just wondering, do your keys have the red acura logo? i heard that only the 2000's have the red acura logo and the rest just have a black logo, and so far from what I've seen that seems to be true. can you prove me wrong?

i have a black key with a white logo on it.. its an 03'

'99 with the red logo on the master key, the slave has the black, and valet has the gray logo. I would figure that the older second gens ('99 to '01) all have the red logo on the master key.

I just got my car few days ago. My keys dont have acura logo on it. Mine is 2003 btw.
Instead, it's just plain black with oval shape. Does all 2003 comes with remote starter?
Can I go get the keys replace with the one with Acura logo on it if i go to Acura dealership?

i dont think any of the TLs came with remote start... or am i wrong and mine has remote start

03aspec

MurkyRiversTL

he mentioned earlier up there that its the valet key, and yes it does start the engine, i believe though it can't open the glove compartment

fsttyms1

Valet. It doesnt unlock the glove box which can lock out the trunk.

And it also doesn't unlock the pass through opening in the rear seat right?

luvsmyTL

^ correct.

ftLauTL

Your keys are out of eye sight the majority of the time anyways, but I think the older second gen's (02-03) have black and white, where as the earlier second gen's have black and red

i was only wondering because i bought my car used without the GRAY key. until today, i was working on my radio and bam, i saw the key sticking out but didnt know if it was for my car. it opened the doors but didnt start the car. kinda weird since you guys say it would start the car.

^ It should start the car. Maybe something's wrong with the immobilizer.

my car actually came with one key only so my dad cut me 2 addition keys at his dealership and programed those keys. do all the keys have to get programed at the same time?

hANDYcaptd

iTrader: (5)

^ I don't think they have to be programmed at the same time...

nhn23

iTrader: (4)

thats weird cause it only cranks but no start

hANDYcaptd

iTrader: (5)

Hmm, does the green key light up? or blink?

nhn23

iTrader: (4)

you mean on the cluster? should it light up/blink when i try to start or what?

I went and got a extra key for my 2000 TL it was less then $30(I think $20-$25)The factory key was black with red A. The extra key was black with white A. I like the black and white one better.

The green lighted key on the cluster should be lit when you put the key in and crank it. Check, if it doesn't, then it might be the immobilizer.

Yes they do have to be programmed at the same time. I went to the dealer with a computer problem and went home, my girl went to use the car with her keys an it wouldn't start, I was pissed because they just fixed the car, but when I went to try it started. so I called them and they said that they all have to be programmed at the same time.

Skeete32

NOpe I looked have no choice but to go to the dealer
