Can the keyless remote be re-programmed without having to go to an Acura dealer? He wants to charge me $90!

What exactly are you trying to reprogram?

yes, my fiancee did this on our '97. I'll ask her when I get home later if she remembers how to do it.

Email me if you don't see a post from me tonight (jbenton@cox-internet.com)

Well when I bought the car, it didn't come with the remote. So, the Acura dealer said that I could purchase a new one, but that they would have to program it. I'm not sure if he means doing something to the remote, or to the car

They do charge you that much to program the remote. I went in one day to see if i could get a second set of keys for my car. $75 for the key and $75 to program it. $150 for they key and the alarm. If you ask me, that's ridiculous.

I broke on of my remotes and they charged me 32 for the remote and programmed it for me. It should be in the manual...

I think something like...turn the key to check engine, then turn off, the green key symbol flashes, click the remote buttons to lock, then do it again or something like that. Sorry...It was a while ago..

I know if you do have the remote that came with the car, and have to reprogram it, (ex: changing batteries), you can just point it at the car and hit any of the buttons six times in a row, and that will reprogram it. I don't know if it is a brand new remote, if that procedure will work or not. You might try it though.

I really doubt it because what would prevent me from getting a remote and then pointing it at any other cl?

I have a remote from a brand new Accord that I ganked, does anyone know if there is any way to program that remote for my CL? Acura told me that they make the remotes different for different makes, so it may or it may not... but either way they want $30 up front to try to program it weather it works or not. If anyone finds out how to program these damn things, let me know, cause I could use an extra remote... my other Acura one got smashed. The alarms and keyless systems are made by Alpine, so I wonder if they can help us?....

Ok...try this to reprogram so you dont need to pay all that money!

1. Turn the ignition switch on (II on the ignition)
2. W/in 1-4sec, push the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the keyless receiver unit. (Just at the steering wheel is fine)
3. W/in 1-4sec, turn the ignition switch off
4. W/in 1-4sec, turn the ignition switch on(II)
5. W/in 1-4, push the transmitter lock or unlock button w/ the transmitter aimed at the receiver again.
6. W/in 1-4sec, turn the ign. switch off
7. W/in 4sec, turn the ignition switch On(II)
8. w/in 1-4sec, push the transmitter lock or unlock again.
9. w/in 4 sec, turn the ign off
10. w/in 4 sec, turn the ign ON
11. W/in 1-4, push the transmitter again
12. Confirm you can hear the sound of the door actuators. W/in 1-4sec, push the trans lock or unlock button again.
13. W/in 10sec, aim the transmitters (up to three) whose codes you want to store at the receiver, and press the transmitter lock or unlock buttons. Confirm that you can hear the sound of the door lock actuators after each transmitter code is stored.
14. Turn the ignition switch off, and pull out the key.
15. Confirm proper operation with the new codes


There you go! Sorry this is from the helms but my scanner is broken right now.

No more scratches thanks to the dumbass who walked on my car and had to pay to have it repainted.

I think we should move this thread to FAQ.

For my sanity, I translated the instructions because I kept losing my place while reading and doing...
ON > PUSH > OFF/ON > PUSH > OFF/ON > PUSH > OFF/ON > PUSH [Door click] > PUSH same remote you started with then PUSH all additional remotes. > OFF > remove key and test.

BTW, Honda FCC ID A269ZUA106 works, but there's no trunk button. Honda FCC ID NHVWB1U523 does not work.

I have a 1999 Mazda 626, and the little black circle thingy broke so now my key's don't attach to the remote any longer.

I was looking online for a replacement remote and its around $50, Which I don't have right now. What I DO have is an old spare remote for a 2002 Mercury Sable.

Does anyone know if its possible to reprogram the mercury remote to work on my mazda? Help!!

uh, you know this is an acura forums right? besides that i would think the remotes are on different frequencies. if people were able to use other brand makers remotes then there would be more burglaries.
