Where can I find the keyless entry remote for 00tl?

 

http://www.autotechs.com/subcat98.htm

 

Or try ebay. They sell for around $20.

 

hey men, i got an extra one from ebay i can spare...they work fine, i use 1 on my TL i have an "incase i cant find my keys" one and a spare...their easy to program...PM me.

 

does my vin differentiate the code on the back of the remote?

 

Would the 02-03 fits the 99-01 remote??

 

The dealer says no... the 02-03 have 3 buttons, the 99-01 have only 2....

 

really?? I got Lock, Unlock, Trunk, and Painc bottoms on my remote.
Isn't it same as the 02-03?? Please help!!

 

Then I guess the dealer is wrong... I am just qouting what the dealer said...

check out this site:

Tell me do you have the remote pictured first or second??? Also check FCC ID #'s....

 

umm, all buttons are the same for 99-even 04, 4 in total: Panic, Lock, Unlock, Tunk......

 

trunk

 

What the dealer should have said was the security programs between the 99-01's and the 02-03's are different, so the remotes are not interchangeable. However, you can do what I did and gut a 02-03 remote and stick the internals of a 99-02 remote inside. The buttons all line up, it just takes time to do it right.

 

NO, 02-02, the 04 and the 99-01 remotes are not compatible on diff years...

Yes, all remotes have 4 buttons unless you got en aftermarket alarm.

No, dont buy from http://www.autotechs.com/subcat98.htm

Yes, im bored @ work.

for the dud who wanted a 99-01 remote, make sure the number on the back of the remote is for your car...there are 2 combinations of it...checkerau man!

i got a remote for you, i can give it to you anywhere under $20shipped

 

no one said that they are compatible....

 

orcaatk thats pretty cool with the remote switch, but why?

 

im just clearing the point broda...

 

what i want to know do they make a plastic key for our TLs like for the Benz, they are flat keys that you can keep in your wallet in case you get locked out??? now that i'll be interested in... i already had a few incidents with my car locking out on me.

 

I prefer the look of the 02-03 fob to the 99-01. Purely aesthetics (and I wanted to see if it could be done).

 

You could always get a normal key cut, and stick it in a card that then goes in your wallet (Caddy did that for the longest time). The only thing is, the key will get you in your car, but won't be able to start it unless you've disabled your immobilizer (ie, have an aftermarket alarm or something).

 

Go to your dealer and get a key without a chip. Dealer will cut it for you either at not cost or for a few bucks. Trim plastic fob from that key and carry flat metal part in your vallet.
That's what I have done. Cannot start the car, but can open the door and glove comp.

 

yeah, i know, but normal keys dont sit in the wallet nicely, i want the thin plastic just to open the door to get to my keys that maybe locked in my car. =]

 

mlionel thanx for thr idea

 

In California, any local AAA office will make a free plastic wallet copy of your key... of course you have to have a AAA membership.

 

lemme just say that i bought a remote on ebay and it didn't work.....it was cosmetically identical, and codes "supposedly checked out" with acura, i tried to program it, and it didn't work.....took it to acura, they said i can't use it because they don't know why....so i'd go and buy it from somewhere online (like that link on the 2nd or 3rd thread).....it's your best bet. lata

 

I was told by Acura, NYC that there are different codes for TL-P & TL-S. TL-S has seat memory FCC E4E / OMRON G8D & TL-P FCC begins with KOBUT...

I think I'll get one of these for now then upgrade to a remote start alarm w/window roll down/up...

 

I recently purchased a 2003 TL and it came with one Key and one Remote. I have been reading and looking around and I am likely going to purchase one on ebay. My primary question, however, is in regard to the Entry Remote. I realize that the codes have to match up on the back on the Remote. Mine are worn though. Is there another way to get this code, maybe on the car itself?

One the Remote:
FCC: E4E ...the next character is either a G or Q...and after that there isn't anything left
The other code below is G8D-44 ...after that there isnt anything either

I guess i'm hoping that this is enough to decipher the full string. Thanks!
