Remoter Start Keyfob programming

Hi guys,

I have a 2012 TL with remote start and would like an extra key fob to start the car. I saw an ebay seller selling his old remote for 50 bucks. If I purchase that will I be able to program the remote. Does anyone know how I can program. I called the dealer and they wanted 200 bucks to program the remote. He also told me that I need a HDS tester to program the remote. Is this all true. Any ideas how I can program the remote my self with HDS.

Thanks,

Perhaps you'll be able to use the FOB with built in remote start from the 2014 MDX.

You could buy an HDS for less than <$150 on eBay right now...

Nice. No more carrying two remote FOB's, one for passive entry and one for remote start, in the pocket all the times.
