$75 for the cut / program.. works great!

 

finally right? hotness

 

NIIIICE!!!! You'll find your self flipping it all the time! drives my wife crazy...lol.

 

yeah man that is addictive... when I am walkin up to the car I am flip and closing with my index the entire time... then the funny thing is when I sit close the door it seems to always be closed so I flip again...

one thing, it flips open in my pocket occasionally

 

Glad you got it done. Enjoy

 

 

whats the point? once youve seen it once, youve seen them all. whats the difference between the one the OP had done and the one that the other 300+ people on AZ probably had done?

 

hahaaha I think he wanted a slideshow of him hitting the buttons then stepping in the car

 

My cousin has a s2k for his bday I want to get him a Switchblade key. CAn anyone help me out

 

i hope you paid 75 bucks for more than 1 key to be cut

 

i paid $25 just for the blank key..now i'm looking for the place where i can cut it...hmmm anyone from Tampa?

 

Did you pick up that blank in Florida somewhere online? I'd love to have it done, but I'm nervous about Ebay.

 

cut + programming the immob. chip

 

got directly from the dealer, but looks like i'm going to have to return it. cuz its not milled and etc. and to find someone to do that is a headache. i just bought one from FLBusa to save all the hassle...

 

so you paid a total of 170 bucks for 1 key?

 

Correct.. I thought my friend was just taking the key to get cut yesterday but he had it programmed as well

Niello wanted $120 to program the chip so it's still cheaper this route..

 

thats nuts. i just changed the entire ignition switch, and got both keys cut(laser cut) for under 100 bucks. no need to re-program the immobilizer sicne i just swapped out the chips.

 

why didnt you just bump your other thread?

 

I don't want to change my locks or take apart the steering column as my car is still under warranty. Also, should I ever loose my key the dealer can cut one for me, I think they would have a hard time matching one purchased off the net(?)..

I'm happy with it.. I got what I wanted without having to take my car apart

 

it's really far away..

 

that makes no sense. you dont need to repost a thread everytime you do something different..

if the subject matter is the same then bump your old thread.....

 

how would the dealer have a had time making me a key when i have 3 others

 

Sorry, but this is one hell of a response.

 

I was being a smart ass
(and lazy) sorry


rbf351 - I thought you just purchased a used cut key off eBay and an ignition lock for it.. my point was should something happen like all of your keys are gone the dealer can lookup the vin and get a key made... with aftermarket keys that probably won't be possible.. and again, changing the ignition switch will most likely affect your warranty in a bad way

i'd rather not have a warranty item in the future be in question because I changed the ignition switch.. if you're out of warranty I guess it doesn't matter.

 

what i was was a complete ignition with a perfect key, and had 3 more oem keys made. so if i ever lose one i'll never have a problem

 

hey Rbf351,

where did you get all this done for under 100 bucks! I see that your in NY so im guessing you got a hookup or something like that

 

i know someone at an Acura dealer who cut the keys for free. the work i did myself which of course saves alot of money

 

will this work for 02-03 models? i remember reading it somewhere but i dont quite remember..

 

someone fill me in on what Id have to do to get the flip key pleeeeeaaaaase

got mine programmed at the local Acura store yesterday after work. took them about 30 minutes, maybe less.

while i was waiting, a salesman that i knew from church let me take a Type-S out for a spin. wow! first time i've piloted a Type-S and the differences were phenomenal! the first thing that caught me was the steering. immensely stiffer than my 04 setup. i'm not a fan of any type of dummy manual transmission, but the SS setup in the 5A Type-S was VERY responsive. now, i'm just waiting for them to get a WDP 6MT in, then i just might have to bite. the KBP is also another hot color, but the white won me over BIG TIME.

i purchased my switchblade key here on the forum, it was the first time that my local Acura store programmed this key to a pre-switchblade TL, they said it was a pretty cool idea. i told them about the forum here and to check it out sometime. i believe the grand total that i paid for the key and progamming was about $150. well worth it in my opinion. plus my mem 2 still works.

 

It's been a while since I received FLBUSA's mem1 & mem2 keys. Got them cut at a Locksmith (they were quite impressed with FLBUSA's craftmanship). They cut a demo key as a test (didn't want to mess with the artwork right off the bat). Admittedly they had some fun working around the FOB portion, but they (it was a team effort as everyone wanted to be involved) enjoyed the challenge.
Went to Erin Mills Acura (Mississauga, Ontario) and 1 hour... LIFE IS GOOD. Enjoying the TL just a little bit more than before.
I went to a couple of other dealers in the GTA that had done these before, but they said the immobilizer chip programming wouldn't work (different chip technologies).
Erin Mills just ensured that I had all the keys (and ownership paper) and was good to go.
THANKS FLBUSA!!!!!!

Grats sol_da_man and newin - I love my key.. i can't stop flipping my key in and out though hehe

 

Do you have a pic of your key? I think i can program the key by myself

 

AGREED 100%! the flip is ADDICTING!!!

 

Is there a warranty on the flip mechanism?!??!
I'm thinking 30,000 flips or 90days

 

Program the remote or the immobilzer chip?

here's the milled key..

 

one could only hope!

I think if for some reason I do break the flip part I can easily swap my cut key portion into the new housing and just re-program the fob (actually the fob part pops out too.. so just a new housing)
