lembowski, you won't be able to sell these in the Black Market. The BM is for personal items, and these are commercial items.
You will need to make arrangements with Astroboy to become a vendor, and it would be good if you can do that soon or I will have to do something about this thread. If you do not want to become a vendor or if you need any help in this matter let me know.
If anyone else is planning to try to sell these or get them made, the same thing applies.

the only problem i see (if you are even able to mill the laser blank to spec) is that people still need to go to the dealer to have the immobilizer chip mated with their ecu. who knows if the chip that comes in the key will even work.... the rdx key had a little box inside.... my key had a small capsule.
if the dealer is unable to program the tl/rdx immobilizer chip to work with your ecu, you will have to hack one of your keys apart to take the chip out, and you will also have to hack the flip key apart to swap chips

Please don't pm me with requests, I spoke to my guy and you still CAN NOT order them through Acura.
On a side note, with what jkautosport said about the immobilizer chip, yes it could be pricey do get done at the dealership.............
When i did the Accord key mod awhile back I DID remove the immobilizer from my valet key as to not mess around with the dealer. I was told around $40 for them to make the connection. Sorry I wasn't thinking about that, because I was just planning on putting my immobilizer from my accord key in the new 2007 FOB. I removed the immobilizer from my valet key with a exacto knfe so it wasn't too hard. I just thought the hardest part of this new key would be the grinding the metal blade and making it fit (since not everyone has access to a metal grinder/shop) this was the only part I was going to take care of. After that all you would be left to do is mate following the steps posted everywhere.
To ease the MODS I will NOT be doing any business though PM's for this. I will ask RON once I have a few left over how I should go about getting rid of them.

I just dropped the blank off at a machinist and should have it back on Monday. I'm still doubtful it will work because of the key grooves and I'm not sure if a locksmith can put those on a blank. I'm not too concerned about the $$, but it's getting a little out of hand already.
If someone could confirm the hand brake/pedal gyrations to sync the ecu/chip, that would be awesome.

carpecervisi were you able to program the transmitter? i just got my tl transmitter today, and i've run into a potential problem.
the lock function works perfectly, however, unlock will not work at all
i bought the driver1 transmitter first, and noticed it didn't unlock, sooooo i went back to the dealer and the dude let me trade the driver1 transmitter for driver2. driver2 still does not unlock, but i notice that when programming the remote, the car recognises the trunk button, and unlocks the doors/trunk. once the remote is programmed, though, the trunk button doesn't do anything.

i just realized that you guys all have driver1 and driver2, even before 2007...... the tsx/rsx doesn't.... which means it will probably work fine for you, but not us
hmmmm what if one were to change out the keyless entry receiver..... hmmmmmmmmm

ok an update:
i found out via the tsx forum that the memory function can be turned off on these remotes! if you press and hold lock+unlock, it is disabled....
i tried this, and it works perfectly! this means that these transmitters are compatible with the tsx, rsx, tl, accord, etc.....even if they don't have memory seats!
