Programming a new key!
Is there any way to program a new OEM key yourself. My Acura dealer wants $50 for the key and 95$ to program it. Sounds like a screw job to me. Do I have any alternatives?

Do a search. I believe someone posted the instructions for reprogramming the key.

The only way to do it according to the tech I talked to when I needed an extra key for my remote start is that you need a special hand held computer that I believe hooks directly into the diagnostics port on your car and then insert the key into the comp. And this comp is only available to Acura dealers. Granted they would say that anyways so that they get the money for the job, but they never charged me for the key or the programming. (May have had something to do with the fact that they accidently scratched my trunk when installing the deck lid spoiler.)

Street Keys Ebay Link
If you go there, you can get keys for the TL. I got 1 key for like $39 bucks and you can get 2 keys cut and programed for $60 dollars after you buy the keys. That's what I just did.

I'm excitied..I mean...$150 dollars to buy 1 key and get it cut/programed is a joke....

I guess you have to make money somewhere....GM makes it on replacement parts...Acura makes it on keys..

that $150 stops alot of theives from stealing your ride though. without the immobilizer, there would be alot less acura on the road. just look @ integra theft in the past 10years, compare it to TL theft. not even close.
