Adding a 3rd Key??? Possible???

there are currently 3 drivers for the car and I'm stuck using the Valet key... if i buy another switchblade key, does anyone know if i can get the keyless entry to work on all 3 sets??? im tired of having to manually lock/unlock the doors, and im also afraid of starting to scratch up the keyhole area...

Thanks guys...

At least on the 06s, I seem to recall that there is a way to 'unlink' the fob from the seat memory. I think that is in the owner's manual somewhere.
So you could buy a 3rd key and unlink it from the seat. Or, maybe just leave it linked to one of the positions if 2 of you like the seat the same way.

You can link a maximum of 3 keys to the transmitter, but since there is no #3 key, you will have to use a #1 or a #2 and use whatever settings are already on the MID for the key you choose.

I recently purchased a switchblade key, When I programmed it, my driver 2 fob stopped working. Any idea as to why this happened?

^^^ You have to program ALL keys at same time.

yes, you will have to reprogram all your keys again.

For example on what I had done today at dealer where my dealer reprogram and cut my New 07 Switchblade Key Memory One, then 05 Memory 1 key, and last 05 Memory 2 Key. It takes less then 5 minutes at dealer.

The key should have no affect on programming off the fob remotes. When I received my 4th key, an uncut switchblade Mem 1 from FLBusa, the first thing I did before taking it to a locksmith for cutting and immobilizer chip programming was to make sure it would fit in all the locks. Next, program the switchblade remote so the car recognizes it and will open the doors, windows, trunk and panic. I did that step by using one of my original keys in the ignition while cycling the ignition on and off. Lastly, you link the remote to the seat and driver memory system. Remember remote programming and key programming are two separate things. Once all that is verified you're off to a locksmith or a Honda/Acura service department for the key cutting and immobilizer chip programming!
