🔧 PRO TIP
1996 RL is the first-gen KA9, and Acura gave it a Type 1 immobilizer from the factory. Service bulletin B96-008 lays out the key set: black master keys, one gray valet key, and a red learning key that handles registration. The ignition blank is an HD106-PT (OEM 35113-SZ3-A01) running a Megamos ID13 chip. If that green key icon on the dash blinks and the engine cranks but won't catch, it's the transponder not being read, not the starter.

1996 Acura RL Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Santa Barbara call, Goleta Beach Park. A 1996 Acura RL sitting in an underground garage with a ceiling so low a flatbed couldn't touch it. The owner only had one key left, and it was chewed up pretty good.

She sat in the driver's seat and turned to ON, then just stared at the instrument cluster. That little green key icon had her convinced the car was about to strand her for real. She said the dealer quoted weeks because the OEM keyless transmitter assembly 72147-SZ3-A02 is discontinued and they wanted to order parts before even looking at it.

I set up on the hood. Cut a fresh HD106-PT blade using her worn original as a reference, then cloned the Megamos ID13 transponder data onto a new key head. Slid it in the ignition, the RL fired, and she let out a breath she'd been holding since she called.

Then she handed me the keyless remote. Separate unit on these, not built into the key. Dead CR2025. I swapped the cell, resynced the CWT72147KA transmitter, and walked every button: lock, unlock, trunk, panic. All four clean.

Her car never left the spot. She got a working spare and a fresh remote battery without the dealership runaround, for a fraction of what they wanted.

“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”

Acura RL Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

I lost my only 1996 Acura RL key after hours. Can you come to Goleta Beach Park?
Yep. EZ Car Keyz is mobile in Santa Barbara, so the car stays where it is. On a 1996 RL, the ignition key is an HD106-PT transponder with a Megamos ID13 chip, so a plain metal cut alone won't start it. If you have zero keys, I can still originate the cuts and register the transponder to the immobilizer on site. Have your ID and registration ready. If you've still got one working key, keep it nearby so I can clone the chip data and get a solid spare done fast.
