can i put the new key of the TL on my 05TL .....

 

yeah i have two, you have to get blanks, and have them machined because the o5 key i smaller i think... there was a guy diong them on the site thats where i got mine but i dont know if he's still doing them, i've had mine for a while now.

 

ohh but how did you maked work bicause tha diler told me that they dont do that

 

First of all, use spell check, it took me 3 times to understand that. The key will work, but you have to buy the custom MILLED ones where the slots are made into the key. you can buy them from ebay or an acura dealer, there was a thread about that on the main page with the specific dealer that sold them.

 

as of right now FLBUSA is no longer doing them and Oakland Acura ( I spoke with Bill, great guy) has them on back order with no guaranteed ETA.

Just FYI.

 

jajaja i am cuban an i have bin in miami for 3 year that is whay my spell is so bad

and thanks for the post

 

you can if you buy one from me $400.00 shipped!

 

jajaj na thanks

 

damn not even a crack addict would fall for that lol

 

hey if i got it and you don't..and you want it...you'd pay 400.00....

 

jaja that is to mush money

 

or you can just do what i did, and replace the ignition switch, and not have the key milled

 

how did you replace the ignition switch? PM me if you can I have a key but need help.

 

there's no way you aren't intentionally spelling like you're speaking spanglish, I can believe all the grammar errors but "jaja to mush money"? I mean come on!






(I smell a "pinga" or "mierda" comment coming up...)

 

haha I was feelin the same thinggggg.....

But to the OP, you dont have to many options but to change the all the locks and the ignition switch to the 07+ ORRRR mill it yourself like some of the OGs did, or even deltaboxxx in most recent times, ORRRRR buy a pre-milled key, ORRRRR get somebody who knows how to CNC and get it milled for you.


Option is yours

 

i'll take 5

 

You can get blanks from Acura of Peoria.

The 04-06 key is thinner and skinnier than the 07-08. Gonna try to get my blank down to size and ready to be duplucated. I'll keep you guys updated.

 

I have a 2005 with the switchblade key from an 07-08 TL, You have to buy the 07 key from an Acura dealership and get it MILLED, then you have to have it cut and programmed. So dealership can do this all for you, your looking at around $250.

 

I have an '04. I asked my dealership if they can mill it (yes they can cut/program it no problem) but they said they can't mill it nor do they even know anyone that can mill it.

 

^ Same... plus, theres NO WAY I'm gonna pay $250!!!!

 

My dealership here in San Diego, milled it, cut it and programmed it for free. well its a long story - they broke my original key which my buddy (deltaboxxx - you can pm him) had converted into a switchblade key, too complicated to explain but anyway, my dealership broke that key so they were "nice" enough to make me a brand new one. So I know they have the capability of making them. They might not want to for legal reasons since those keys were not intended for 04-06 TLs and if they make you one and something goes wrong you could always go after them to make you a new one or whatever, since they may be trying to avoid all this they could have just said they can't mill it period. I dunno, I would call around to other dealerships and see what they say...

 

so you are talkig about 250 one key

 

fuk. ima call the 2 other acura dealerships in my area and see what they say...

 

omfg.

i called all 4 acura dealers in my area and none of them can mill it nor know a place to get it milled. the only thing they said was "try a locksmith?"

but I heard these can't be milled by a locksmith. am i correct?

 

no, they can't do milling..

 

^ Not 100% true but in general, mainstream locksmiths don't have the proper equipment.

 

you'd be lucky to find a locksmith that has a milling machine in house.....
and also if they have a milling machine, they wouldn't be a locksmith.

 

rofl. so WHO THE F**K can actually mill a key BESIDES flbusa who no longer does it?!

 

HOPEFULLY my friend's dad can get those blanks ready for a locksmith to duplicate. He gets back in town this Sunday so I will try my key blank out first and post results.

 

^ i am up first for your wheels AND key WOOT

 

anyone in the freaking USA can mill the 07 blade down to fit an 06 tl will pay money!!!!

 

No freaking peeps in US can't do right now sowwie dude!

 

No freaking peeps in Canada can mill either.....

 

ill throw out a little cash someones way if they can get on this as i am sure other members want this as well.

 

I got in touch with FLBUSA and am waiting his replies, but the deal with this is that the machines they were milled on cost in excess of 30K

 

Appreciate You Being On Top Of It. Thanks Again

 

ok, I found an alternative that costs around 2K, but takes longer to make..... I'm going to search more to see what can be done..

 

Not really. I milled more than hundred, but 07 blank is too expensive now. Milled blank would be $150 and you need additional $50 to cut and program it.

 

going to contact a few people tomorrow and see what I can get done.... Might become a vendor soon

 

^wewt. let us know. i totally want that key
