension warranty issues not related to installation of Ford Racing parts remain subject to existing manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
To register for Ford Racing Limited Warranty, please contact the Ford Racing Tech Line at (800) FORD-788 and provide the TracKey proof of purchase and installation invoices, date, mileage, and VIN.

You have to have the dealer order it and have it delivered to the dealer. He then installs it and returns the package with the download authorization code to you. My dealer ordered 5 so that they would be available when the customers come in and want it but are not aware of how it all works

"TracKey is only applicable if the vehicle has no aftermarket engine modifications (i.e. no aftermarket "cold" air kit, headers, cams, superchargers, etc.) "

I would say no it's not.

Thanks for the info.

Thank you for the info fellows. Have another question and everyones advice is desired.

Would it be best to have the dealer where I bought the car install it, or another dealer. My reason is the selling dealer is a 2 hour drive from me and there is another one 10 minutes away, and I have buddies there working in the parts dept. ;D

Not ot say this is how it is but on my Hayabusa the k&n was not as good as the stock filter we compared them on a dyno stock was actually 3 hp more.

I would have the dealer that will do your normal service install TK.

I agree with mr. Fivedotto.
Where I bought mine, there is one mechanic that works on all of the high-performance stuff, like the Cobra. He will be the only one messing with this Boss.
You want your mechanic to be your friend, and to know your car as well as you do.
