did you buy the 07TL key or 09TSX? coz i am using it without remote function~ i hope by installing another alarm system to suit the frequency

PS the au honda remote frequency is 4xxMHz when the acura one is 3XXMHz,

Hi there. The switchblade key looks great!
Where did you get it from?
Will it work with a MY06 Euro Luxury?
Thanks

$150 just for a key that acts like a switchblade.

really its just 150 for a button and a spring.

You can actually get it cut for cheaper if that makes a difference, I remember reading the other thread of the non-oem flip key that you can get cuts for aruond $40.

These type of key would last long for me... I will keep springing it on and off (sub-consciously) when bored and the spring going to break or pop very fast.

this is the tsx key

this not just a key you also get panic button and also lot better in quality than the the standard key or the switchblade mod that u can buy form sydney seller

where to buy
http://stores.ebay.com/ACURA-OF-PEORIA_Acura_TSX_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ6021258QQf tidZ2QQtZkm



the only thing you should worry about is the FCC and IC numbers if it matches its then no problem sometimes your lock would work but wont start the car then you have to take out the immobilizer bit form your old key and put it into Ur new key

The FCC ID for this key is MLBHL1K-1T. The IC number is 2500A-HL1K1T.

main thing key less entry is different thing so there are two parts
1.door locks and key less entry
2.immobilizer bit for the car

but as pesad42 said, he is using it right now, right? so the id and ic number donesn't matter anymore.

However, I got a story to tell.

I bought a 07TL switchblade key from ebay (look exactly the same as pesad42's) I got it cut and programmed the immobilize chip by dealer, however the frequency of the key is NOT same as our AccordEuro, so the remote function CANNOT be use.

I think the door locks and keyless entry are different part as well.
coz i could unlock and lock the door, but keyless entry

i really don't like the left (non-oem) flip key, the blade is perpendicular to the handle instead of parallel, which makes it extremely weird when you turn to ignite the engine.

how to remove the chip
http://tsx.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35916

how to program the key (key less entry) does not include the immobiliser progaming

Transmitter Programming

Storing transmitter codes:
The codes of up to three transmitters can be stored into the keyless receiver unit memory. (If a fourth code is stored, the code which was input first will be erased.)

NOTE: It is important to maintain the time limits between the steps. Make sure the doors, the hood and the tailgate are closed.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Within 1 to 4 sec, press the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the keyless receiver in the power window master switch. (located by the driver’s window switches)
3. Within 1 to 4 sec, turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Within 1 to 4 sec, turn the ignition switch ON (II).
5. Within 1 to 4 sec, press the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the keyless receiver in the power window master switch. (located by the driver’s window switches)
6. Within 1 to 4 sec, turn the ignition switch OFF.
7. Within 1 to 4 sec, turn the ignition switch ON (II).
8. Within 1 to 4 sec, press the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the keyless receiver in the power window master switch. (located by the driver’s window switches)
9. Within 1 to 4 sec, turn the ignition switch OFF.
10. Within 1 to 4 sec, turn the ignition switch ON (II).
11. Within 1 to 4 sec, press the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the keyless receiver in the power window master switch. (located by the driver’s window switches)
12. Confirm you can hear the sound of the door lock actuators within 1 to 4 sec, then push transmitter lock or unlock button again, or the code will not be stored.
13. Within 10 sec, aim the transmitters (up to two additional ones) whose codes you want to store in the keyless receiver, and press the transmitter lock or unlock buttons.
Confirm that you can hear the sound of the door lock actuators after each transmitter code is stored.
14. Turn the ignition switch off, and remove the key.
15. Confirm proper operation with the transmitters.

since you have the key, is there any flaws, things you have noticed which you might find different from standard honda keys? (eg. sometimes the car doesn't unlock etc...)

Sydney south..the lock smith is on Bay Street Brighton towards the rockdale end. he does programming as well. if you get it done through him it will probably cost no more than $50 (cutting and programming). it took him 15 minutes to cut the key so no need to wait a day or a week like some others have experienced.

door lock programming can be done by anybody but for the immobilizer you have to go to a dealer who has the HDS (Honda diagnostic system) it is sort of a obd 2 but with more advance features

I'm getting a bit confused now. Just to be clear, can you please confirm:
1. Does this work with CL9?
2. Does the remote door opening & closing still work on CL9?
3. Does the remote boot opening still work on CL9?
4. Does the immobiliser still work on CL9?
5. Does the panic button on the new switch-blade key work on CL9?
6. Does it matter if you buy mem1 or mem2 version of the key (as long as FCC and IC numbers match with what you said)?

Can you also please confirm the process:
a. You get the switch-blade blank key.
b. You get the key cut at locksmith.
c. You program the remote (yourself or dealer).
d. You program the immobiliser (dealer).
e. You do not need to take the chip etc from your existing key to make this new one work.

Where can we check the FCC and IC ID? there's nothing at the back of my key. I called the dealer but the person who answered didn't even know what FCC/ic id all about, he was just saying about a range of frequency etc (I didn't note down) which by the way making me even more confused :(

Spare key = memory 2

if the frequency and the id is the same as the pic above, it should work on our "CL9" as well~

yea, that's correct, the immobilize chip is same as our cl9's, however, the frequency is different from our cl9, accordeuro

the pic below is the TL key

last time i check, the TSX key is not made by OMRON JAPAN, so i think it may not work on our accord euro, however, someone said it could use on the CU2, so it may work on ours, is there any CU2 owner could post up their key's chip?

I think that's what people normally do - take a switchblade template, take the chip etc out of their AU key and put it in the switchblade template. This works with non-OEM ones, I'm not sure about Honda OEM switchblade.

I was really interested in getting in on this, but I don't want to "break" my existing key to get a switchblade.

Has anyone checked if Honda Japan sells switchblades over there? Would that maybe match the frequencies etc of our AU car?

in order to make it work, i have an idea. For example my TL switchblade key, the remote keyless entry doesn't work because of the frequency is different, so maybe I could install an alarm system which using the same frequency(3xxMhz, NOT 4XXMhz) as the TL key, so i could use the buttons on the key. is it possible? :confused:

For those of you who want to use the 09 Acura TSX switchblade key for the CL9 Euro, it is unlikely that it will work because the frequency of the Acura key is different. I found the frequency of the Acura key by doing a web search of the FCC ID. The frequency is in the 3xx MHz range whereas the frequency of the CL9 key is in the 4xx MHz range. Sorry to break the bad news but i hope this will save you guys from wasting your money on something thats not going to work. It's a shame that it works for the CU2 but not CL9 :(

as in using my honda key to start the car but using the acura key when programming?

Finally I've been waiting for this!!!! so how about the Freq?? is it in the 433.9Mhz like cl9??

Anyway I copy this step from some website for Acura TL switchblade key, please note I don't know if this works on euro so here goes:

This step will program the lock, unlock, and panic buttons to work with your Element. It has nothing to do with the immobilizer chip! Programming the buttons to work with your Element can easily be done by you. The dealer does NOT have to perform this step for you (unless you feel like wasting your money).

Programming the remote:

Have all remotes for the vehicle on hand.

Make sure all the doors and rear hatch/trunk are closed during programming.

You only need to use one remote to get into program mode but all remotes must be programmed during the same session.

Each step must be completed within 5 seconds.

1. Sit in the car with all doors/trunk tightly closed.

2. Turn the key to the ON position, marked by “II” on the ignition bezel so the dash lights come on, then within 5 seconds press the “Lock” button on the remote for 1 second or so and release the button.

3. Turn the key to the OFF position, marked by “I” on the ignition bezel - dash lights go off.

4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 three more times (A total of 4 times) - each step must be done within 5 seconds of the previous step.

5. Upon the 4th turning of the key to “ON”, press the lock button on one remote, the locks will make a cycling sound (clunk), locks will NOT lock or unlock at this point, they will just make a noise. The system is now in programming mode. Do not turn key off.

6. Within 5 seconds of entering programming mode and within 5 seconds of each other, press the lock button ON EACH remote you are programming, for a second or so and release. This step needs to be completed within 10 seconds. Each time a remote button is pushed, the locks should cycle. Up to 3 remotes can be programmed.

7. Turn ignition completely off and remove the key. Step out of car and close door.

8. Don’t overlook this step! On the new switchblade key, hold down the lock and unlock buttons at the same time for a few seconds. This removes the memory feature.

9. The remotes should be programmed and should work.



So there you have it!!! let us know if it works k!

It looks like these both operate in the 313.85Mhz range. I guess I should check the battery of the Acura remote next. The LED lights up, but it is possible the power is not strong enough to actually produce a strong enough or correct signal.

hey mate, this key cannot be programmed to unlock and lock the car because the frequency is different, i thought i mentioned before already.... however you could program its immobilize chip in order for you to use it to start the engine and unlock the car from driver's door...

I've just programmed the transmitted so far, still have to get it cut and find a place to program the immobiliser.

They key feels great though, solid (unlike the 3rd party eBay one i got for my CL9) and has a decent weight to it. Acura badging looks great too, only if its different, but i wouldn't mind changing the Honda badges to Acura :cool:.

Does anyone know of a good place in East or SE Melb that can cut and/or program an immobiliser for the CU2?

Ahh, that's a bummer :(. Weird, if you're using the immobiliser from your current chip i don't see why that wouldn't be able to start the car. You wouldn't need to program anything apart from the unlocking/locking module, correct? If that is the same frequency it might work.

Wow, that's weird! I'm guessing they both use the same frequency as well, as their FCC ID and IC are the same. Then it would seem that there's no difference between the US Accord and our CL9, similar as to how the CU2 Euro is the same as the CU2 TSX.

When you inserted your current immobiliser chip into the US Accord key, what else did you have to program? Only the lock/unlock module, yeah?

the Fcc of their original honda key is OUCG8D-380H-A, so that's why I am thinking if i replace our euro frequency receiver with US accord one which is the Fcc is OUCG8D-380H-B, after that, TL key should be working as well, May be i was wrony

Printon, are you definitively sure you purchased the correct receiver?

TL key ( FCC: OUCG8D-439H-A IC: 850G-G8D439HA)

the frequency receiver ( FCC ID: OUCG8D-380H-B IC: 850G-G8D380HB)

( FCC ID: OUCG8D-439H-A IC: 850G-G8D439HA ) <--- is there such a receiver?

you must have purchased the wrong receiver with feq 380

US acura keys are feq 439 - we need a feq 439 receiver that fits!!!

out curiosity...how many keys can you programme for the cu2?

had mine done today and it works for the acura tsx flip key.

however, noticed that the original key cannot be used to unlock / lock the car anymore.

is this correct? am I missing something or can only 2 keys be programmed for the cu2?

For anyone interested I got the switchblade key working for a CL9, cost me $50 for the key, $65 for programming/coding from honda, and small fee to cut from key cutter. Very happy with it, if anyone is interested I can try dig up the ebay seller I got it from.

Hey I CU2, great name lolz. I got the whole flip key that worked with my CL9 from this seller on eBay.

Just make sure that you tell him what letter you have on your original key so that he can give you the right immobiliser chip for australia (mine has a v on the key).
You can get the key cut for less than $50 and programmed from honda for $55 i think. Honda did it for me free of charge because they never seen a flip key work before so in exchange they wanted me to give the details of the seller I had bought it from haha. Hope this helps mate

Thanks for that Mike, what's the quality of the keys like? They seem to be sideways compared to the normal flat Honda Key.

Lucky with the free programming :).

The one I have looks like the real thing, quality is ok i guess. The buttons on the remote don't seem to respond sometimes so I have to press it hard but i expected that from a replica remote. Compared to Honda's genuine remote which isn't flip and cost ~$360!

the memory things is just for the seat position 1 and 2.

Got the key yesterday, got it cut and programmed today for $35!

I called around different Honda dealerships, they wanted around $80 to program the key but I spoke to one dealerships service manager and he said that it takes like 10 seconds to program a key and he wasn't going to charge me for it as long as I found someone to cut the key! Score!

Different locksmiths offered to cut the key for free as well seeing as they had never cut a Honda key before but they did warn me there was a chance they'd stuff up so I declined there offer. I went over to a specialist locksmith and he practiced cutting the Honda key onto one of his blanks and made sure that the practice blank worked first before he cut my switchblade. He offered to sell me the spare blank he cut for $35 so I just accepted.

I am looking to get a flip key. can someone tell me the best place to get one from? I looked at my OEM key last night and it had the FCC ID: MLBHLIK-1T & IC # : 2500A-HLIK1T.
I see Acura key for around $80US but need the key blade replaced.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACURA-KEYLESS-ENTRY-REMOTE-KEYFOB-MLBHLIK-1T-FLIP-KEY-1-/310320338913

Can I get the key blade replaced over here or should I just buy a new key from the start???

Thanks

I bought my keys from the same seller and it was heaps easy to program the remote with the instructions provided. Just need to get the key milled and the immobiliser programmed by honda. Looks and feels like the real thing :D

I see you got the 4 button version. I asked him for the 3 button version (lock/Unlock/Trunk) He told me that he had a 3 button version for $55 delivered.

Did you get it cut at the Honda dealer? I was going to go to my local Locksmith first and just have my Honda dealer do the immobiliser programmed for me.
Ho long did yours take to be delivered?

MickEuro
13-07-2011, 12:23 PM
It took about 10 business days to be delivered. It doesn't really matter which version you get because the red panic button doesn't work for our cars anyway and i got mine for $45...plus getting the key cut for $55 all up cost me $100. I got my key cut at a good locksmith so no risk of stuffing up. If your lucky Honda might program it for you for free!!

I just tested my genuine Acura TSX with my Euro and the red panic button works fine. The alarm went off, headlights and indicators flashed etc, wouldn't stop until I pressed unlock. Though, this may be different for the CL9 because it runs on a different frequency to the CU2.

The only thing that the key can't do with our CU2 is the memory seat function which is apparent in the TSX. Sambo, don't buy the used keys. They can't be reprogrammed and I don't even think they made a blank blade for the switchblades.

Hi guys just an update on my Flip Key.

I received it Thursday (21/07/2011) from Taiwan which I thought was very quick delivery as I just ordered it a week ago (13/07/2011)

I got it from this seller
http://stores.ebay.com/flipkey/Honda-/_i.html?_fsub=1691733018&_sid=130314528&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

He did not have the 3 button flip key on his Ebay store page, so I just sent him a message which he confirm that he had 3 button flip key in stock. Make sure you send him your FCC ID number, IC Number and the letter which is located on the blade of the key ( I had L on my key)

I got the key cut for $44 at Millennium locksmith in east Brisbane(beside the Gabba) They had abit of trouble getting the key to fit but after a bit of filling it work like a charm!!

As my Euro was getting its 10000K service the next day I called round to see the service manager of my dealership to if they would code the key for me. At first he said the key would not work in an Australian Euro as they use a different system. I explained to him that other Euro drivers had been able to get their key coded without issue. He finely agreed to try.

Making a long story short it worked just fine!!! best of all he did not charge me :D

All up the key cost $55 delivered and $44 to get it cut so $99 in total.

Yeah, I have a Genuine TSX switchblade. The blade is flat like our normal keys, all three button works (inc. alarm). I think it was 130ish landed.
