Re: 07 TL key fob conversion (Flip key)

The RDX face plate will turn the TL key fob into a 2-button remote instead of the 3-button that is the TL fob. The third button, trunk release is not available on the RL. If you look at your RL there is a lock and unlock button.

Nope...it is just the face plate of the fob (that's why it is so cheap...it's just a piece of plastic, no guts inside).

Yup, works with all RLs that have the key remote

Okay...you really need to read your Owner's Manual. The immobilizer is a security feature that will only allow the RL to start if the correct key is programmed to the RL.

Here's Honda's explaination: "An Immobilizer Theft-Deterrent System is standard on the Ridgeline. The ignition key has a built-in transponder, which, when removed, immobilizes the engine fuel injection and ignition so the engine cannot be started. When the key is inserted, a radio signal from the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is sent to the transponder. If the code in the key and the code in the ECU agree, then the ECU allows the engine to be started."

Hope this answers your questions.
