Switchblade Key question
lost my key fob a whiles back, have been using my key anytime i need to unlock, lock, trunk (annoying) ,, i wound up ordering a key fob online but i can't get it programmed to my car for some reason, directions are really confusing on how to program,, anywho,, i've been thinking about the switchblade key fob all in one idea for a while...
anyone who wound up getting one,, do you or did you have any problems ever since you got it? i know the key would have to get cut obviously, is the programming difficult? thanks

I dont remember exactly because of how long ago it was. Im thinking somewhere around $40-$60 bucks.
*also if you get this done be sure to bring every key that goes to this car. When i got mine programmed I had to go home and get my extra keys b/c once they program 1 key, they have to do every key over again or they wont work anymore.

yes that is what i'm talkin about,, programming the remote function, my car won't let me use bluetooth or voice commands because there is no key fob paired to the car

im not sure why your car wont allow you to use bluetooth or voice commands. The only time the remote matters is for presets like seats, mirrors, and climate. If youre only using a key to open the door it should still say driver1 or driver2 based on which remote was used last, at least thats what mine does.

ever since i lost the key fob and had a new key made and programmed,, it says i can't use the bluetooth because it's not paired to a Fob.. which i think is weird.. i do have a key fob i ordered after i lost mine, pretty sure i got the right one,, it's for acura tl with mem 2,,, it's just the procedure, turn on ign, turn off, hold down buttons,, i tried following the directions they supplied but it doesn't work,, can someone help me program the Key Fob that i have! directions??
I've seen my Bluetooth not work because it was not paired to a phone, but a fob?? Never heard of that. However, this might help you get your fob paired up.
As per Ron A (Admin):
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER (KEYFOB)
Storing transmitter codes.
The codes of up to three transmitters can be stored into the keyless receiver unit memory. (If a fourth code is stored, the code which was first input will be erased.)
NOTE: It is important to maintain the time limits between the steps. Make sure the doors, the hood and the trunk lid are closed.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II)
2. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the keyless receiver unit behind the driver’s side of the dashboard.
3. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch ON (II).
5. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the keyless receiver unit behind the driver’s side of the dashboard.
6. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF.
7. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch ON (II).
8. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the keyless receiver unit behind the driver’s side of the dashboard.
9. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF.
10. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch ON (II).
11. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the keyless receiver unit behind the driver’s side of the dashboard.
12. Confirm you can hear the sound of the door lock actuators within 1 to 4 seconds, then push the transmitter lock or unlock button again, or the code will not be stored.
13. Within 10 seconds, aim the transmitter (up to two additional ones) whose codes you want to store in the keyless receiver, and press the transmitter lock or unlock buttons. Confirm that you can hear the sound of the door lock actuators after each transmitter code is stored.
14. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and remove the key.
15. Confirm proper operation with the transmitters.
NOTE: Once the programming mode is entered, the remote button must be pressed a second time. If the button is not pressed, or if the ignition switch is turned OFF, the programming for all remotes will be cancelled.

what is the FFC ID on the back of the remote, it needs to be the right one for it to work properly!
