IA Key
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The IA receives the low frequency signals from the passive start antennas. When the IA key is activated by one of the low frequency signals, it sends out a high frequency signal that is received by the TPM module. The IA key also contains a key blade that is used to enter the vehicle as a backup.
