bump/update

 

Checking for my keys daily.

 

Don't know if you tried to order Memory 1 or 2. I tried ordering Memory 1, my dealer said he would have it in 4 days. But after 3 weeks nothing came. So I cancelled my order and ordered Memory 2 and I got my key today, ordered it last Thursday

 

Exact same hting happened to my memory 1 order. Dealer said 4 days. It's been 2 weeks or so.

I just got to thinking. Heck maybe I should switch to memory 2. But what benefit do I get out of getting my key early? I have no clue what I'm doing.

 

i ordered 2 driver 1 keys about three weeks ago. i just got off the phone with the dealer and they said the keys were released today. so they told me it would be here today; wednesday the latest. we'll wait and see....

 

one more step forward to getting this mod done!!!very excited

 

My keys are here. Going to pick them up.

 

Same here... just got the call.

 

I just got back from the dealer. He said the key is going to cost under $50. Is that true? He said it will arrive in one day. How much is everyone paying for their key(s)?

 

I called one of my local dealer and asking 80 bux for TL Key...
That seems to be high

 

YES!!! go moda way!!! our questions will finally be answered soon =D

 

$35 for everything for me

 

Come on moda.....work your magic!

 

Alright guys/gals, I've successfully disassembled and reassembled the TL key. I've also removed the immobilizer chip and programmed the transmitter to work with our car. Next thing to do is figure out how the hell I'm gonna get a key epoxied in there. This key mod is 2x as difficult as the USDM Accord mod. It is not for the faint of heart. Acura/Honda did a good job making the immobilizer chip nearly impossible to get out.

So far, I'm 50% the way there.

 

go moda way go, we are all waiting!

 

moda.....you're our hero!

BTW, the dealers in NYC still will not sell me a switchblade without VIN #

 

I have work in the early morning, so I will take the weekend to get a copy of my key made and begin the process to sculp a new key until the guy on the TL forum gets a 100% on milling the OEM key into our standard profile. I'm concerned because our TSX (and TL key for that matter) are wider across the profile. That means even if you mill it correctly, once you cut the correct profile into it, the tumblers may fall deeper and thus not work. He seems to feel he has it covered and he is extremely knowledgeable, so I have faith. I'll keep you all posted.

 

Hurry up with the key. Instead of eating turkey and spending time with the family for Thanksgiving, you should work on the key. The key is more important. hahaha. j/k Spending time with the family is priceless. Cant wait for your results.

 

 

My key has arrived as well

 

can't wait....

 

Same >_<

 

well, just finished mine yesterday and heads up for those that want to do this themselves. THEY ARE ALOT HARDER THEN THE ACCORD KEY!!! sorry didn't take pictures or documented the the mod, so i guess you guys have to wait for moda_way to do his

 

I want it! I want it!I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it!

 

++++++++++1 me too, me too,

 

does the key flip inside as well???

 

if you mean does the key fold inside the fob, then yes.

 

god this would be heaven

 

 

 

Ryan, Any update?

 

did u go with milling down the key or taking it apart and putting ur orginal tsx key in it?



good job btw.

 

I think bngu1 also put a copy/original key into it. I have not yet done it because I need to get a copy of my key and have been with the family. I am still looking at the best way to minimize what I cut and what I don't because most are just cutting the entire bottom off. I don't want to do it that way.

 

I was patiently waiting. Now hurry up. hahaha

 

We've seen it before, and here we're seeing it again...Moda does things right.


He can take (nearly) as long as he wants, in my book.

 

Barring a business trip to San Francisco, I'm going to see if I can make it work this week. I want this to be clean and simple enough for others to do as well. Again, I don't mind helping folks, but I am a big proponent to good DIY instructions.

 

ok moda_way, have it ur way, the moda_way... : ) take ur time bud, just let us know the best way to do it...cheers!

 

I feel the others that have done this have done a very good job too. I just don't like the idea of sawing off the bottom of the key. My focus, to maintain precision of the mechanism is to just take off the material to get the key out. Then I will cut up a hardware store key to fit, epoxy, and test. Of course I will take pics along the way.

 

I'm supposed to be 5th in line for FLBusa's key mod....hope it comes soon...
