I was surprised to find that while there were two plastic key fobs, the beautiful crystal key was not included.
Is this common? I try not to make any assumptions when buying used cars. Especially without putting my own hands on them first but this time I assumed that the fancy key would be included.
I have a call in to the dealer. They are an AM dealer so they might take care of me.
Car is awesome! Sounds amazing, plenty fast enough and looks killer.

...as I heard that you can transfer the guts of a plastic key into a Crystal key

Can I program the new key myself to just start the car: Yes but this will require 2 already programmed keys to the vehicle(there is a Ford procedure that isn't to hard). BUT If you only have 1 key programmed to the vehicle, dealer is the only place that can get you a second new key programmed to start the car.

Can I program the new key myself to operate the locks: NO, there is nothing you can to program the key to unlock/lock/open trunk, this is only done by the dealer

Can I swap the internals of my plastic key to the new glass key I bought: Yes, you can swap the circuit board and chip to the glass key and thus the glass key will operate(vehicle will think it's the plastic key that is already programmed), but you will now have a inop plastic key.
