it looks like its got all the functions our keyfob has, so i wonder could u take apart the honda key, switch out the metal part, chip, and circuit board with the CL stuff and make it work!


also check out these cool switchblade keys that just came out on the aftermarket. Unfortunatly they don't have fob functions built in

 

yes...a member on here took the gut out of the CL fob and put it in a new MDX fob. you wouldn't take the button or anything else...just the circuit board.

 

whoa cool im gonna search and try and link the thread, if anyone knows it, please link it then

 

the name of that member is HyDrOpOnIkToKa. he also got the MDX steering wheel on is 1st gen too.

 

is the metal part of the key cut the same as ours? as in assuming u could switch the internals, could u cut the key to a CL or would u need to switch the metal out too?

 

so that would be 3 possible remote sources for internals...

 

I think i saw a member use the 2nd gen CL/TL remotes as well.. I would love to have the flip out key like the VW's have..

FOB = Fall Out Boy?

 

yea it would be nice to have a switchblade key for the 1st gen

 

was there a diy for the mdx steering wheel install????

 

yeah my friend with an audi has that type of key...anyone find the link?

 

first image crapped out, here's what they key looks like.

sure would be nice to be able to edit that post...

 

if it looks like that then i might as well just my fukin key! that shit doesn't look any better!

 

i dont think the key will fit because the keys are square, and ours are the old style pointed

 

Pretty sure thats an uncut key....

 

no my mom has the new crv keys, they're square. and my uncle has an 04 accord, also square

 

heres the Cut CRV key and a uncut cl key

 

ok stupid question.. kindof off topic...need to get a key cut do the 97 CL's have chips in the keys? I dont think they do but not sure..

 

no chip

 

cool thanx jsut double checkin!!

 

97 no chip, 98-99 have chips in keys, just to clarify for s

not really a big fan of that key

 

cool thanks

 

That key would be really nice if it had all the buttons built into it. Since, it doesn't I see no reason to make the change.

If anyone knows of key that has the buttons and is also a "switch-blade" type, post it up.

My dad used to have an '04 Accord with that key. Now he's gotta Pilot and an Odyssey. The Accord key is very similar to the Pilot and Odyssey keys. The only difference is that it doesn't have the trunk release button. If anyone wants pics comparing the sizes of the keys to the CL one, let me know I have all three.

 

i still cant find this, can anyone help?

what up folks, hydroponiktoka chiming in again

ya , my homie ding69 (member here) is the master of remote swaps he made one for me , i got thrown into a pool soon after and it was ruined , i made another one myself!

u have to swap the guts from the original to the new, (you will have to file down the sides of the 02+ remote case, so the old will fit)

jimmy!, holla at me

 

how did u put a mdx steering wheel on ur 97 cl?????

 

i have a 99

 

hey yo, not to hijack the thread, but hows that port / polish working for you... did you ever post any info about it?

 

:update:

^^ its ok, i was going to put a turbo on my f23, but decided against it after buying an H22 and built all the internals, installed a t4. I was about to install when i decided that it would be a waste of time putting that engine in my heavy ass car, therefore i sold my engine and made some profit and decided to keep my f23 and put on airbags. I just bought a '06 Tahoe and put on 24' giovannis

 

port & polish?

 

my friend owns Jotech racing and he did it for free, since i did him a favor

 

Just ing you.

 

 

that was the best emoticon response in the history of... whatever it is we're doing. NOW begone you hijackers! I am actually expanding this and buying a VW switchblade key too. It IS possible to put in the security bypass transponder (i think) into the vw key, and I'm hoping i can find a way to get our chip plugged up to its buttons. If I figure it out then comes the biggest hurdle of all: getting that ugly ass VW replaced with a purty A

 

If you do it, can you make a write-up with pics?

 

fuquea, anyone got a vw remote i can have, i have a spare CL remote to work with or the Accord 03-05 one?

 

Hey first gen'rs how has life been!?!?! I don't know if any of you know, or care but after selling my CL i moved on to a BMW X5 and after a year of that moved on to a brand new 06 TL Auto Nav!!!!! LOVE THE CAR, had it for a week and a half. Gonna do a full a-spec on it, keep it clean.

NOW, for the remotes. This was a LONG time ago, but I can remember.....

You need to take your orig 1st gen remote and remove your board/battery and throw the casing out in the trash. Take the second gen remote and cut the rubber board wrap/button buffer so it fits flush and does not wrap around the baord anymore. After this, you need to sand, cut and grind parts of the control board and the inside portion of the new remote. the bottom portion of the remote, the side where the "A" emblem is. Test fit it and make sure, most importantly, that your board is making a good connection with the battery. This is the hardest part and takes the most work. I should have done a DIY how to with pics, but never got around to it.

Any other questions feel free to PM me. I really don't come into the first gen section anymore, but im in the 3G TL all the time.

Good Luck!

 

BTW, a dremel is almost a MUST to do this job:wink:

 

hhmmm...i should take my dads spare 03 accord key and do this..we'll see what happens
