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

 

^
Unless there are locksmiths around you who do it, the only thing I can suggest is going to the stealership to get it programmed.

 

i've had my switchblade key for almost a year now with no problems. After the dealer cut it for me, programming takes 30 sec's at the most. very simple.

 

i thought u were talking about programming the remote function, as far as programming for the key to work I had the dealer do it when the key was cut, took them about 30 mins

 

How much did it end up costing you

 

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

and how much would the dealership charge me to program the key itself? when i had a spare key made by tripple A,, he made the key, had his own chip, programmed, and charged me 200 bucks,, i was like holy shit why so much?? it's just what they charged he told me...

 

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.

 

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.

I'll go look at my reciepts and see exactly how much i paid, im pretty sure it wasnt $200

 

just looked at reciept from dealer. it was actually $89.95 to program the key.

 

i just called acura of riverside and he said that it can not be done on an 04 TL? can any one explain?

 

it's called ... they are being lazy, it must be annoying for them because it's not adding anything to there comission/pay checks.... it can be done.

 

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.

 

this is like the directions i got with it,, i guess it's all in the timing, i'll just keep trying till it works... i really don't want to pay the dealership to do this,, any locals near toms river that could help? lol

 

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

 

FCC ID: E4EG8D-444H-A
CANADA:8501021819
:G8D-444H-A

MEMORY 2


that is eveything that is written on the back of the key fob.

do i have the right one?

 

Can't even program your own key fob with the directions supplied in your own thread....

 

i haven't tried yet douche, oh and look,, a moderator is trying to help me out... how bout you go question him for trying to help me and see how long your account stays active. so lame, and as for your grandmother programming better than me,, yea ok,, lets see her do 15 steps in perfect timing, i think not.

 

can anyone confirm i have the right key fob? i listed the FCC ID up a couple posts. thanks

 

Hey Liqiudflex81 Im looking at my fob and the Fcc id is OUCG8D-387H-A MEMORY 1.Also I have a switchblade key and the FCC id is OUOG8D-439H-A.

 

hmm.. is your car an 07-08 model?

 

I have a 2006 original fob and key and also a switchblade.

 

i got those same directions from Mr.Heeltoe and they workd fine for me

 

liquidflex81 my car is a 04 with a switchblade key and here's what it says on the back of mine:

FCC ID: OUOG8D-439H-A
IC :850G-G8D439HA

considering mack025's fcc id looks similar to mine im wondering if you have the right switchlade

 

Hey Ace32TL is that fcc id number off the switchblade,If it is that is the correct one.

 

yea, fcc id is from my switchblade key

 

i don't have the switchblade key, i just want to know if the OEM looking Key fob for an 04 is the right one i have. you know the original one that came with your 04 it's grey and old looking somewhat

does anyone have their original key fob from an 04-06 TL than can post there FCC ID number please thanks... i bought the memory 2 one,, because in my car it says on the door,, Memory 1 and Memory 2 so tha's what i ordered but can't get it to work why are the simplest things the hardest, and the hardest things easiest to do sometimes?

 

I have the original key and fob for the 04-06.The Fcc id OUCG8D-387H-A.I think the fob you have is incorrect.

 

damn i have the wrong one, the one i bought is for an 02-03 TL, the ebay ad said it was for an 04 , can't return it either, it's been too long, guess i'll be putting this on the black market, it's not so bad, now i can just buy the switchblade key
