Hi Guys,

I recently got a 2001 CL-S and I was looking at getting a nicer looking key (later model Acura switchblade style).

Now I have read many threads on this forum stating that it cannot be done due to size differences between our keyless transmitter and the casing etc...

So on to my question:

Can I just swap in a keyless module from a more recent Acura into my CL and use that for the keyless then remove the immobilizer chip from the current key and tape/glue it inside of a newer switchblade remote's casing granted the FCC-ID matches between the new keyless remote and module?

If I have made anyone's head explode, I am sorry...also thanks for the help in advance!

 

Be the first and try it and let us know how it turns out.

 

I doubt it will work. But give it a shot and let us know.

 

Its been tried in the past by many on the 2gTL side and all have failed.

 

Wont work.

The furthest you can get is getting the key milled and cut and the immobilizer paired. But the remote itself wont work.

 

Yeah I tried it. I was able to get the car to start & use the key, but the remote functions didn't work.
