I know there was a DIY up on the old forums for a flip key, i think it was for the Ridgeline or TSX key (forgot) and there were also red emblems for them. The mod involved swapping the chip out of the unlock/lock transmitter into the new key to make a all-in-one solution. Where can I find this DIY? If anyone remembers the key used that would be great too.
:thumbu: thanks in advance
i belive its a TL or RDX key
just found this:http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=428964

I also saw Ridgeline in there, time to do some reading. Thanks!
yeah, ridgeline works to. I guess the best is the TL key since the transmitter in our car are from the same manufacturer that make the TL remote. not sure if the ridgeline is the same.
Now im just trying to figure out how they made them with a red H logo instead of the acura logo...
After finding this, I think that was the ridgeline key with a red H added. I saw some covers on ebay with the red H for like $26, but I just want the sticker. Plus, I'm not paying $26!

Anyone happen to recall where to get just the H sticker?
I'll put picks up later but there's a guy on eBay from china that sells the flip key with red h emblem for 50 shipped. Then what I did was rip the chip out of my valet key n gorilla glued the chip into the flip fob. When u get the key fob there's a perfect cubby hole for the chip. Key fob comes with a blank key. Take that to local dealer n they cut for you. Mine did it for free. Only problem I came accross was that the key part was a little thick so I filed it down till it fit. Have been using it for over a year n f-ing love it. IPhone cam is messed up so I'll try to put up photo asap.Attachment 5760Attachment 5761 Can't upload big files or i don't know how to do it, but here!!
Bump for it I'm down to do it.Quote:

found this seller with what seems to be the correct switchblade component needed. Doesnt seem to come with the JDM RED H yo lol, but looks good, but pricey
I think this is more because it seems to be complete with immobilizer chip and remote internals. The one previously posted was only shell without chip.
New from dealer is probably more anyways.
I think I read it was only the shell, the pic just shows an example of how it would look. Dealer would be more though like u said. There's more on eBay I was just sure that might be itQuote:

Also u will need an extra key to rip apart. I used my valet key for the chip. ? Just ask.
Immobilizer chip! I used my valet chip 1 because it's already programed. I called around to see if anyone can do it n they all wanted to charge me $50+ just to program the chip.Quote:

Also I don't have the sticker on the back of my remote how will I know if the remote will be programmable without it are all 03 remotes the same Number? If so can someone hook even up with a number to provide to the Seller?
Take some wire cutters n slowly cut away the plastic n it will be right in the middle of the plastic part. As for the programming for the remote there a diy somewhere or just call the dealer n they can tell u how.Quote:

the one I bought was $45 it showed pictures with the red h it stated in its description uncut and needs no remote internals.. I'm actually thinking about getting a genuine TL switchblade key on pay day and doing 2 keys..
Geeze id think theyd be cheaper but whatever ill keep looking
So that ebay listing is legit? if I buy that, all I have to do is program it and it'll work?
i have an 02 Civic Si so would it work with my car?
Hey guys I bought a unit last year that was an easy, elegant solution. It's specifically for the ep3. Here's a current listing:
Title:
02 HONDA CIVIC SI SIR ALin1 SMART FLIP KEYLESS ENTRY CHIP KEY REMOTE TRANSMITTER
http://bit.ly/THK44h
It comes with a chip built-in.
There are 3 things to do:
1. Get the key cut (locksmith).
2. Have the internal chip coded to match your existing key (I found a locksmith who had this equipment and although he wasn't sure it would work, it did). When I was calling around I asked "I bought an aftermarket key for my Honda and I need to program the internal chip to match my original keys. If I bring in my original keys do you have the equipment to do this?" Here in Portland, A1 Security on Barbur had the equipment and did this for me.
3. Program the keyless entry (you can do this yourself. Instructions were included.)
No need to hack up your oem keys to extract a chip. The price is not cheap but the quality feels oem and it includes a thick red H sticker that covers the screw hole. I really like mine.
Thanks for the link and I'm thinking ordering this soon.
Cool good luck! I'll post a pic of mine later today. :)Quote:

The carbon leather cover was from a different eBay seller, also from Hong Kong.
I've got an uncut one I will give away. Pay the shipping it's yours. Bought a TL key.
