The Acura transponder key, and how we set one up.
Acura owners who skipped the optional remote, or whose remote died years ago, still need the key that actually starts the car. This listing is the plain chipped ignition key used across a long stretch of Acura production, from the Integra and the first TL and CL through to the late-2000s RSX and TSX, where those models used a separate fob rather than a remote head. Two quick checks tell you whether this is your key. The blade is fixed, with cuts along the edges, and the head has no buttons. If yours has lock and unlock buttons built into the head, you want a remote head key instead. The blade gets cut on our code machine, which means we can make it from the lock code or from your existing key, even a badly worn one. The chip then has to be registered to the car. That registration happens through the diagnostic port with the vehicle present, and we will ask to see the ownership and your photo ID before we start. One practical tip: Acuras of this age often have a separate keyless entry fob on the ring. If that fob still works, it does not need to be touched when we add a key. Ask us to confirm for your trim/year and we will tell you which blank fits.
How to order. Call with the SKU. We confirm the price, the stock and the fit, then cut, program or fit it. Items in stock are usually ready the same day.

How it works, and what to know.
Before you call
- One listing covers 14 model years, 1996 to 2009, so we confirm your exact year and trim before cutting.
- Canada made engine immobilisers mandatory on new cars from September 2007, so every year from then on in this range has a chip in the key.

Can you program this key to my car?
If the FCC ID or part number matches your key, yes. We program it at the counter or at your car.

For programming, yes. The key is paired to the car itself.
My key looks the same but the FCC ID differs. Will it work?
No, it will not program. Match the FCC ID, not the look.

Where the car allows it, yes. We remove the lost key from the car's memory when we program the new one.
What ID do you need?
Photo ID, and the registration or insurance in your name.
