Replacement Key....

Phantisy · 05-08-08, 09:10 AM

I just bought a used 99 RL and we only received one master key. We didn't get the learning key or anything else and we need to get another key made. I talked to the dealer and I was told there is no way to get another key made without the learning key without replacing the key security system. Does anyone know different?

We actually have the gray valet key not the master. Is there a way to get a master key made without the key number plate?

I don't even think there is a "learning key" for the car. Hell you can get the key cut at wal-mart and program it yourself I believe.

When new Acura's come with a red "learning key" and "key number plate." It is used by the dealer to code replacement keys tho the car's Immobiizer System. However, this key should "never" be used in the car's ignition switch because it may cause the system to malfunction making the master and valet keys unusable.

I just bought a 02 RL about two weeks ago and took the key to the dealer and got two copies made I took the red master key and the dealer didn't need it. This was the Acura dealer in Richmond, VA.
