HI ,New member. FYI if you get an suspect incompatible key message when attempting to program PATS keys check the fuse for the pats system in the BCM. I was replacing my bcm on a 2017 Escape S 2.5 and that error kept showing when I tried to program keys. Replaced blown fuse and keys programed fine. They had previously been programed to the vehicle .
Remember to check the simple stuff.
