Could a 2003 FX35 have the smart key like in this video?

Yes. The intelligent key option came in the Technology Package starting in 2003.

If you're asking about the newer oval design of the smart key, then I have not seen/know any 03 and 04 has one myself.

Definitly part of the tech package for the FX. Wonder if its easy to swap in the parts to make it work on a non tech package. I have all the parts...

03 and 04 have the brick Ikey. In 05 or 06 they changed to the flat oval design. Unfortunately, they are not interchangeable. Many people have tried to get the internals from the brick into the oval, and no one has ever been able to do it. Early year FX's are stuck with the ugly brick... Just the way it is.

Are you saying yes you can I have an Ikey with an 03? Yes there was never a debate. 03 and 04 come with the ugly "brick" Ikey. 05+ they upgraded the Ikey to a slick oval design. What I am saying is, you cannot interchange the two. They are not compatable. AND dealers have already confirmed they can NOT be programmed for the opposite years.
