Key Question on Programming
I searched this site and found out that I need the dealer to program the key to the car is this correct? also if I were to buy a extra key, say of eBay or the dealer will any Acura key work with my 02 TL Type-S? Or is it like the remotes that have the FCC ID etc? Any help would be appreciated...

i believe the actual key has a ship in it that transmit's the code, so in order to get a new key, you would have to order it throuugh a dealer, where they can order/program a key just using your vin number

remove master key from ignition. install new key and turn to on...engine off. press gas to floor once. now wait. the security light will blink for about 45-60 seconds, then it will go off if you did it correctly. once the light is off, car should start.
For the remote part. in drivers seat WITH DOOR OPEN. start with door unlocked. first put master key in ignition, turn to on, then back off and remove. using the lock/unlock button on drivers door. press lock.. then unlock 5 times.(lock,unlock,lock,unlock,lock,unlock,lock,un lock,lock,unlock)
Close drivers door, open drivers door.
Performe lock/unlock procedure again.
insert key in to ignition and turn to on, then back off and remove.(at this point the doors should lock and unlock by themselves ONCE)
Now press both lock and unlock buttons on REMOTE. release after about 1.5seconds. now press just the lock button on remote.
now open and close the drivers door a couple times to close programming. if you did it right, remote will now work.

Programming new key on 2000 TL
Hi guys
Just purchased 2000 Tl with one master (red acura simbol on it) without any buttons on it. Yesterday, I've got a new key cut by dealer (Toronto) for $45 Canadian without programming and 97+tax to program it. I'm wondering how can I program it. The description I found in this thread (5 times gas and 6 times brake) doesn't work for me. Any input is appretiated.
P.S. I successfully programmed new (which is used) remote but to program a key didn't work...the security light *the key sign on dashboard) kept blinking forever
