2002 Acura TL REMOTE-HEAD-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
People lose all their Acura keys more often than you'd think. The most common story isn't dramatic. They just never got a second key. They bought the car used with one key, always meant to get a spare, and two years later that key finally gives out.
A personal trainer at the gym parking lot in Del Mar had exactly that story. His only key to his 2002 Acura TL cracked at the fob housing and the emergency blade snapped when he tried to use it to open the door manually. The fob was in two pieces in his hand and the car was locked in the lot. Zero working keys and no way in.
I used my VVDI Key Tool to generate a fresh transponder chip while I decoded the door lock with my Lishi. Because his old fob's circuit board was still intact inside the cracked housing, I was able to read the chip data and avoid a full all-keys-lost reset, which saved time and money. His fob, FCC ID E4EG8D-444H-A, was a 4-button smart key that I rebuilt into a new housing with fresh electronics and a new emergency blade. I showed him the chip from the cracked fob so he could see it was still good.
He went from zero working keys to two in about 40 minutes. Total was around $185. A full all-keys-lost without any salvageable pieces would have cost more, and the dealer wanted $395 either way. If you still have the broken pieces, bring them. The chip data inside a cracked fob is often perfectly fine.

Five Stars From Rescued Acura Drivers
Reviews from customers we rescued
“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”
“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
“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.”
