2018 Acura RDX Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Do you need to tow your 2018 Acura RDX to the dealer? Probably not. For most Acura models from the mid-2000s through the early 2020s, I handle all-keys-lost right at the car.
A night shift warehouse worker at his apartment complex in San Diego had his only key die at home around 11pm. His RDX was parked in the lot with a push-to-start system and no fob that the car would recognize. He assumed a tow was inevitable and had already started looking up tow costs and dealer hours. I told him to stay home and that I'd come to him.
I connected my Smart Pro to the OBD port and ran the Acura smart key AKL procedure, which clears the old key data and learns new fobs to the car's immobilizer module. His Smart Key, FCC ID KR580399900, was a 5-button proximity fob with an emergency blade inside. I programmed it in his apartment parking lot at 11pm. He seemed pretty surprised the whole thing could happen right there.
His total was about $312. The dealer would have been $572 plus the tow. There are a small number of very new Acura models where my tools don't support AKL yet and those do have to go to the dealer. But for the vast majority of Acuras on the road, 2005 through about 2021, I do all-keys-lost on-site every week. If your model is one of the rare exceptions, I'll tell you straight up instead of wasting your time.

Acura Keys: From Panic to Five Stars
Emergency rescues that earned five stars
“My car keys were stolen on a cold evening and Nick drove all the way out to Santa Barbara. He got into my car, made a new key, and charged $100 less than another company. Friendly, skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Nick is a hero.”
“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
“Very professional and extremely affordable. The price was literally about three times cheaper than what my dealership quoted me. Fast service and no stress at all. Highly recommend.”
