New Key for my 2002 TL
Hey guys,
I love this site and just bought a 1 yr old TL TypeS. I have to say this car is awesome to drive and I'm reading the information on this site as fast as I can...... but I do have one question. When I got my car last month, I was only given 1 remote and 1 key. I notice on Ebay there is an auction for aftermarket "blank" key with transponder(Item number: 2424235575). What exactly does this mean? Do I need to get it program by dealership even after the key been duplicated by locksmith??? What's the best way to get another key, from dealership or aftermarket....
What about remote??? I found a 3 buttom remote without trunk release (I think it's from MDX, Item number: 2424440071 ). Will this work for 2002 TL-S??? Your inputs are greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

If I recall correctly the transmitter has to be the one specificly for the '02-'03 TL for it to work.
The key has a chip in it. It will need to be programmed to your car. The remote will also need to be programmed.
I don't recall if the instructions are in the manual. Try a search on this site for the instructions as they have probably been posted.
Congrats on your purchase and welcome. Remember this "The search is your friend"

The key has to be programmed by dealer (I had to pay $40). Remote programming instructions have been posted here, do a search. When you buy a remote, make sure FCC ID is the same as your existing remote.

that's chip you guys are talking about in the key, i'm guessing that's only for the TL-S or is my 2k TL included?
by the way, my insurance asked me if i had a TL or TL plus, anyone know the difference?

I was in the same boat with my '99. Don't waste your time with the ones on eBay. I got one master and one valet key from my local dealer for $22/each and the master has the red A on it. The bad part was they clipped me for cutting and programing. I did get a couple of transmitters from eBay and they work just fine.

I just got a key made for my 02 TL-S and the dealer charged me $45 total (key + cutting + programing). My new key has a white A not red! They said they were all white and they had no red. My original key is all black.
