Can Honda dealers code keys for our TSX?
I was going to get my key cut today at a local honda dealer because its the only one around. Can they code the TSX key? I called in and he told me its only $45 to cut the key from FLBUSA. He wasn't sure if he can do it and it'll be under my risk to attempt the coding/cut. Can it be done? Need an answer asap if possible, thanks!

I called my local Honda dealer and they said that they couldn't because the Acura Key Database and the Honda Key Database are two separate things and Honda dealerships do not have access to Acura Info. I think is was a cop out, but possibly true. My

To add a key with the HDS, you need these items:

^ One programmed ignition key (master or valet) for the vehicle
^ Vehicle's key code for cutting new ignition keys
^ Suitable code key cutter
^ HDS with 1.006.004 or later software
NOTE :Make sure the setup and time are correct before you use the HDS. Select the F12 key in the upper right corner to get the Set-up Details screen. Make sure Market: is set to USA. Select the time display in the lower right corner to get the Date/Time Properties pop-up window. Make sure the date and time are correct. For details, refer to the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) Setup Instructions listed under Tool Information in ISIS.
^ 1st Password (Get this five-character code from the iN VIN Status Inquiry display. This code is changed yearly.)

3. Insert a programmed ignition key into the ignition switch, and turn the switch to ON (II). Turn on the HDS.

You should call them up and ask if they have an HDS tablet with software version 1.006.004 or later. If they say yes, then call them a bunch of fkin idiots.
