I actually called the parts department to see how much they would charge and I got the "since you're a loyal customer" speech...wahla FREE!! Some of the reasons why I think he is willing to do it for free are: I bought the RL from that dealership and most of my OEM (large priced ones) accessories were purchased from them. It does pay to patronize your local dealer when things like this arise. From my experience they are more likely to work with you when you need a favor. Just my 2¢

any local locksmith has the capability to cut and program these keys?

Any chance Hondatech can help us out here? Is programming the remote something we can do with some simple directions? Anyone have any thoughts?

programming is very simple, just follow these steps

Perform each of the following three steps in order, then repeat all three steps two more times, for a total of three times each:


1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, marked II.
2. Press the LOCK button.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position, marked I.


Do this three times!


Next, turn the ignition switch to the ON position (II) for a fourth time.


Press the LOCK button again. The door locks should now make a cycling sound, indicating that the system has entered Programming Mode.


Press the LOCK button one more time to program this remote. If you have other remotes to program, press the LOCK button on each one in turn. The door locks should make the cycling sound after you press LOCK on each remote. You may program up to three remotes, and they must all be programmed within ten seconds of each other.


Turn the ignition off and remove the key. The remotes are now programmed and may be tested.


If you've got a trunk/hatch release, hold the button for this function for a few seconds. Remember this works for any Honda or Acura guys.

it depends if they have the programming unit to program keys, most locksmiths are old fashion and they dont want to invest on the computer to do so. 8 out of 10 dont even bother anymore.

All the locksmith and dealers I've called so far would charge me $60 ~ $250 to cut and program the immobilizer. Any recommendation will be highly appreciated.

Thanks Houston......This is GREAT!!! I will let you guys know how it goes when the fob arrives.

I called my local Acura dealer...they wanted $25 to cut the key.....but that might be if I had bought the fob and key there. As was posted earlier....I am banking on one of the salesman I used in the past putting in a favor for me (hope to get it done for free)
