What is the difference between DRIVER KEY 1 and DRIVER KEY 2???

The reason I ask is because I lost driver key 1 and to replace cost $132, but I can buy an extra Key 2 for $80, both brand new with warranty. Are they both identical in functionality? If so I might as well save the money and have 2 key 2s.

I think that will work if only one driver. Otherwise the seat and mirrors would reset each time you use a diff key.

When you unlock your car using either key, the seat and mirrors adjust to the programmed setting for either driver 1 or driver 2 depending on which key you use.

The TSX doesn't have memory mirrors. You have to step up to the TL for that feature.

Wouldn't you have to pay them to program it? In which case, there will be no savings at all vs. just buying it from them directly?

No. Because they charge $175 for just the key. I can just take care of the service writer as far as programming.

TSX mirrors only move if you switch to reverse
