Hi I am new to this board and I recently purchased a 2001 3.2 tl and for some reason the remotes that came with the car are not responding. I believe that they need to be reprogrammed. My local dealers won't help and try to say that i have to bring it in and pay money for them to make sure they need to program it and then they will charge even more to program. I know there is a special procedure to make the alarm brain and remotes program through putting the key in the ignition and pushing certain buttons but I don't know it exactly for an acura.

I really need your help
Thanks in advance:p

Here are the instructions. Also, don't hesitate to use the "search" button on the left. There's a lot of good information already on this site (like the answer to your question) just waiting to be found.

Welcome to the forums.

I finally figured it out...Thanks to a very nice dealer who tried to do it for free. The stupid remotes are the wrong ones...They are from the cl not for the tl now they want like 75 a remote for new ones

Try ebay motors, i.e. ebay.com, they have used remotes for Acuras, these are about half the price of the ones from the dealers.
