2012 Acura TL Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A wedding guest staying at a hotel up in the North Ranch neighborhood of Thousand Oaks called me on a Saturday night. He had a 2012 Acura TL, push-to-start, zero keys. His only fob, the M3N5WY8145, had vanished somewhere between his hotel room and the ceremony. The hotel concierge told him smart key replacement was dealer-only. The nearest Acura dealer was closed until Monday.
He had a flight home Sunday afternoon.
I drove out and got to work in the hotel lot. All-keys-lost on the fourth-gen TL is more involved than a standard transponder job. The immobilizer control unit, part 38101-TK4-A03, needs the old key data cleared before new fobs can register. I used my ACDP on the 93C66 EEPROM to pull a safety backup of the immobilizer data, then ran the AKL sequence through the OBD port. New proximity fob, HITAG 2 chip paired to his VIN, emergency insert key cut on site.
The whole thing took about 40 minutes. His TL started in that hotel parking lot while wedding guests were still heading to the after-party.
He just sat in the driver's seat for a second, hands on the wheel, like he was making sure it was real. Then asked if he could get a spare. I programmed a second one right there. He made his flight the next day, both fobs in his pocket.

What no-hassle service sounds like
“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
“Needed a spare car key made and chose EZ Car Keyz based on their reviews. The reviews were right. They gave me the best price, responded quickly to all my questions, came to my workplace, cut the keys on site, and finished fast.”
