Today I’m gonna use Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus to decode a 2021- Ford HU198T key. This could be applied to 2024 Ford Mavericks, (2021-)F-150s, Escape, or (2023-) F250s emergency key as well.
Cut key >> Vehicle database >> Ford >> All key blank >> HU198T
There are 4 HU198T key blanks, the difference is the depth.
If select the second one, we can see down here, it has 5 depths.
If select the third one, this has 4 depths.
Since I’m not sure which is the correct option, I’ll check both.
Decode key >> Learn
VVDI Key Tool Plus gives the key bitting code: 4421232112
If you decode it under 5 and at first glance you might say that’s completely wrong. None of the numbers are the same.
The correct key code should be the same as the paper.
So let’s exit to select the second one.
Decode key >> Learn
Learn key success.
Now compared with the key codes, they are exactly the same: 5532343213.
Click “Find bitting”.
Xhorse Key Tool Plus will give the key code: 30279, it’s correct!
Also, we find all the 5 depths are filled with numbers.
That’s it!
This is using Key Tool Plus to decode a 2021+ Ford F-150S/F250S/Escape H198T
