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.

 

I'll just sell them locally then Ron, I thought it would be fine since I won't be doing more than 10...........my dad will be doing them not me. Sorry

 

good stuff lembowski count me in.

 

PM sent.

 

plz count me in if it will work, thanks.

 

Count me in as well. Hopefully someone here in the Bay Area will do it as well

 

Why not, count me in, too. I test drove the TL-S before going with my 06 TL and that key was one of the little things I didn't want to give up.

 

Im in the oc send me a pm later

 

count me in, pm sent. im in orange county and i can easily drive down to meet you for the key.

 

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

 

oh and from what i hear, having the dealer mate keys to your ecu IS NOT cheap....

 

Since you will not be able to Black Market them, what about ebay? I am extremely interested in one of these keys, and more than willing to pony up $80 for it.

 

I am assuming that we would have to buy the key and send it to you. Is that correct?

 

I'm in....Will do it personally if needed....

 

This sounds like a good plan. Since I'm not sure how many I will do, and it won't be that many. After I take care of a few personal local friends I might put them on ebay.

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.

 

Unless I'm missing something, that is definitely wrong; I bought one myself and others have too.

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.

 

I haven't spoke to him since Wednesday, so i guess I should call him to see if they are in the system. And what key grooves are you speaking of? I'm looking at a standard blank key infront of me, and I don't see any grooves.........

 

ok, looking at the wrong key. I do see what the problem might be. hrm.........gonna call to see if those grooves can be made also

 

a locksmith does not create those grooves......those come with a blank key

 

A locksmith is not creating the blade, a tool and die maker is. So when he is able to get back to me I will let you know

 

Hook the brotha up!!! I am also interested.

 

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.

 

you have an rsx jkautosport, right?

Has anyone else atleast programed the remote to the car yet?

 

How the hell are you guys even getting the keys? I have called 3 dealers and they all said the the key is unavailiable to order "backorder" they ALL told me when something is on backorder it usually takes a few weeks to come back to availiable. fill me in

 

oh ok gotcha

 

yup i have an rsx.... i assumed that since you guys use the same accord key that we use, it would work.... this is looking ugly!

didn't some guy a couple pages back say that he programmed it?

 

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

 

ugh, sorry to hear that man. Not sure about the reciever. I'm sure if there is a will theres a way. I'm sure it would involve taking your existing reciever out and trying to fit in in this shell. Who knows it might be easy.

 

Interesting. No, when I called my local dealer to see if they had them they said "sure". I asked if I needed to reserve one if I was coming the next day and he just laughed at me. Evidently, they had plenty available.

 

which dealership did you contact?

 

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!

daaaaymn, can't wait to get my key!

 

Darn, I want one

 

excellent!

 

I am extremely interested in one of these keys, and more than willing to buck up $80 for it.

just wanna be a part of the team coach!!! keep me informed!

 

Nice Job JK!

Thanks for being the guineau pig. Now I just have to get up the courage to do this myself.

 

Anyone know what is the part number for the key where I can order them on Acura Online

 

I just posted a DIY guide on CRSX...

http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=428964

It has all the part numbers you need :-)

 

Somebody with a dremmel and a lot of time could make a lot of money. From me.

 

Not only you, but everyone else that is to lazy to DIY. I bet someone will read this and will make this available on ebay and make a shit load of $$$...im almost sure of it.


I know it probably mentioned, but how much is the 07 TL switchblade remote/key?
