Like the title says, is there a limit? I have to back to my dealer to get them to install my remote start, when i took the car home with me the sales person told me to bring both keys back when I returned and they would give me the two keys with remote start buttons, but I kindof want to keep a third as a spare, so i was wondering if there is a limit?

 

That's interesting, my dealer told me that if we were to get the remote system installed, that it comes with the 2 additional keys, and so we'd really have 4 keys, and just from the key cost alone it is almost a wash. Obviously the standard keys wouldn't have the remote start capability, but would have 2 "spares"

 

thats exactly what happened the sales guy didn’t know what he was talking about

 

I have the Acura "Accessory" remote start in my RDX.
You should get your 2 original key fobs back, plus the two new "2-way remote start" fobs. Any of the 4 can start the vehicle.
As you said, these are useful for backups (in case one gets damaged) or if you need to give a key to a valet.

 

yes will work as a spare? As far as valet i could just separate the key from the remote.

 

As everyone stated, you will get back the two original fob remotes.

 

Recently had Remote Start installed on my RDX A-Spec and my dealer gave me back my original keys. Now I have 4 and they all work. I just need to get 2 replacement mechanical keys.

 

Yea I was asking initially, because the rep told me otherwise, I had it installed on Tuesday and got 4 keys in return.




Yea I don't see the need for the mechanical keys. When I had my TL I had 2 keys, my buddy lost one when I asked him to move my car, while I was on vacation, and I never lost the second key. These keys are much bigger and I cant imagine losing them, also don't know how much getting them reproduced would cost.

 

If you give the key to a valet, he can unlock the car, but how can he start it? Doesn't he need the fob?

Don't the remote start fobs come with keys that just need to be cut?

 

My 2 remote with "remote start button" did not come with keys, I just added my two original keys to the "remote start" remotes.. if that makes sense? so now I have two remotes that will lock and start the car but will not start the car or lock the glove compartment.

 

I guess, for what they charge, throwing in at least blank keys is expecting too much. Unbelievable.
