moda,
I have one of these keys from a '00 Volkswagen Beetle just laying here (long story). Let me know if you want me to send them your way to play around with... (for whatever random reason).

 

I've got an RDX key right here in my pocket if anyone needs pics of it. I know you are more interested in the TL key, but it is the same. The transmitter for the RDX key even has the empty slot of the the fourth button inside, but it is covered up and empty inside. The 07 MDX key is the same as the TL key. has the button to release the power tailgate.

I will tell you this though, the screws inside my RDX key are so freakin' tight around the spring loaded section, I haven't been able to get them out. You'd have to have a screwdriver that is matched perfectly with the screws in there in order to get them out and not destroy them.

 

I remember when I called this one dealership, they wanted 190 dollars.

 

w00t!

 

Yes, please take a pic of the guts for me. I need a shot of the key where it attaches to the swinging mechanism. I'm less concerned about the transmitter because the RSX guys confirmed it is not going to work with them or us.

moda_way@hotmail.com when you have a chance.

Thanks.

 

I would, but b/c the transmitter is so different, it would be playing around for the sake of playing around. Were you trying to do the conversion?

FYI to all, still no parts from my online source. As soon as they are posted, I'm buying one. If anyone does pick an 07 TL key up, please send pics. I need to start working on this now that we have confirmation (albeit from the dealer) that they would work on the TSX.

 

That's pretty much what I thought you might want it for. I have no use for it. The lady who sold my gf her beetle only had one set of keys, so she gave her this "other" transmitter which she thought could be programmed or whatever. Well turns out with a Volkswagen, you gotta pretty much do everything through the dealer... keywise. So we have no use for it. I thought you would have more use for it than me.

 

wow this is great news!!

 

Check this link out, moda_way, and everyone else. Seems like we are in luck!!!

woo!!! Very good!!!

 

yea so i'm the clubrsx guy everyone is talking about, lol.....

anyway, the tl key is the same with regard to:

-key
-housing (except the tl housing has a cutout for the trunk button)

and that's it! the rdx tansmitter is made by valeo! the tl one is still made by omron. a guy in the tl section was able to program a new tl remote to work with his pre-07 one, so that's good news for all of us, as the tl guys do the same accord mod that all of us do.

sasair- you're right about the screws. i was able to get the two black ones out using a small screwdriver+ vicegrip to give me leverage. the silver screw got stripped and i had to drill it out. the threads for these screws are coated in some sort of blue threadlock glue. i guess they don't want us to mod it!

i posted up some pics of my rdx key ripped apart in the tl section. modding it is not as easy as i thought it would be

that's great....
he just glued it on.....will it break when he try to start the car...haha

we'll see the result soon
and according to that dude.....it's a pain in the ass job?
lets just hope Moda will want to do it for us for some fee....

 

i didn't "just glue it on" cause there is more to it than that... i have also test fitted the key and started the car. it works flawlessly, and is very strong.

^^^^
definitely hot......

 

oh, no button for the trunk?

 

yah...no button
cuz it's for RSX......

 

i don't need one, because i have a hatch..... the lock opens when my doorlocks are open, and there's a handle to unlatch it.

 

Nice job JKautosports. I would like to get some more info from you on what all it took. I'm still waiting for my supplier to post the parts up in their database.

 

As it does as well for our TSX's. Just open the trunk yourselves ffs.

 

oh yea you're right.... i had a tsx loaner car for a few days last year... you guys have a little button to pop the trunk right? like around the license plate area...

i don't know why it's such a big deal then lol...

but in any case, we all need to get the tl transmitter anyway, because the rdx one will not work....

 

OMG! I never knew that existed. I only thought the lever on the driver side was the only thing.

Does the key you modded flip/retract?? If so... pics? (if it's dry)

 

Damn that looks nice.....

 

dang nice....any pics closed?

 

where can I buy the tl remote key???

 

no pics of it closed cause i was test fitting it andit was still wet. i'll get a small vid clip of it when i go home this weekend (i'm out at school).

 

nice, looking forward to it.

 

wtf??? already? Could you mod my key for me with some extra cash?

 

did you say you are out of school?
which school you go to........i am gonna transfer there.....the heck?!?

 

Just to help you out.

Answer:

 

oh haha.....
I wonder how much this mod gonna cost ........ hope i can afford it...

 

Hey moda_way,

Do you have the exact part number for the TL key? Driver 1 and 2...I'm searching through the estore and they have 5 sku's...

35111-SEP-306 - KEY, IMMOBILIZER & TRANSMITTER(MEMORY1) (BLANK) - $35
35111-SEP-307 - KEY, IMMOBILIZER & TRANSMITTER(MEMORY2) (BLANK) - NA - thought this was weird with no price...

35112-SNR-305 - KEY, IMMOBILIZER (SUB) - $21.70 - probably valet key?

35119-SEP-305 - KEY, IMMOBILIZER & TRANSMITTER(MEMORY1) (BLANK) - $35
35119-SEP-306 - KEY, IMMOBILIZER & TRANSMITTER(MEMORY2) (BLANK) - $35

Just wondering which set of sku's should I order...35111's or 35119's...for the 35111's, you can't order driver 2 yet due to NA on price...

thanks in advance!

 

^^ The 07 TL key partnumber is 35111-SEP-306/307 (Driver1/Driver2)

 

I'm working on getting the TL key from a local Acura dealership. I would love to get working on this now, but my online source is very slow to update their catalog. I'll keep folks posted.

 

Okay guys/gals. I have 2 TL keys on order and making their way to me. For now I have to use a local supplier, but if all is good, I should be able to post a DIY next week and throw out an offer to "assist" others if requested.

 

greats news.. keep us posted.

so to sum it all up...
we know that the frequency will work with our cars?
all that is left is to see how we can fit our keys to the switchblade mechanism?

what are the other issues that are left to be resolved?

 

Frequency is a go, I will prove it out unless someone else does before me.

I'm pretty sure I know how I would do this for and OEM key and 90% okay on fitment of a copied key.

Only other issue is to figure out how to make previously modded keys fit. It may come down to scraping that key, harvesting the immobilizer chip and using a copied key. Don't know yet.

But if you've seen my other thread for the DIY, I plan to put the same diligence on this mod as well.

 

^^moda_way, If you get this to work...would mind doing mine with some extra cash. I really dont want to mess up mine. I know I can trust you so please let me know...
thanks,

 

I'll post the info about the mod in a new DIY thread.

As before, I'm no vendor nor am I selling a product, so PM me if you would like more assistance.

 

Ryan is the man...

Can I get a discount if I volunteer to be the guinea pig for the Accord key to TL key mod?

 

hey moda_way, did you just order 2 driver 1 keys or 1 of each? driver 1 and 2? i want to place my order for the keys for myself and/or send them your way with some cash for labor if you do ever decide to mod the keys
