Are the key fobs specific to driver presets?

We just picked up our new Expedition yesterday and I'm a bit overwhelmed with everything to learn! One question I have is about the key fobs. Our previous vehicle (Honda Pilot) had a "Key 1" and "Key 2" which then set the driver's seat settings to the memory settings for the corresponding drivers. Do the Expedition key fobs do that, or do you push the button on the door when the driver gets in? Just curious if we need to determine a "His" and "Hers" key or if they are interchangeable. Thanks for any advice!

They can be set up that way. I chose not to activate the MyKey function for mine. My wife’s BMW has that, and it drives me nuts. Everything is profile specific and it is extremely frustrating when it doesn’t work, which is often. Maybe Ford does a better job of managing profiles, but I chose to keep it simple.

From the factory they are interchangeable. But you can assign each to a memory button.

You don’t have to setup a MyKey profile to pair seat memory to key fob. It is a very useful feature.

We've really enjoyed having the position memory set to each key. Took us a few to get used to using separate keys as we've always only had 1 hanging up, but once we were over that it's been great.
