Need a new key fob
Hey guys, my key fob is not working and I was wondering if anyone of the Acura ones from ebay would work? Does the FCC ID # has to match up or something? Or is anyone here selling one?
Thanks.
Thanks.

yeah as long as the FCC ID# matches you are ok.
And here are the instructions fresh from the Acura sheet:
Programming the Transmitter
NOTE:
Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmittter codes, so none of the prviously programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all the transmitters once you're in the programming mode. The system accepts up to four transmitters.
To keep the system from exiting the programming mode, complete each step within 5 seconds of the previous tep, and program the transmitter s within 10 seconds of each other
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on one of the transmitters (A non-programmed transmitter can be used for this step.)
3. turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times with the transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch ON.
6. Press the LOC or UNLOCK button on the same transmitter. Check that the power door locks cycle to confirm that you're in the programming mode.
7. Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on each transmitter. (You can program up to four transmitters per vehicle.) Check that the power door locks cycle after you push each transmitter button, confirming that the system has accepted the transmitter's code.
Turn off. Pull key out.
If just replacing the battery sync the transmitter to the system by pressing the LOCK or UNLOCK button six times

You can also check out http://www.keylessride.com. They're more than ebay, but they offer programming help over the phone if you need it. They've been around for some time. I only recommend them over ebay if you want a new remote or don't trust ebay.

djz, there are two I know of:
FCC ID: KOBUTAH2T
and the one that's on mine ( '99 3.0 )
FCC ID: A269ZUA108
Does your current remote have a sticker in the back? It has a white part with the serial # with the FCC directly above it. The FCC ID is really small. It took me like 10 minutes to find it, so maybe you're just blind like me...haha
seriously though, I think the latter # I wrote above is the right one. It's the one that's on mine...but as far as I know, they both will work.
