DIY: Acura TL Switchblade Key Fob
I want to add another voice to this chorus. Would love to hear GE8 stories and see the DIY pics--thanks!
Hi! Anybody interested in doing this for me for a fee? My brother loves his Fit and I thought this would be a great Christmas present for him! I'm located in San Diego, so the closer the better. My brother has the 08 Fit Sport model and the FCC ID is 0UCG8D-380H-A.
I'd also like to know if it's been done on the 09. I'll be getting one soon and this would be a great accessory. Also wondering if the TSX key is the same size/shape as the TL. Pretty good deals on them on eBay.
Hey peeps here is my supplement to this MOD. I did the Trunk delete. I wrote this a while back when I did mine. I also found that my 08 had the same chip as the TL.I also have all the part numbers and pics still up to help.

Might have some good news for 09+ folks. Although the FCC ID Niko provided doesn't match the 07-08 TL keys, I found one that does.
The new 09+ TSX keys have exactly the same FCC ID and ID so they should work. Others can confirm:
FCC ID: MLBHL1K-1T
ID: 2500A-HL1K1T
The even better news is that it's cheaper than the TL key. The 09+ TSX key can be had for under $35.
If anyone decides to try it out, you can use comptrekkie's guide above this post. It helped when I did mines.

where are you ordering the keys from? you getting it online or from a local dealer? Im interested in doing this mod too.
just check around. it can get relatively cheap. Mine was from a dealer that happens to sell on eBay.
eBay Motors 2009 TSX key Mem-2
and you can ask them about getting the RDX cover for a trunk delete.

it works it works!
Just got the dealer to program the key today, and isn't she a beauty! I know it's a small thing, but it's the little things we appreciate in life. ^^ All told, it was about 80 bucks start to finish. About 30 for the key, 10 for the cover, and 40 for him to program it.

I guess this means I can get rid of the blank TL key that I initially ordered since the TSX key worked for the '09.
In Response to mchoffa
Dealer cut the key for free, charged me $40 for labor. And when I say program, I mean you actually got to take the key to the dealer for programming, because now the immobilizer's not in the fob, so you can't just switch the chip out.
