Flip Key modification.

[jb_buzz]

Bought the Acura TSX09 thinking maybe it may work, but it does not seem to be able to be programmed.
I removed the Memory seat setting (pressing and holding lock and unlock until double flash of LED) and tried programming it.

Does anyone know what frequency the 03HondaAccord Euro runs on.
the TSX Freq is 313.85, is my car running this or 4XX?

how did you guys took out the black "chip" beside the key? is that the only thing that needs removal?

should i heat it up using a hair dryer before trying to pry out the chip?

just get some tweezers. i just broke the surroundings in a rush so yeah..can't really see it

[huhjared]

i bought the supposedly crap case from ebay for $6 shipped( $1+$5shipping) so was wondering if it would be worth it cutting the key and use it since its just gonna cost me in total $40 to make myself happy for a month or so... hahhahaaaa.. how much is the key cut anyway...

[longers]

mine was around there...

Hi,

Can anyone pls recommend me a good locksmith to keycut my switch keyblade in Melbourne? I bought flip key case(s) off ebay, and went to two locksmiths in melbourne, they both stuffed up my keys. It would open the door, but it wouldn't turn in the ignition.

I am hoping someone can help me with this, thanks

Cheers,
Eric

honestly i don't know how it worked.
beucase the first time it didn't work i figured it was too much trouble trying to get a new
blade. so i just left it lying around.
one day i decided to try it and it worked

Did you have any trouble turning the key in the ignition on that one special day ? or did you have to turn the key harder than your OEM? because currently mine works perfectly fine on the door.

Thx.

I've finally been able to get it working with a locksmith I've found in South Melbourne. Thanks Kimnkk & longers & drezy for the info. This conversion is well worth it
