I purchase this car used without the keyless remote, but the car has the OEM security system which I have been using the car key to activiate and de-activiate the security all along. I have purchased an acura keyless remote(the one with lock and unlock button) from ebay which I was told it will work for the 96-98 TLs, can anyone provide me the programming instruction, thanks.

take it to the dealer, as far as i know you need to give them the vin # and they should be able to program your remote

 

Is there anyway I can do it myself? The dealer said I will need to take in for service in order for the technican to program the remote. I want to see if I can do it myself, I don't have to wait. I find some programming instruction for some other Hondas and Acuras, do you think the programming instruction will be very similar?

I have no idea whether it works the same way as an Accord... And even then, those instructions are for when you already have at least one working remote. If you try it, I'm curious to know if it works.

 

its kinda like if you disconnect your battery and don't know the code to your headunit--you'r fawked untill the dealer gives you the code
