A smart key is the type of key your 2014 Acura TL uses. It contains a programmed chip that communicates with the Honda immobilizer system in your Acura to verify it is an authorized key before the engine will start. It also has 4 buttons for remote lock, unlock, and other functions depending on your trim level. Without proper programming, even a perfectly cut key will not start your Acura because the immobilizer will reject it.

Q: How much does the Acura dealer charge vs a locksmith?

Acura dealers charge significantly more than locksmiths on almost every model. A 2022 TLX owner was quoted $800 total. A 2023 Integra owner heard $600 for a spare. A 2014 RDX owner was quoted $450. Meanwhile, that same RDX owner found Batteries Plus did the job for about $300, and an MDX owner got a locksmith to cut and program for $87. Your 2014 Acura TL smart key runs $324 with us, fully programmed and tested on site. Acura owners who shop around consistently save 30 to 75 percent versus the dealer.

Q: What is the FCC ID for the 2014 Acura TL key?

The FCC ID is M3N5WY8145, MLBHLIK-1T. This is the identifier printed on the back of your key fob that tells us exactly which key your vehicle requires. It ensures we match the correct blank, the correct chip frequency, and the correct remote protocol so the key programs correctly on the first attempt. If you are comparing prices or shopping for a key online, the FCC ID is how you verify you are getting the right part for your specific Acura.

Q: Do you offer a warranty on the key?

Yes. Every key we make comes with a warranty covering both the hardware and the programming. If anything goes wrong with the key, we stand behind it. One Acura MDX owner described a locksmith who quoted $70 but stressed it was "pass or fail" with no guarantee if programming failed. That is the kind of shop you want to avoid. When you go with EZ Car Keyz, the key is tested on the spot before we leave, and if there is ever an issue after that, we take care of it.

2014 Acura TL Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

She was at the shopping center in Thousand Oaks and her purse was gone. Someone grabbed it while she was loading bags into the car with her kids. Car keys, wallet, phone, everything. She borrowed a phone from another shopper and called her husband first, then the police, then me.

Her 2014 Acura TL was in the lot with zero keys. The Acura dealer told her husband they could order a key but it would take 3 to 5 business days, the car would need to be towed in, and they recommended rekeying the locks since the stolen fob could still open the car. Combined estimate was over $650.

I got there that evening. All-keys-lost is a different procedure than adding a spare. When you add a key, the car already trusts an existing key and just registers a new one alongside it. AKL means I clear the entire key memory and start fresh so the stolen fob can no longer start the engine. I used my IM608 to access the immobilizer module, wipe the old key data, and program two new smart keys from scratch. Her fob, FCC ID M3N5WY8145, was a 4-button proximity key. I decoded the lock with my Lishi, cut the emergency blade, and had both fobs working before she finished the police report.

She drove home that night with her kids. Total was 324 for two new keys. The dealer estimated 591 plus a tow and a multi-day wait. The stolen fob can still physically touch the door handle, but the immobilizer won't let the engine start. She had two fresh keys and the old one was dead to the car.

“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”

2014 Acura TL Pricing Questions

What it costs and what you get

Why is Acura key replacement so expensive?▼

Modern Acura keys are not just pieces of metal. A smart key has a transponder chip that communicates with the Honda immobilizer system your Acura uses, plus remote functions and often driver memory profiles for seats, mirrors, and radio presets. Programming requires access to Honda's i-HDS system, which costs the dealer $200 just for a 30-day subscription. That is why Acura dealers quote $600 to $930 for a single smart key on models like the TLX and Integra. The technology is real, but the Acura dealer markup on top of it does not have to be.
