Anyone know where the transponder is on the 03 CL keys?








im sure you guys know what im talking about.....

 

On your black key its located underneath the plastic, you have to cut the plastic in half to get it out.

 

Thank you sir.

Exactly what part of the key? Directly in the middle? Pics?

 

Let me explain the title........

Im going to take my transponder out of my key.......and put it into an Accord key. I think this has been done before but im not sure

 

wateva floats ur boat man

 

Here ya go: A full DIY writeup for you from a bud of mine at club RSX.

Scroll back a few pages to find more direct pics but you get the idea.

Edit, AZine is being gay and not letting me post up links...but go to google, type in TL switchblade key, click on the second link from the top bringing you to Club RSX, go to page 43.

=)

 

Yea I know......weird......but I hate having a key and then the keyfob seperate.

 

thanks bro! Let's see if I can find it

 

You have to modify the link a bit because most forums discourage links posted to "rival" forums.

BTW...

I expect a full DIY or

 

lol, yea, let us know if it works out.....would like to try this, but i'll let you be the guinea pig on this!

 

lol will do. Im ordering the Accord key today

Ok...Mr. Honda!

 

Blackberry picture time!!


I got a spare made at a hardware store just to test if the transponder will work outside of the original key

Then i took a small hacksaw and started cuting the plastic in half. I used a magnet to locate the Transponder on what side of the key it was closest to so i wouldnt cut through it. On my key, the magnet picked it up on the side that has "T5" engraved on it, so i cut the other side

The back side should pop off with some elbow grease. The transponder is right in the middle. Its covered in rubber...........sorry for the pics

Trim around it until you have as little plastic as possible.

Now i have to wait until the key i ordered arrives to continue....

Im hoping the end product looks like this:



found those pics while searching on

 

hmmm this may be the newest mod to hit the cl side

 

You gettin the Acura side from an RDX or something? I'd love to do this but wouldn't want it to have a giant H

 

maybe......maybe not

 

Hey is it possible for us to do the TL switch blade key, I see TSX guys doing it.

 

^Maybe but I don't know. I get confused with all that FCC #'s not being compatible. But I'm pretty sure I can get the Accord key to work with my CL

 

hahah ok I'll wait til the final results

 

The switchblade key IS possible..it's just a major PITA.

I don't think it will be programmable, Marcus from HeelToe says it won't be.

Why? No idea. Going to ask an Acura stealership around here to see if I can find anything out.

Either way, if you can find a new Accord key for this cheap..

Accord Key for $20-something dollars > Switchblade for a little over $170

Annnnd now we're waiting on you Anthracite

 

you better deliver or else....

 

damn nice! id love to do this to my CL keys, i wish we kept the key's from my sister's 03 accord after she wrecked it

 

That's kinda cool.

I like the creativity.

 

Too much pressure, I'm going to

 

The FCC on the Accord matches the CL? Or are you going to try to swap the guts of the key fob into the Accord key?

I have a switchblade key sitting on my desk. Ive had it for a few months. Im trying to figure out a way to get it to work with the CL.

 

I dont think the numbers match but i figure theyre the same year, maybe same frequency.



Im still waiting on the seller to send me shipping info on the key

 

Please, please, please, please keep me updated. This reminds me, I should sell that switchblade key.

 

^ I was actually about to buy a switchblade..but something inside my head tells me not to spend $125 on a key and another $40 for programming....

 

If you're interested I have one in the BM.

 

Eh, its an insanely good price, but like you, I'm not so tech savvy.

I'm interested to see what happens with the Accord key though.

Hurry the hell up Anthracite!

 

Sorry to keep you guys waiting but after not receiving any info from the seller, I sent him an email.

His response was this.........

"Thanks you for your interest in this item. I am currently unable to ship it out."


He did refund my money so I did make another purchase I decided to go a different direction while some of you will probably prefer the accord key, others will like this surprise

 

Switchblade!!

 

If it's an all-in-one jobbie I will like it. Post it up!!!

 

too expensive
but you're on the right track
All-in-one "jobbie" is correct
As for pics, you'll have to wait until the final product.

 

You sir, suck donkey balls.

 

Oh so you're gonna...

nevermind. haha

 

Okay, so you're using a Lamborghini key?

 

yes, thats exactly what i am going to do
Ferrari actually

 

universal remote?

 

Can you give us a hint? Does it have the (A) on the back or the [H]?
