| TL type S switchblade keys
Anybody interested in getting a switchblade key from the 07-08 TL Type S?
This will work on the 04-06 TL, 04-08 TSX, RSX and EP3($20 extra and I'll need a key to swap the chip out)
You will get the switchblade milled.
You will need to cut and program it yourself or it can be done here at the dealership.
Pricing TBD but approximately $150
Need 10 people

ok what if i want to switch to the switch blade design.
have 05 rsx s
im currently running Compustar 2 way pager alarm.
I still want to operate my 2 way compustar, do i just get the switch blade and rekey the key, not necessary have to reprogram? since if i do, my compustar probably wouldt work?
what would it be?
$150 is including programing, fob and rekey? or..?
one of my buddy with the 05 TL might be interested
let me know thx
does it come with one or two fobs? i may only need just one, what would the price be

The switchblade has a chip inside that needs to be programed to the car. Does your compustar bypass that and use its own immobilizer?
It is approximately 150 for the key fob to be milled to the type of blade we need.
Cutting and programming the key will be extra.
1 fob per order. You can order 2 and have a memory 1 and memory 2 if you want.

damn slightly more expensive than i thought
$150 just for key, and cutting is extra hmm
im not too sure
when i lock the doors with my compustar, stock alarm red light still comes on
im guessing its bypassed? but i remember my alarm installer mention both horn will still come on. So i wonder if stock immoblizer and aftermarket immoblizer both still works

So add shipping and tax to that.

so i guess i can just get the fob, rekey it, and i can use it i guess without programing.
Those that do have to do the programing, looks like you will have to prepare $250
is $150 taxes in?

you'd probably need the chip from your original key in the car though.
150 taxes in.
Might be cheaper, ill have to get final pricing once we get 10 people signed up.
I can get the key cut for you for like 10 bucks.

cutting will be about 10 bucks.
programming, $75 but of course ill talk to the service manager and try to get a lower rate for you guys.
It's not the key that is the problem. It is the immobilizer chip that might not work.
I havn't heard of it working for an EP3.

Just talk to whoever installed your compustar or even some of the sponsors on here that carry the compustar alarms.

It will be about $20 more too and you'll need to give me one of your keys.

I did this mod for an EP3.
-In my case(and I think for RSX); you don't need to re-program the immobilizer IF you are swapping the chip from an old key(you have to cut up the spare key)
-programming the FOB is easy and DIY
-mine is a milled key, not the older side cut style so it only cost me $60(key)+$10(cut)+some free time!
