On August 26, I updated to the latest build 18093 and as soon as the *.xml file was uploaded I was informed that I now updated to the latest software, however when I clicked on sync history my latest update was Mar 24 build 18025 and its been almost 3 weeks since the latest update happened. Has anyone else noticed this really minor discrepancy?

"Definitely YES" picture same as what I saw, the problem was that I needed the programming done first, there is a locksmith in my area that would have done the cutting of the key for $35.00. I did it just as fast as you did with no string and I also tried the 2nd method and my mistake when I said Ford , it should have been "Lincoln" then year, make and model and then search and then one would see the 2nd method that I posted. The 2nd method is even faster then the 1st and requires no string and I got up to the point where I should have seen flashing, No flashing observed.

I have a 2017 mkz reserve hybrid and I decided to purchase an additional key fob which would bring the total to 3. After checking theFCC# on one of the originals I was able find and order via Amazon same keyfob. The seller did make mention that this keyfob cannot be programmed and has to be taken to a locksmith /dealer. Received unintelligent keyfob a few days later and if one checks the manual under security there is a method for programming(my manual describes this on Page 76) the unintelligent keyfob. I tried a number of times with different variations how to do this and was unsuccessful. So next I went to video's and questions as described by Ford and found for a 2017 mkz hybrid another method on how to program an unintelligent keyfob and btw this method is very different from the first and the questions the website asked me was the usual, vehicle, year and model. I tried this method and again I was unsuccessful. Went to dealer for $84.80 and they programmed the third keyfob and I asked the mechanic was he successful with any method that I described above and said "NO" Needed laptop and keyprogrammer also the key part was also cut while at the dealer So the question is Has anyone had luck programming a 2017 KEYFOB and why would they put this in the manual and another method on the website if it doesn't work and yes I did call Lincoln and their answer was the same if you can't get it to work see dealer
