Will TL get new key next year too since Honda in Japan has equiped many new keys for their current models?

keys with built-in transmitters lin the Accord

So far, Honda is not making laser-key as MB... or SAAB?




04 Honda Accord LX EX

 

S2000.

 

I don't exactly know what you're saying, but I want a flipkey/integrated key too

 

keyless

 

cardkey

If u uses cardkey, this is the key in your ignition...

 

Sigh, the JDM gets all the toys. I also like the VW/Audi key-fobs. A tad bulky but it is entirely integrated with a cool 'switchblade' mechanism.

 

Now those are some classy looking keys ....

I'm betting we'll be able to "upgrade" in the future, but the dealer will charge a small fortune for the priviledge.

When I had an IS-300, the dealer told me that it would be $300 dollars to replace a lost key, which was integrated as shown above. Needless to say that key got treated well!

 

Honda Inspire Card Key - how it works...
(Translated using Babel Fish http://babelfish.altavista.com/babel...t%2Findex.html)

(look at all the other nice features they get on the Insight!)


Carry your Card Key


near your car


Touch the handle... and you are in


you can then start the car without the key.




I wonder if TL's can be retrofit.

 

That first pic. is tight *sigh* we will never get all the sweet toys they have in Japan over here America BLOWS!!!

 

I dont think they are going to come out with that any time soon

 

I think the Infinity FX35/45 already has a system like the inspire key card (along with Mercedes Benz).

 

A new Key for the TL may be in the works, by third parties!



I asked the guy to build one for our 04 TL's...


search on ebay for ACURA Key

 

What sort of response did you get? It's not a big deal, but it would have been nice for Acura to come up with this for the new TL.

 

i like having the key and key fob seperate. however, if the TL were to get a vw-style key, there'd be no complaining from me

 

I agree that it'd be nice to have the keyless entry functions on the key fob... I've removed a key/remote combo for another car from my keyring because it became too bulky to carry in my pocket.

Is anyone else surprised that the TL's key isn't the "wave" style (Honda's term) key where the pattern is not cut all the way through the key? My girlfriend's '03 Civic and mom's '04 Pilot both have this style of key and in those cars they tout the key's anti-theft benefits. I thought it'd be a no-brainer that they include it on all new models.

 

The inspired cardkey is coming out with the 05 TL.

 

How about the new key design WITH remote start on it? I just added a remote start to my 02 TL-S.. I absolutely love it... I would pay the extra $$ for Acura to add this as an option..
