I recently picked up an 09 TL w/ Tech. It came with both keys but only one remote. So basically the only useful function of the second key is the ability to unlock the doors. To my knowledge I cannot drive the car using just the key without the remote. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So I picked up a used remote and I would like to program it so we actually have two sets of keys (and remotes) that will start the car. I have searched for instructions on the forum and on google with no success. Is there a way for me to program a replacement remote myself? Or do I cough up $120 and have the dealer program it for me? That was the price I was quoted to have a remote programmed (excluding the cost of the remote).

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

 

you cant do it yourself. it has to be brought to dealer.

they use a honda sync tool..

go to another dealer to see if they can do it for you for free.

are you still under warranty?

 

I was afraid of that. I'm still under the basic warranty period. I can understand that only the dealer would have this ability to program remotes. Actually that's good to know that anyone couldn't try to program a remote to my car and drive off. But $120 seems very unreasonable for some tech to take 15 minutes to program a remote.

 

i did mines and it was free lol.. try another dealer, do not call in, just go straight in and ask them can you help me reprogram it..

or go to the place where you bought it from..

 

I didn't buy it from the dealer so I'm not sure how much they'd be willing to help me out. I guess I could try to stop by on a slow day and see what they would do. Thanks for the tips!

 

Well try it out bro! You will never know if you don't try. Figure it out!
