Acura Smart Keys and What You Are Paying For

All Acura models that were manufactured after 2004 are equipped with proximity fobs, which perform both lock and unlock functions and carry the authorization codes needed to start the engine. The replacement key therefore must be compatible with your particular vehicle and must be correctly programmed into the security system of your Acura vehicle.

Replacement Acura fobs may sometimes be slightly more expensive than the keys from comparable Honda vehicles, but the cost of replacement will depend on several aspects, such as the year, model, type of the key or fob and availability of the replacement.

When the Fob Only Works Against the Start Button

If your MDX, RDX or TLX starts the engine only if you place the fob against the start button, don't rush to the conclusion that you need a completely new key. The push start button vehicles have a backup mode that allows them to read your key right on the spot when the battery in the fob is running low.

This will make an excellent beginning in solving this problem. Should there be no difference at all, there must certainly be a problem somewhere with the fob itself or any other part of the keyless entry system. The replacement and programming of the fob can both be done in one shot.

Purchased Your Acura With One Fob

The problem of purchasing your Acura with only one key is common practice, but getting a duplicate of that key sooner rather than later would be more reasonable. Making another key when you still have the functioning key is always easier than the situation of having all your keys gone and losing access to the car.

There is another aspect to this issue that should be considered, it is possible that you don't know how many keys were programmed for your car before, and whether any of the previous owners still has one. Some of the procedures allow removal of the old keys from the register of keys during reprogramming.

Keyless Access and Unexpected Locking Problems

If your Acura unlocks unexpectedly or does not lock despite the attempts, the problem may not be in the fob itself. The Keyless Access system is designed to detect the presence of the authorized key in the certain vicinity of the vehicle. In this case, for example, the spare fob left somewhere near the garage door can be detected by the vehicle.

Any additional fobs should be taken out of the car. In case the problem persists, then the issue may be in other areas of the system, including the sensor in the door handle. This preliminary test of the system will ensure that you do not buy an additional fob unnecessarily.
