Extra keyless entry remote question

hey mates

my spare key remote isnt working..replaced battery and the red light stays on etc...

if i were to buy another remote from another cl will it work with my car (after hitting the button 6x and all of that)??
or is there a specific thing to do to make it work with your car?

thanx

there should be a FCC ID number on the back of the remote which came w the car....as long as you order one w the same FCC ID you will be able to program it...try ebay i got a brand new one for $20 but the stealership will rape u like 80 bucks for it

you can buy one off of ebay. like this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acura...Q5fAccessories

then if you search there is a thread that talks about the sequence you have to do to get it to work on your car.

cool....
my spare is bad and my current one is pissing me off cause i constantly have to keep holding the trunk and lock button to make the sound beep again..
hopefully another one will solve this problem and i can use my current one as my spare

gonna have to search for the sequence thread and read a for the info too

cheers

@asianspec...that ebay link says its for a TL not a CL...does it matter?
the remote pictured looks the same as mine though..

p.s...can somebody post a link to the sequence thread as mentioned??i cant find it..still gonna try looking till than though

p.s.s.....the FCC i.d's in both my remotes start with a "A"
does that mean i have to find another remote that starts with the same letter or something like that?

Search around, some of them can be programmed, but the FCC ids have to line up

long story short I took the brains out of the original remote that came with the car and put them into a remote that I had from my old Rl. And somehow when I moved the original remote casing, that came with the car got lost, I have no clue what the fcc id is. And know due to my lack of modification to the Rl remote case, the little chip inside it no longer works. Exhausting...
