Key types by year
Which Acura key do you have?
| Model years | Key type | What that means for replacement |
|---|---|---|
| 1997 to 2003 | Transponder key | TL, CL, Integra and early MDX. The chip registers to the immobilizer at the diagnostic port and the blade is cut from the vehicle's code. |
| 2004 to about 2013 | Transponder key with the remote in the head | TL, TSX, MDX and RDX. One unit does the starting and the locking, so a dead remote and a worn blade are a single replacement. |
| 2013 onward | Proximity smart fob, push-button start | MDX, RDX, TLX and ILX. The fob must match the year and button count. Paired at the vehicle, with lost fobs erased so they cannot start the car. |
How Acura key programming works
Acura programming goes through the diagnostic port, and the system programs every key for the car in a single session rather than adding one at a time. That is why the technician asks how many working keys you have before quoting: with one in hand the job is short, with none it takes longer and the price reflects it. Keys are cut from the vehicle's code on the mobile machine rather than copied from a worn original, which also cures an ignition that has become stiff to turn.
Things to know before you call about an Acura
- Because every key is programmed in one session, the cheap moment to add a spare is while the technician is already at your car. A second key made on the same visit costs a fraction of booking a separate one later.
- An MDX or RDX fob that has been through the wash usually still has a readable chip inside a ruined housing. Bring it to the technician rather than binning it, because recovering the chip can turn an all-keys-lost job into a simple copy.
Pricing for Acura keys
An older Acura transponder key is the least expensive, a remote-head key a step up and a proximity fob the most. A copy made beside a working key costs far less than an all-keys-lost visit. The dispatcher gives one flat price for your exact model year.

Acura key questions
Do you come out to program an Acura smart fob?
Yes, that is how we do all of them. The technician pairs the fob at the vehicle wherever it is parked and erases any lost fobs so they can no longer start the engine.
Should I have a spare Acura key made at the same time?
It is worth it. Honda and Acura program every key for the car in one session, so a spare made during the same visit costs far less than booking a second visit later.

Tell the dispatcher the model and year, and whether it is a rental. You get a flat price and a technician at your car, usually within the hour, until midnight.
