![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Ok, just wondering if all the wheel locks that acura sells have same pattern...
I mean it would make sense if they had slightly different patterns but then I would be D@mmed if it's not hte case....
since most of the parts that acura made are mass produced, even the wheel locks may have same patterns.
On the same note, do you guys think that the chip that's embedded into hte keys also have same codes???
I am just paranoid i gues..

If they are the same, that would eliminate the purpose of putting them on in the first place! ![](http://www.acura-tl.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif)

the chip in the keys are have different codes on each key, and also the wheel locks have different patterns i guess so you have to special order them also, should have gotten a number with your wheel locks in case you lose your bolt remover...

The wheel locks are made by McGard. Whether or not there is a "master" key is not known. Someone at McGard might be able to help.
