DO NOT BUY FROM iKEYLESS.COM

THEIR SUPPOSED 09 ACURA TSX KEY WILL NOT WORK WITH AN 09 COUPE
THEY LIED FROM THE ONSET, AND WILL STOP COMMUNICATION WITH YOU ONCE THEY FIGURE OUT THERE IS A PROBLEM
HORRIBLE PLACE OF BUSINESS THEY ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED


Ok I took my keys to get the programmed at the dealer and a few wired things happend...

1)I actually forgot to give him my second remote key so he only programmed my stock key, my Acura key, and my valet key

2) despite this all four keys still start my car

3) they weren't able to get the Acura key to lock/unlock my doors

so I came home and tried to program the lock myself (keep in mind at this time only one of my keys are able to remotely unlock bc I only had him programm one of my stock remote keys and the Acura key)

now after going through the steps withthe Acura key I could never get the locks to actuate for program mode, I then went on to the second stock Honda remote (the one I neglected to program to see I'd I could get it to put the car in program mode

sure enough it did, and after I heard the locks actuate I went on to push the lock button on that key one more time to set it in te system as it is while it was still in the ignition ( the directions don't say anything ab pulling it out) after doing this I hear nothing


So I then tried to push lock on the Acura remote (while it was out of the ignition) and still nothing...

I tired this a few times and gave up only to realize that now NONE of the remotes will lock/unlock the doors now( somehow in the midst of this the key that the dealer programmed thy was actually functional lost it's ability)


At this point beyond frustrated and am giving up for now hopefully Simone can help, I'd really rather talk to one of you guys on the phone ab this so if you if you think you know what you're talking ab post in here or PLEASE PM me your number I would greatly appreciate it

I'm going to be very upset if I just wasted over 100 bucks on the key and programming only to have to go spend another 50 bucks to get my stock keys reprograed bc I just messed them up

I haven't done mine yet so I don't know how much help I can be. But I heard that if one of the buttons to program (let's say lock) doesn't work, to try the other one (unlock). I'm guessing you already tried this since it sounds like you tried a bunch of different scenarios, but just in case...

So the Acura key was working properly ( i.e. started the car and locked/unlocked) after it was programmed at the dealer and now it doesn't work, correct? Or did it not ever get programmed to lock/unlock?
I just ordered my TSX key so this concerns me.

This happened to me too. But i made the dealer fix it because there are many cars that have it done. Its an algorithm you have to put the Acura key into the ignition and turn it to "on" without starting the car and hit the unlock button on the key then turn it off (repeat this 4 more times) on the sixth time turn it to on the hit the lock button then turn it off, pull out the key and see if it works and if it does then great if it doesn't then try using lock 5 times and unlock on the last one. This will not kick the other keys off because it didnt do it for me!

Had similar issues, only when i went to the dealer all they needed was the acura key they didn't need all my key. There is an option when they are programming the immobilizer chip to just add 1 key. But for programming the fobs I was also having trouble and erasing all the fobs memory so after finally figuring out the issue I made a post about it along time ago. Hope this helps you out.

I'm not sure if I tried that I'll give it a shot when I get home thanks for the response guys also yes the stock key was working but it isn't since I set the car in program mode

The acura key woudl start the car after the dealership but would NOT unlock/lock

Ok so heres an update with semi good news, By using the method suggested above (hitting UNLOCK four times and then after it goes into program mode using LOCK to sync the remotes) I have successfully re-synched my two stock remote keys

Still no luck with the Acura key, I think the problem is the memory seat function

What i read is to turn that off you hold the lock and unlock buttons at the same time and then the red LEd it supposed ot blink once, and then two more times to show that it's been deactivated

BUT

WHen I hold them at the same time it simply blinks once, I have to let go of the buttons and the push them at the same time once again and then they only blink twice together

Am I doing the correct procedure to turn the memory seat function off of the Acura key...anyone know?

I am rooting for you to figure it out, bro. I may have to go through the same thing once I get my key and have it cut.

Still need help guys, when I hold the lock and unlock button to turn off the seat memory function on the acura key I don't think it's working any help is appreciated

ive heard its supposed to blink three times but it only blinks once

It would probably only blink like its suppose to if the accord had memory seats. The Accord don't have that feature so that's probably why its not working. Is the acura key locking and unlocking the doors ? I never went through these issues, try redoing the whole procedure over and start with programming the acura key first or trying the accord key first. The first time i did this i messed with it for like an hour trying to get all remotes working and all i would do is start the whole procedure over from the start til they all worked.

Did you get a TSX or TL? Only reason I ask is because your sig says TL...

It's an 09 TSX key, that was a typo sorry

Well I'm trying to disable the memory seat function nonetheless, I've read in two separate threads on this forum that you hold the lock and unlock button together to do so

the first person said it should blink twice

the second person said it should blink once and then twice in a row

Upon doing this the first time my led blinked once and i waited for the two blinks in a row that are supposed to come after and they never did, so i tried pushing them both at the same time again and THEN it blinked twice ina row


Either way I've tried to initiate the prgram mode with the ignition with the acura key after both different blinks and i can't get the key lock/unlock my doors

I figured getting the immobilizer was supposed to be the hard part ugh
I'm beyond frustrated and have pretty much decided I just wasted over 100 bucks bc this thing won't work.

You have to program all keys at the same time, and if the other one's work, then the Acura key must have the memory seat function on. Try turning it off by holding the lock and unlock buttons at the same time, and then try the key.

I had a little bit of trouble getting the locks to actuate, but with help from the TL key thread on this forum I ended up being successful. I love my Acura key, I'm sure you'll get it working and will love it too!

I can only get my two stock key fobs to get the car to actuate into program mode, when i do so and try to push lock on the acura key while in this mode it doesnt set.

Apparently youve turned the memory funtion off so let me ask you this,

when you pushed lock/unlock at the same time did the led blink once and then twice rapidly with one push

OR

did it simply blink twice rapidly


I"m thinking my main problem lies with the memory seat turning off but apparently im missing something when i try to turn it off i hope we can figure it out

Have you taken it back to the dealer yet?

I just tried it on my Acura key and when you turn it on it blinks once and when you turn the memory seat function it should blink twice.

So, off is two blinks..

Alright well that IS helpful, I have still already tried to program it after it's blinked twice and it didn't work but I'll keep trying

maybe ill try using the stock key to set the car in program mode and hopefully be able to push lock on the acura key now

I'm so mad right now you dont even know

THank you very much though taylour

That's how I programed my remotes. I hadn't even had my key cut yet and I was able to program the buttons. Just use the normal key to enter the mode, and do as the instructions say. It took me like 5 tries and I got really frustrated but I eventually got it to work. Good luck!

Alright guys this is hopeless, I just tried again

I hold the lock/unlock buttons on my acura key and the led blinks twice

I then set my car into program mode with my stock key,

i push lock on the key in the ignition and the locks actuate

I push lock on my acura key and nothing

I push lock on my second stock key and the locks actuate

I don't understand..

This seems really odd its not working for you. Only thing that would keep it from working would be the FCC ID's being different or has this been confirmed that it works with the 09's? I know this sounds like a stupid question and you prolly already checked but did you look at the back of the acura key and the stock and both say
FCC ID: MLBHLIK-1T
IC: 2500A-HLIK1T

If these are both the same I really don't know what else to say but keep trying and messing with it. Maybe someone will pop in here that has one and lives close and could maybe help you out, I would but I'm 13 hours away..lol

I'm assuming the area that tells you what the FCC ID of the key is on the sticker which has apparently been removed form the key as you can see above.

That being said I emailed the website I bought it from before I bought it and they indeed told me that the FCC ID was MLBHLIK-1T, although I never asked what the IC# was, I just assumed if the FCC ID was correct then i was alright


At this point it HAS to be a problem with the actual key because i've had to reprogram my two stock keys countless times so I know I'm doing that sequence correctly, and I've tested the acura key twice after hold unlock/lock together ( testing whether the single blink or double blink turns of the memory seats)

I've emailed the website again detailing my problems and they are very good about answering quickly so hopefully I hear something from them early tomorrow

as for now I freaking give up, even if they offer me some kind of exchange I've already spent 55 bucks on programming the chip ughhh

Thats seems fishy in itself not having the sticker on the back. I think all the oem acura keys i've seen so far has this on there. The sticker even shows how to enable and disable the memory functions. It seems like the fob is bad or wrong part all together.

The website has emailed me back a few times, first they asked me to send them pictures of my stock key along with the key they sent me

then they sent another email asking if i had an accord or acura

my answer: i have a 2009 honda accord and it's been well documented that this key should work with it.

That was about three hours ago and they haven't emailed me again since, hopefully they are trying to figure it out, and not just abandeding me

Some promising news, the website emailed me saying they are working on figuring out what the problem is, he doesnt have anymore keys in stock so he can't give me a replacement right now, hes going to let me know what he wants to do tomorrow morning after he does some research but he said he might have me ship the key to him

Sent you a message Kay check mailbox. As far as the website is concerned did you purchase from www.ikeyless.com? Whom did you purchase it from? I received my key from Jkcheng and am not very satisfied with the condition the key is in. Looks pretty worn and definitely used. Alot of the key is scratched and at the loophole portion looks like it's chipped or cracked. So sent PM to JKcheng to see if he'd accept a return on them. Sorry to hear your having these troubles man.

He bought both our keys from ikeyless ( i bought mine from him as well), and i agree mine looks worn as well. although that doesn't really bother me much, what DOES bother me is it not working

I can get pretty anal so I've sent him the PM to see if he'd accept a return on it. I'll just pick mine up from Acura. =T

Too each as own, at this point ill be happy to just get the thing functional, I've already spent too much on it

If both of you are having trouble with it, I guess I can return them if both are sending back. Really prefer not to bother though :D

We will test all items and may deny refund if damaged by the customer. Any return may be subject to a 20% restocking fee. Shipping is not refundable.

I've been dealing with the guy through email and he seems pretty understanding, I think that restocking fee is more for people who are returning for reasons other than defect, either way I guess it will unfold when he clues me in tomorrow morning, I'll keep everyone updated


The real key to figuring this out (no pun intended) is to test out the other key and see if it will work or not, thats why ive been trying to reach one of you two guys

Only issue I'm having is the condition of the key...I've yet to try to program or cut the key and I can say that I'm not pleased at all with the conditions of the key I received from JKcheng, Kay i think both keys should be returned for defect and figure it out from there...I'm still gonna try to return it to jkcheng so I can get money back and place that towards a purchase of the key from Acura themselves...

Kind of strange that this company would sell keys that are already scratched, scraped, buttons worn, key loophole cracked and chipped, and key not flipping out or closing properly (smoothly)

Just an update on this situation to everyone here...Kay and I just attempted to program mine and his and it seems we've got ourselves two non-compatible tsx keys...unless i can get my situation resolved with jkcheng i guess i'm out $65 bucks -_- or kay if you hear from the guy and he's willing to accept a return on the products maybe we can work something else out...after this fiasco i'm def more then willing to just spend the $100 to get a real Acura key from straight from Acura themselves then to deal with second hand sellers...or just stick with my stock keys =(

This blows. My key is on the way - that means I will have to return pretty much right away since it is not compatible. How did you guys realize it was not compatible?

I definitely will. I am going to try to program the fob before cutting it to see if it works or not. I hope to get it tomorrow or Thursday so hopefully you or Neiklot will be around to assist. But logic tells me - we are doomed. :mad:

I bought my key from ikeyless also but I haven't tried to program it either. Man, this blows. Lucky for me I didn't get it cut yet so I shouldn't have any issues for returning it.

I purchased mine from jkcheng but after talking with him and Kay I've found out that the keys originated from ikeyless.com, as far as compatibility is concerned I'm pretty certain that the keys we've both received are used or refurbished keys as they are in terrible condition for items "claiming to be new".

Yes they are OEM keys but they are by no means new.

Here's my gallery of pics I took of the key I received. As you can see it is in pretty bad condition. Scratches everywhere. I will say that I have never dropped it or anything since I received it yesterday. According to jkcheng this was the exact condition the keys came in when he got it from ikeyless. And BLK we're hoping that the guy will waive the restocking fee as he sold us false products that are useless to us all. This decision will show what kind of company these guys really are. If they stick by the fact that they will charge us the restocking fee for mis-sold items then I'm gonna have to start taking matters into my own hand. We shall see...just hope we get the answer we want from Kay's email to them.

Hopefully the guy at the site will be understanding and accept a return on these keys. As soon as Kay gets a confirmation that we can indeed return them for full refund I'll send mine back to jkcheng so that he can in turn return it and send me my $65 back, I can't return them as I've no record of ever having purchased the keys from them.

Thanks for the pics. That was really helpful. So which programming instructions did you guys use and how were you able to determine these keys are not compatible?

I received no programming instructions...you gotta understand that jkcheng originally purchased it from them...then decided to not keep it since it was too big and bulky so he sold it to me, that is how i have mine. :thmsup:

I can send them over if you want - its a pdf so I cant copy and paste it. (Or at least don't know how.) I dont know if they are of any use since they are designed for an acura.

probably not needed as the programming of the stock should be the same way with the acura key...check your pdf instructions compared to the link i provided with the instructions on it and see if it's similar.

Except we pay for shipping it back too and possibly a 20% restocking fee. :thumbsdow

I hear ya, BUT I was expecting a NEW key. This isn't even close to that as others have already stated. Nor does the key apparently work. I don't remember seeing anything saying that this key would be in anything but new condition. If they did, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

For real, how can a restocking fee be applied to a used product? Makes no sense.

I know, it made us to believe the keys were new - it never said used keys.

All in all, we didn't get the product we ordered. I was expecting a new key that worked. They apparently couldn't get either correct. I don't see how they could legitimately charge a restocking fee for that much less charge for shipping since it's their screw-up.

Only way to truly know this will work is to get the OEM 2009 Acura tsx switchblade which is Part # 35113-TL0-A10 , it just sucks they tripled in price.

As far as programming goes I made a full post months ago on how to do it as well. Seems for me and others that a lot on the programming instructions say to do the procedure hitting the LOCK button but after trying that 100 times and not working I tried it doing the UNLOCK and worked perfect.

^^^I am hoping that is exactly the case - iKeyless instructions say specifically UNLOCK instead of LOCK. I should receive my keys today/tomorrow and will let you know how it went.

More probable cause for the problems that Kayzle and Neiklot are having is defective key, however.

I read their reveiws and it seems like the guy who sells the keys has a track of shadyness around returns, i.e. not processing returns, saying that he never received the item, etc. I just don't know what to expect from company.

I still haven't gotten the key from Keyless but as soon as I do I will update you on my experience. I just REALLY hope the key will work. Otherwise, I feel like we have all been victims of some dirty shady business practice.

OK i've sent two emails and called and left a message to their contact number and they have yet to contact me in 2 days, shady ass business

Still waiting to receive the key here. Kayzle you outta continue to press him with emails and calls. If my stuff comes messed up - I will be contacting this guy relentlessly. And if he doesn't reply back me - If I have to drive to Louisville, KY to speak to him in person - I will.

Yea the emails were two days ago, and I've called hi about 5 times today and left one voicemail, that was about 3 hours ago, I thought he might be on lunch

But I think hes officially avoiding me now.

I think I'm screwed either way as far as returning the key goes, I've already cut it so I'm sure he won't take it back.

I'll keep calling and emailing but its not looking good

If there's no chance of you keeping it, send it back so I can process the return.

aight i'll send the key back to you...i really hope this guy comes through for us and his lack of contact is just a fluke -_-

Any word from the guy at iKeyless kayzle? Oh and JKCheng I sent the key on Friday so it should arrive today or tomorrow according to the USPS estimated time. Did any of you guys who ordered it receive it?

I haven't yet. Most likely will receive today. I don't see how shipping from KY to TN takes that long.

He emailed me back saying he would accept a return but I had more questions for him, I'd rather him send me a key with the sticker on it to garantee its a genuine tsx key, so i asked if he could do that, that way if it worked i could swap out the guts and have a working one

a return at this point is useless seeing as how i already sunk 50 bucks into getting it cut and programmed, he hasn't answered since last thursday though, he has gotten increasingly slow at returning my messages... so i dunno

Not going to receive my order today. The mail just ran - no package from ikeyless. This is starting to piss me off.

Just found out that they did not actually ship my item because they were out of stock so I was able to cancel my order and have them process full refund.

wow good for you BLK at least you don't have to deal with this issue. I'm still awaiting my payment back from JKCheng once he returns the key to them. This is such a terrible experience...

Neiklot, I still haven't received any response from iKeyless. I wonder if they gone AWOL due to all the complaints from Kayzle. Would you be okay if I refund you half the amount for now?

For the ppl having trouble with programming, is it possible to just move the insides from our current key (I got 2 plus valet key when I bought the car) to the Acura key? Will programming still be required in that situation?

jk I'm ok with that...at least I know for certain you're more then willing to figure this mess out with us. I have yet to hear back from iKeyless as well, I sent them an email last week and haven't heard since...just refun me half back and if we get this mess straightened out then i can get the rest back.

Yea hes officially abandoned me, I wonder the same thing about switching out the insides, I think that woudl require some soldering tho

Took the TSX key apart:
FCC ID: OUCG8D-439H-A
IC: 850G-G8D439HA

Doesn't match our Honda keys, wonder if this why programming doesn't work.

I'm trying to follow this thread to transfer the immobilizer, but I see no chip in my Honda key...

Found it on the circuit board:

That red stuff is on there pretty good. The chip is glued pretty tight to the board.

Took the chip out and put it in the slot of the TSX key. Note that the shape of the two chips aren't the same. Not sure if there will be any contact issues causing the chip to not work =(

Questions: Will I be able to test if the key works by getting the key cut w/o programming the door locks? Anyone know if I can get the key cut at Home Depot or have to be dealer or locksmith?

If iKeyless doesn't respond, can I actually talk to my credit card company to do a charge back for faulty items delivered?

I just tried programming the TSX key and it does not work at all, while I was able to easily reprogram both my existing keys. The iKeyless doesn't respond at all.

This was my conclusion as well...i erased both set of keys and found to easily sync them back to the car...the TSX key is impossible and found to have no results...if I were you i'd definately contact the CC company and inquire about it.

Hmm there's actually a "dispute charges" on my CC's website. One of the reasons listed is "dissatisfied with merchandise". I just sent in the dispute, included Kayzle's key as well.

Looks like I may have lost my spare key in the process. I took the chip out of it and when I put it back it's not able to start the car. I noticed the first time I put it back I had it upside down, not sure if that matters at all. Haven't tried to restart the car since putting the chip back in in the correct orientation. I don't know if I just broke it while removing it also.

This is EXACTLY why it doesnt work, he told me the FCC id on the key was the saem as our honda key, he lied

you can program the key without having it cut or programmed, you only need those to start it

Below is the email where he told me that the FCC ID was correct for us




don't have the IC number handy - but the FCC ID is MLBHL1k-1T

Sorry friend - we don't have a high mark-up on these remotes at

could do 10% off but that's honestly the best that we can do, just
let me know :-)

Thanks for the inquiry

Hi I"m from http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/index.php, and were
interested in getting a few people together to buy multiples
of this key if
you would offer a discount if we all buy at once, My question
to you is

How many would we have to buy, and how much of a discount
would you offer

and just ot be clear would you give me the FCC id and IC
number on this
key linked below.

Ah okay, I was wondering what email you were referring to in the PM. I will keep this for the charge dispute case.

this thread saddens me...=(

quick search online shows other's have experienced the same "used key" situation

I just sent him one more FINAL email :


"Ok it's been over two weeks, and you haven't responded to my last email, I have taken the key apart only to find that the FCC id as written inside isn't MLBHL1k-1T as you originally told me. This would be why the key is not working with my keyless entry. I have filed a dispute with my credit card company, hopefully you will stop ignoring me and address this yourself, I either want my money back or IDEALLY like to have the correct 09 TSX key with the V FCC ID.

IF you continue to ignore me I suppose I will just take it up with a higher authority."

When I did my TL key for my 05, I ended up having to buy both a TL key and a TSX key because I got screwed kind of by ending up with a already cut (used) TL key.

So- I have a brand new TSX remote portion of the key with the fcc starting with ML portion that would work for you. If you want it just PM me and I'm sure we can work something cheap out. It's just sitting in my desk doing nothing so if it can help you then great..

Big thanks to taylor, with the Switch of his remote portion with mine I now have a working Switchblade key!!!!


and for the record, the FCC ID was on the inside and iKeyless straight up lied to me, as i showed in the email before, he told me the FCC id was totally different that the OUc number that's inside this key

Unbelievable, I wish there was some way I could bring him down.

take it up with ebay, say it didnt fit the item description.

Didn't buy it from ebay, bought it from iKeyless.com

and for the record



DO NOT BUY FROM iKEYLESS.COM

THEIR SUPPOSED 09 ACURA TSX KEY WILL NOT WORK WITH AN 09 COUPE
THEY LIED FROM THE ONSET, AND WILL STOP COMMUNICATION WITH YOU ONCE THEY FIGURE OUT THERE IS A PROBLEM
HORRIBLE PLACE OF BUSINESS THEY ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED

Yea keep me posted to, I've now got a full spare key with the parts from Taylour so I'll send that back to him and get my money back to

Update for Kayzle and Neiklot:

I just got a call from my CC saying they will do the charge back and I should see it on my next statement. He also mentioned if I do get in touch with the merchant to return the defective merchandise to provide documentation of the return.

I still have not gotten any response from iKey so I won't bother returning mine until he responds. Kayzle when you send yours back please provide documentation.

I'll refund both Kayzle and Neiklot (the other half of the total) when I get home. I hope this experience will deter everyone on DA from purchasing from iKeyless.

I've got the two pieces of paper you sent with my key, both of which were instructions, but the second page has the order number and receipt info on it, I'll send those, as far as documentation that's all i have unless you're referring to soemthign else

are you sending to me or to iKey.

are you sending to me or to iKey.

I'm going to send it to you tomorrow, that way they arrive at the same time.

Just as a little aside the FAKE TSX keys at iKeyless.com have now gone up 30 bucks in price, unbelievable

:notworthy: sweet sounds awesome man!! promote the fall of iKeyless and let's not let anyone else on DA from falling into their trap of deception :thmsup:

their price on the key is now $100.00, that alone should deter people from buying.
