im ready to order my key lol looks nice

 

Just a quick question. Can you pop out the key from the housing in order to get it cut?

 

no!

 

Acutally you can, the remote (buttons are held on by 1 screw. After removing it the remote will pop up leaving you with the key, backing (mem 1/2) chrome button and the little cover around it. Then with a little brute force, pry up on the little cover around the chrome and it should slowly come up, its held on by 1 tab and double sided tape. Under that will be 3 screws with an ungodly amount of locktite. You can spend abut 3 minutes stripping them and then cursing, or just leave it all there without the remote.

The cutter should be able to fit the key and little backing into the machine, he must align them using the shoulders.

 

sweet. thought this day would never come. saturdays are usually good for me.

 

Does this include milling? I got a blank from ebay and was going to hit up the local locksmith but if the dealer can do it, that would be a bonus.

 

the key needs to be milled if its an 04-06. if its an o4-o6 key or you have an 07, then nevermind...

 

Yeah, I have an 05 TL and I missed your group buy by one week. I got an '07-'08 key from an Acura dealer on ebay and was going to take it to a locksmith to have it milled and cut. From there, take it to the dealer to have it programmed.

 

got the key in mail today! thanks
but i have some questions, email sent :P

 

Just a note to you guys :
DO NOT GET THE KEY CUT YET!!!

Also if you choose not to listen to me, make sure that the machine its being cut on TRACES the original key!!!!

 

any updates?

 

just waiting on pics from one last member to make sure it was the locksmith and not a defect from the milling process.

 

any update? i want to hear from all the member have been cut yet.

 

still waiting...

 

Any locksmiths in the atl area that can mill a blank? Nalley Acura in marietta ruined my key

 

PM me and I can see if it can be salvaged.

 

AJ, I just got my key cut and programed. I took it to Atlast Locksmith (501 W 167ST NY,NY).

The guy that cut and programed my key was Jose...Good Guy. He had to file down the key a little to make it fit but, overall he made it work. It took about 15 minutes to complete the job. Oh yea, he charged me $60...its a lot better than going to the dealer.

Jose was telling me that a couple of guys came in recently to get their keys done. I wonder if any of those guys are from this forum.

Anyway... thanks again AJ for the great work

 

Now that it's good to go, when do you guys wanna meet?

 

csmeance: im located in Fl as well but in ft.lauderdale do u know of any location that will be able to cut/program for me cause i would like to get one of these asap and u are a few hrs from me?

 

I have a local locksmith in ormond beach. Its sounds like a pretty long drive to have your keys cut here. I suggest you take a look at the cutters on the list, and as well call up some local locksmiths from your phonebook.

 

csmeance, any updates on the issue?

 

It's good to go. When do you guys want to go get it cut and programmed?

 

this friday morning @ weir canyon or tustin acura???

but i'd like to hear csmeance's confirmation about the keys though

 

Would it be possible for saturday morning? Weekends usually are better for me because I work during the week.

 

confirmation I edited the thread to say it was ok to get em cut...

 

thread @ where
I check your website daily but it still says DO NOT GET YOUR KEYS CUT!!!!

Anyways, so the little twisting in shape is ok? I tried to put in my glove box lock, but it cant go in all the way, it works on the door, the ignition, the trunk lock, and the rear seat lock.

edit: nvm I just see the thread. I dont check TL sections often. my bad.

 

hey AJ do you know any locksmith comapany around in Northern Virginia. Today i went to the dealer to get my key cut and program but the gentlement there said they can't do it. Is anyone in here from NOVA to get your key cut and program done and how it works? please let me know thanks
