    Flip key?

    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.

    thanks in advance

    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.keyfob1.jpgIMG_1006.JPG Can't upload big files or i don't know how to do it, but here!!

    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 it

    eBay keyfob that r 45$ n up will come with everything u need except the chip. Red "H", remote, blank key, etc. Just make sure that ur year will be compatible with the remote that he sales. Contact seller wit ur remote # n they can send u the right one. $45 is a little pricey but compared to other flip keys it's not that bad. Just make sure u ask the seller that remote is compatble. Also u will need an extra key to rip apart. I used my valet key for the chip. ? Just ask.
