according to the auction: It has a retrackable blade. Just "cut" the key, take the internal electronics, buttons and place it to our key shell, then you are ready! (Transponder chip is also required to move from your original key). NO PROGRAMMING NEEDED.

$35 shipped... no programming cost... just get it cut, any deal can do it.

I ordered one last week. It'll come in this week or next week. I'll do a review and write up on how to transplant afterwards.

looks like a good idea. i think id rather use a rdx key switch? although it does have an acura symbol on it.

I've read about other Honda's using the TL switchblade too.

yeah, never saw a definitive answer though.

this looks cheap, but i'd love to see kamui's results.
