Keys?

I just bought a 2012 TL -

How many keys does Acura give out when the car is bought new? I am getting two remote keys but (upgrading from) old 2004 Honda i got 2 remote and 1 valet.

Should i also get a valet key?

Welcome to Azine!

2-since the valet is the remote after you take the key out of it.

If you have non tech then you will get 3 keys total. For tech pack 2 key fobs, each of them can become valet fobs.

OP my first response is based you have a tech or adv pack.

Check your Acura dealer's website, they may have a free coupon for a check engine light diagnostics. All the Acura dealers around me have it.

I would expect that a 2012 would still be under full warranty. (?)
You should not have to pay for anything. Do your best to get this resolved and documented as some of these check engine conditions can be relatively complex and costly. (It can also be minor, but you don't know for sure and you have to take their word for it.)
