When I bought my car last year (used 2001 SH), I never received the red key. The dealership only gave me one key (yea....its bull****!). So I thought I need the red key too to reprogram the other keys, but that's not so. The Acura dealership that I bought my car from didn't even need the red key in order to reprogram it. All they did was just use the current key and copied the key and the chip inside the key (don't ask me how they did it) but IF you did lose your red key when you first bought your car, its not the end of the world! THEY ARE ABLE TO REPROGRAM YOUR KEY WITHOUT IT!!!!
Well that's good to know. My dealer had me a little worried (not that I have a tendency to loose things), and the salesman made sure I understood all about the key. So then the other side of the story is don't loose any of your keys, as someone could just go to any Honda/Acura dealer and have it copied. By the way, how much did they charge you?
