Well, I just ordered my switchblade fob from FLBUSA. Hope to recieve it sometime next week. $30 to have it cut.... $55 to sync chip to car. Good deal? Who all has great experience purchasing from FLBUSA and having the fob work properly?

 

let me know it works or not...

 

yeh me too. how much you pay for the switchblade key?

 

yea what did u pay?

 

I paid $57 at Lynnwood Acura in Washington for the cut and program. I paid whatever the cost of the key was at FLBUSA. Something like $110-$120 shipped. The dealer said it was a very nice mill job that FLBUSA did.

 

I thought FLBUSA stopped making and selling them?

 

I paid $115 for the actual FOB. I just ordered it, so I have not received it yet. I'll keep you all posted on how everything goes. I've done some shopping around....found an acura dealership who will cut the key for $29, and program the chip for $55. I may see if I can find a good locksmith who may do it for like $40 total!

 

nice. keep us posted!

 

Just ordered mine as well.... 115 via Paypal.

Pretty straight forward website too.

 

He (Pete) is no longer a vendor on AZ.

 

man, dealer charge you for cut and program? damn, you can do the program yourself...

 

He means the Immobilizer,

 

Just Ordered mine. I think he has some kind of a sale, i got $10 off.

 

are these keys milled?

 

Yah I had the switchblade for mine which was a 06TL, and it worked great! I kind of miss it tho, after I traded my car in.

 

I got the first set of switchblades from FLBUSA and I love them. So far the only problem I have had is with the ink rubbing off the buttons for locking and unlocked, but that is expected with so much use.

 

I paid $40 at dealer for cut and program (I think only for cut, really). Works in all locks and trunk.

 

Yeah, he accurately reduces the much bigger 07 key blank into the 04-06 size.

 

i just got mine yesterday and got it cut an program it today. paid $115 for the key and I got the key cut for free and program it myself.

nice sn, lol.

 

lol, I just noticed that.

 

how do you program yourself?

 

so you guys are willing to pay like 200 bucks for a key to your car....thats crazy....

 

yeah, i don't think milling should cost an extra 60 bucks, and programming & cutting shouldn't cost another frickin 57. I've spoken with someone that's done a swap of both the metal key portion and the chip, which is the only other thing you need, it's easy to program a remote to your car by yourself!

 

I guess true car enthusiasts are willing to do whatever and pay whatever to get what they WANT! So yea...I'm willing to pay $200! Anyone agree with me?

 

does the switchblade can scroll down the windows and memory seat?

 

Yep if programmed right.

 

how do you go about programming it right? i lost my programming instructions

 

switchblade from flbusa works great except that i cannot get it to do the thing where the seat changes position to match #1 or #2 keyed fob.

 

They should not charge you to cut it, just the programming.

i work at honda so i just used their hds system thing and program it took like a few min.

 

Checked with my Acura dealer and they will cut for free and charge $90 to program. Does that sound right. Can I program it myself or is that sommething they have to do to get it working like for factory remotes?

 

gotta save up $$ for this.....nice perk

 

Just a word of caution to everyone who is going to have their dealer cut the key. My dealer uses a stamp method ( for lack of a better term ) which cuts or "punches out" the key all in one shot. The other method would be actually grinding the key using another of your keys as a guide.
My dealer actually recommended that I go elsewhere for the cut. They said their machine doesn't always get it right on the first shot, and they can't simply grab another from the shelf if they mess mine up.
I took their advice and got it cut at a local locksmith, using the grinding method.

 

I have 07-TL & already have 2 key fobs (#1 & #2). I asked two dealers, one told me "NO"...not possible & one told me "YES" of course it's possible. I am not going to spend $2-300 to gamble...I want a sure thing.

My question to them was, can I have two key #1s or two key #2s ?

 

 

Acura of Baton Rouge said "definitely" and apparently I'm like the 8th person in the past few months to get this done...

 

ha, i did this a couple months ago at same dealership. I like Vikki the best over there.
