yes, you can order a remote and program it. i can't see the ebay pic b/c it's blocked at work but as long as you get the right remote, you should be fine

 

Thanks This is what is says: Does it matter that it is Memory 2, which I am assuming is the Second Remote, Or do You have the Get the 1st one.

Would this work

 

Hey Fris, I bought one off ebay a while ago, programmed flawlessly. Quite annoying but you have to make sure its for your exact car (not teh mdx or what not)

Hope it helps. Ebays cheaper = ]

 

The seller is kind of stupid; that fob is 04 - 06; 07-08 have switchblade keys.. You can get a switchblade key and have it milled then program it w/ your car.. that might be the route to go - why buy a std. remote then realize you want the cooler one?!




^^^ 07-08 Key w/ remote milled to work on 04-06 TLs ^^^

 

So I can order the 07 Remote for the TL (Blade Switch Thingy) and program it to work with my 04 TL?

 

It has to be milled down to work for an 04-06

07-08 keys are laser cut now; here a blank laser cut key:



Compare it to the milled key image posted above - you'll see why it won't work w/o the milling. If you buy one milled you can just have it cut to match your existing key; note that the immobilizer chip needs to be programmed at an Acura dealer, bring all of the keys that you want to work (otherwise they will be erased when they program the new key).
