I decided to write an intruction to the correct way to program the stock Acura lock/unlock key fob.

Admin's, maybe a sticky would be a good idea seeing as how maybe people have asked about this operation.

Programming the Transmitter

NOTES:

• This system accepts up to two transmitters.
• Entering the programming mode cancels all learned
transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must
reprogram all the transmitters once you’re in the
programming mode.

1. Open the driver’s door.

2. Push up the driver’s door master power door lock to
the unlock position. Hold it there for the rest of this
procedure.

3. Insert the key in the ignition switch, then remove it.
Repeat this four more times within 10 seconds.
(Steps 3 and 4 must be completed within 10
seconds, or the system will exit the programming
mode.)

4. Insert the key in the ignition switch. Make sure the
power door locks cycle to indicate that the system
has entered programming mode.

5. Press the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” button on the
transmitter. Make sure the power door locks (all
except the driver’s door) cycle to indicate that the
transmitter has been accepted.

6. To program a second transmitter, press its “LOCK”
or “UNLOCK” button within 10 seconds.

7. Release the master power door lock switch to exit
the programming mode.

Ordering a Transmitter

Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Acura
dealers. Order them from American Honda using
normal parts ordering procedures.

Batteries for the Transmitter

The battery number is CR2016. Each transmitter uses
two batteries.

 

does that work for the 1996 2.5 also?

 

Doesn't look like it, sorry. Only 1998 2.5 models. UNLESS there is by chance a factory installed security system already in place. Which I don't think would be likely.

 

1995 thru 1997 2.5 models had a dealer installed accessory kit.

I have the instructions for that if needed.

 

hook it up w/ those instructions please!!

 

Why would the instructions be any different than the ones I posted?

 

Different manufacturers and the remotes are of a much older design.

 

I got down to the last step. And after the door lock cycle sounds, I pressed the Lock button, then the "lock and unlock door" cycle. And then my doors all remaind unlock. I then release the master lock switch down. (but in your last step, after u press the Lock button, it should lock all doors). Then I pull out my key, and tried the remote, it's not working. I am not sure it's the remote i got from ebay is not working properly or something i missed. I am getting so close of getting it to work. So, i am not sure what went wrong. ???? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Does anyone have instructions for reprogramming the key fob on a 99 TL

 

99 is a 2nd generation TL.

However, here are the instructions

Programming the Transmitter

NOTES:

• This system accepts up to three transmitters. The
transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter will be erased.

• Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the programming mode.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

2. Within 4 seconds, press the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” button on the transmitter. Make sure the transmitter is aimed at the receiver in the passenger’s multiplex control unit.

3. Within 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times. Use the same transmitter used in step 2.

5. Within 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

6. Within 4 seconds, press the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode. Press the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” button again.

7. Press the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” button on each transmitter you want to program. Make sure the power door locks cycle after you push each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted the transmitter’s code.

8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

 

ken, can u post the info for 96-97 2.5 tl's?

the dealer said the system only took one transmitter, and i didnt think that was right. thx in advance

 

For '95 - '97 2.5 TL's, the transmitter is not programmable as it is part of a Kenwood unit sold with it

'98 2.5 TL's get the same as the 3.2's

 

o well, i can live with one, as i am the only one who drives it. or if other people want to drive it in the future we can get an alarm put in

 

What is the FCC ID# for 1998 2.5TL keyless entry? Is it kobuta1t or kobuta2t?


Thanks in advance,
misscutejag8

 

1t for me.

 

im confused, i have a 96 2.5 and i dont have a keyless remote, if i get a remote can i program it so it would work??if so can someone post up the directions

 

I don't know about that, but it works for me. I bought the remote and the dealer programmed it for me free of charge. Charge me 65$ for the remote.

 

The dealer had to special order it based on your control unit. The fobs are programmed by Kenwood.

 

hey i have a 1997 2.5TL do you guys know how much it would be to get a keyless entry system installed from the dealer?

 

I finally got mine working - 1998 3.2TL Premium. I ordered the remote from www.keylessride.com - $81 shipped. I couldn't get it to program at first and was beginning to think I didn't have a keyless module. However, here is what I found: the Step #3 above must be completed VERY, VERY quickly. At first, I did the insert-remove-5-times thing quickly but not really rushing or anything. Probably did it in 3-4 seconds. Wasn't going into programming mode. I had to go all Jet-Li on that mofo - in and out 5 times in about 2 seconds, and bingo. Anyone having trouble getting into programming mode may want to try that.

 

There is a '95-'98 remote on ebay right now. I bought an extra one last year just in case. $8.00

i got a 97 tl 2.5. my friend ha an extra remote for his 99 honda. can i use that?

 

No. The '99's system is totally different.

 

I don't think the keyless entry was available on the 2.5TL

 

It is, but its a Kenwood system that has to be bought COMPLETE, it cannot be programmed, it is matched to the actual box/unit.

 

I just bought a 96 3.2TL. The car doesn't come with the remote. Which remote is compatible with this car?

 

This one looks like mine. It will probably work.

Does any1 have the programming instructions for 1996 2.5 TL?

 

I would love those instructions. I have a 97 2.5TL with an 'acura keyless entry system' (FCCID GJ808E61-02) which hasn't worked for years.

jwsh

 

okay my bad if this is a repost but i jus got off the phone with acura and they said that i have to send in the brain number to the mainland and they have to program it for me. total cost with a discount for me is about 90 dollars. I was jus wondering if this was true.

 

What are the ID numbers for the two remotes that will work with a 97 3.2TL?

 

hey, i got a question really quick. When i bought my 98 2.5 TL, it didn't come with a key fob, but i have the stock security system and everything, just no fob. can i order a fob and program it for my car, even though it didn't come with one?

 

I tried to use these instructions to program my car with the remote, but now my car only locks, it won' t unlock. I think I have got the system out of sequence, can you please help me fix this problem

 

I bought my car used and it did not come with keyless entry for some reason - so I can assume that if I ever wanted keyless entry I would have to get an aftermarket system? I have a 1997 2.5 TL, hence my question.

 

I have a 96 2.5 TL premium. I think it has secuirty system and keyless entry installed in it. I think security system was installed through Acura but the keyless entry remote that I have is of Crime guard. I want to know can I get an Original Acura remote and program it to my car security system

P.S. Somehow, desired_speeds has one that looks exactly like the original Acura one, but has an H.
