Key Fob

I was hoping one of you 2014+ MDX members can help me
can anyone pop open your keyfobs and take a picture of the internals of your remote (like if you were changing a battery

Looking to use the shell of the 2014 MDX keyfob with the internals of the 2014 RDX smart key since ours wears horribly

Thanks in advance!

The cheap chrome paint & non textured plastic, the black fob like the MDX is similar to the remote start fob for the rdx and is extremely durable...

this is my fob & only 7k on car

(pix are of disassembled unit since i ordered replacement parts from Acura.
The rdx fob you can order in pieces, the MDX only as a whole unit.

From the pics it looks like a 10 year old key fob.


Cheapo Acura.

Dealer will probably say wear and tear not covered under warranty!

My philosophy is let the dealer say no . You might get a surprised and there is nothing to lose.

This fob jacket will help, but not the top part. I like them.
