Accord Remote Key On 05 TL
I did it!! 
I got the parts to do the key mod on the TL. If any one is interested I can do the write up on how to do it and the parts needed to do it. The DIY on the key is a little complicated and requires that you grind down the new key and do a little cutting on the Accord key.
The only thing that I found that didn't work with the new key, was the "driver 1" and "driver 2" programming. So you are not able to do the auto reset on the seats, and you have to deal with the progressive door locks.
On another note, I recently got the Injen CAI, got it installed and modded it to be like the AEM one with the IAT sensor on the CAI. I am going to get it on the dyno some time in the next week, I will post if the mod had any effect on the performance. From the way the factory IAT sensor is made and where it is located, I feel that there will be a little gain from doing this.

does the seat still move to the driver 1 settings? or does the car just leave things where they are left? i understand that driver 2 won't work...but if ur driving and u change the seats.....and then u get out of hte car...and then unlock the car to come back...will it go back to the driver 1 setting?

The car does not retain the memory seat options from the remotes. But they will remain in the postion they where in, and you will need to reprogram the Radio and XM to the new key.

As for the seats, hers would still be fine. You would have to hit the Memo 1 button on the door when you get in. My wife doesn't drive it, so I don't have to worry about it. It is much nicer to be able to carry just the key rather then the remote and key. Just me I guess.

The radio settings will remain, but if they move your seat you will have to push the memo 1 button on the door to set it back, it won't do it from the remote.

what exactly is the reason we can't use the driver 1 and driver 2 settings....is it something that is in the keyfob? like a chip? that transmits a signal (driver 1 signal or driver 2 signal) and thats what initiates the settings?

Although it is a cool feature to have. It is one that I hardly use. With that being said, it really doesn't take much effort to just hit the memory buttons themselves.

Now if I was not the only one driving my car, then I may be hesitant on doing this mod. Not because I would find it annoying to have to hit the button, but because if it was my Wife/SO/Family member, I would be afraid that they would think it is not working and reprogram everything.

i have done this mod and the actual chip frequency is what will not keep the driver seat settings.
if you get in the car with the new key and try to change the settings it says that it cannot communicate with the system or something like that so you just have to manually move your seats mirrors
but i love this mod...no need to carry the key and the fob now......all in one now...acura should have just made it like this...or make it like the RL
has anyone tried the RL key mod??
i think that would be sweettttt

^^^ its basically a valet key....you depress a button and the key will slide out...kinda poorly made IMO...not in the sense that it dosn't work right...but it can be easily lost.
