Acura Car Key & Fob Replacement
Locked out of your Acura or down to no working key? We come to you across North Dallas and cut and program your Acura key or smart fob on-site.
An auto locksmith handles Acura key and fob work right in your driveway or parking lot, including the MDX, RDX, and TLX. We cut and program Acura smart fobs and remotes on-site, usually same day, and almost always for less than the Acura dealer charges. No tow, no waiting on a service appointment.
Acura Keys & Fobs
Most Acuras on the road run a proximity smart fob with push-to-start, so there's no metal key turning an ignition. The fob talks to the car over an encrypted rolling-code signal, and a backup emergency blade tucked inside the fob opens the door if the battery dies. The MDX, RDX, and TLX have all used push-to-start proximity systems across recent model years, though exact fob part numbers and button counts vary by year and trim. Older Acuras and some base setups used a remote-head key with a transponder chip in the head, where the cut blade starts the car and the chip has to be matched to the immobilizer. Either way, a blank fob or key won't start the car until it's programmed to your specific vehicle's immobilizer, and that's the part dealers and big-box stores can't always do mobile. We carry the programmers and the right fob and key stock to handle both types where we stand.
Lost all your keys and have nothing to start the car? That's a routine call for us, not a dealer-only job. With no working fob, your Acura's immobilizer needs a fresh key registered from scratch, and we pull the security data by your VIN to do it. The tech cuts a new emergency blade to match your locks, programs a new proximity fob (or remote-head key on older models) to the immobilizer, and confirms push-to-start and remote functions before leaving. It all happens on-site at your MDX, RDX, or TLX, so there's no flatbed to the dealership and no multi-day wait on a fob shipped in.

Acura Key FAQ
Usually, yes. Dealers tend to mark up the fob and add a programming and labor charge on top, and they often want the car towed in. We bring the fob and programmer to you and price the whole job in one shot. Most Acura fob replacements run a few hundred dollars depending on whether it's a proximity smart fob or an older remote-head key, and smart fobs cost more than basic remotes. We'll quote it before any work starts.
