I drive an 2000 Acura 3.2 TL. I all my keys were misplaced (not my fault) and I had to go through all this bullshit to get my car towed from Chicago to the suburbs where the nearest Acura dealership was. They cut a key and programmed it for me for I think $80. The keyless entry remote they said would cost $130 with programming which I think is bullshit as well. My cousin still has an old remote for his 90-something integra and I was wondering if I could use that to program it. I'm sure that programming it wouldn't be that hard if possible.

If I can't program it, where can I get a new remote for cheaper than the dealership? Local mom n pop shops perhaps? Also, can I go to shops like these to get my key cut/programmed for a cheaper price? How cheap can I get one more key and 2 remotes from either local shops/online? Thanks.

 

go on ebay and look for a 2000 tl remote, you can most likey find a used one for around $30-$40... and program it yourself...
search the forums on how to program the remote yourself.

 

Look in car manual or ask on the dealership guys to program it for you (that's what I did)
