I just called my dealer, Paragon Acura in Queens, because I lost one of my keys/remotes over the weekend. The service rep told me that a new one would cost $500 with parts and labor. He stated that one hour of labor to program the key is $125 and the parts are $375. Is this my only option?!?!?!
SOMEBODY please lead me in the right direction...

we charge $75 to program them and the transponder is $315 key is $45. Thats a little cheaper. You can also go to www.keylessride.com and check with them. They charge $289 for the transponder but you have to get the key and programming done by a dealer. So you could save like $90 or just go through your dealer and be done with it. You should tell them though that you can save by doing this and ask them to match. I know what we pay for the transponders so they should agree

BTW, my dealer gave me the same price when I asked about the spare key. I immediately elected to hide the second key fob from the wife, who has a tendency to lose keys

Are the oem transponders smaller than the acura ones? I hate how large and bulky the original one is. If you put it on the same key ring with the keys and remote needed for another vehicle, it's too large to pocket.

Thanks BACKFIRE!!
I just ordered the parts from www.hondapartsunlimited.com and my total with tax and shipping was $241.25.
This is a start. Now I just have to get those greedy bastards at the dealership to make it work!
