Talking 07 tl switchblade key!!

I just found this in TL section, kinda searched for it in tsx section but nothing came up so.... for those who hasn't seen it yet

I want one for christmas

Thanks to everyone for the support and the props.

Pricing...

I can't publish any pricing as of yet. I still have to work out things with the Mod's / Admins. It'll take a little more time but in the long run it's better for everyone.



The Key...

What I do is precision mill the raw '07 key blank to the specifications of the '04-'06 TL key blank.

This is the '07 as you would get it from Acura.


When I'm finished... It looks like this.


It's essentially what Acura would sell you if they decided to make '04-'06 TL folding keys.



Will it work in my car?

More than likely... YES

Here's the models that the key and chip work with.

3rd Gen TL's.. (2004 through 2006) Remote Works
TSX.................(2004 through 2006) Remote Works
Accord.............(2003 through 2006) Remote Works
CR-V................(2006)
Element...........(2006)
Odyssey..........(2005-2006)
Ridgeline.........(2005-2006)
Pilot.................(2006)



How do I get one?

You'll have to wait until the project has been sprinkled with Holy Water by the Admin's. After that there will be a post (possibly a sticky) that will have all of the details.

You can PM me if you want, but to be completely honest a lot of people want this key so... Right now I'm just putting people on a list (my inbox fills up pretty quick so check back if it's full, I check it quite often and make space when needed) .
I also have around 20 keys coming in within the next few days to get a jump on things.



What do I do once I get my key?

Locate a locksmith in your area or take it to the dealer. They will cut the key blank to match your existing key. The chip also needs to be programmed. My locksmith used a hand held programmer that plugged into a port under the dash. It takes around 5 minutes to program the key into your car. I paid $40 to have my key cut and programmed. Somewhere between $30 and $60 seems about right. You'll have to shop around.



Once you are done...

You will have a key that is just as strong and robust as you would have if Acura had given it to you upon delivery of your car with full functionality and no compromises in quality.


Lastly...

Please don't PM me with questions that I can (and will) answer here. Not only will you save me time so that I can get your key to you faster... other members will benefit as a result.

I'll keep you all abreast and no one will get turned away.

Pete
