I just picked up the 02 TLS remote today, and i printed the intructions out and im about to go try and program it..i do have one question though...on step where it says ("3. W/in 10sec, aim the transmitters (up to three) whose codes you want to store at the receiver, and press the transmitter lock or unlock buttons. Confirm that you can hear the sound of the door lock actuators after each transmitter code is stored") do i need to take the current remotes and aim them w/the new tl remote, or just the new TL one??

 

Just the NEW one.

Thanks...now its off to the garage to try and get this to work

 

Well... did it work?

 

Maybe it went bad and he locked himself IN the car without a functioning remote and can’t get out to post.

Can you imagine calling a locksmith saying you're locked IN the Car????

Reminds me of an old joke...

Hillbilly truck driver locks his keys in the Cab of his Semi. It's raining outside and he has to run a mile to get the closest service station to call the company to get them to send someone with an extra key. He's pissed because it's pouring rain, and he gets soaked. So he finally calls into HQ and tells the story and finishes by saying... "Tell them to hurry up because it's pouring rain and I left my windows wide way open!"

I know, it's bad....

 

It worked...and didnt get locked in the car..lol.....alot easier than i thought it would be....I had to go to work so didnt get to post a reply till i got to work

 

Cool... How much was the remote... did you get it from an Acura Dealer??

 

It was $47 and i did get it from in acura dealer. I was in today for my 15k service and just happend to think about it and ask the parts guy if they had them...he tried to tell me it wouldnt work w/a CL, so i told him thats ok..just sell me the remote, much better looking than the old one.

 

Wow... that's more than I expected. Maybe I'll wait until they're on Ebay!!

 

I bought one on Saturday as well. The parts guy was really cool. He told me to go into the service area and tell one of the guys to program it for me!!! The service guy was really cool too!! He told me it wouldn't work!! I said try programming it, and if it didn't work, I would do it at home. He did and it worked fine!!! Then he said that my original remote wouldn't work, we tried it and it did!!! He was kinda surprised. Then he said the the CL only had room for two remotes in its memory. So my third remote, memory seat 2, wouldn't work. I told him I would check when I got home. Well I called him and to his AMAZEMENT, I told him all three worked perfectly!!! At least he learned something. The service I got was great. They didn't have to do anything for me, but they did!! Hats off to Acura of Oakland service and parts department!!!
