replacement remotes
I have a 2001 CL and lost a set o keys and need to get a replacement remote.
I am considring buying a replacement remote on EBay from a company called mykeyless. a used remote will run me about $25 after shipping and a new willl cost about $35. They say they have the programming instructions as well.
How does thsi work with the automatic seat selection? I lost the "1" position remote so can i program it to replace the 1 positon settings?
Does anyone have any experience with these remotes and their programming?
thanks

Replacement Remote
Echoing what AcuraMechanic said; make sure you get a "Memory 1" remote as there is a difference. Also be sure to match the FCC ID number (should be E4EG8D-443H-A for an '01 CL).
I found the instructions to synch the remote somewhere on-line, but can't remember exactly where. It is in the official factory repair manual from HELM Corp. It is about a 12 or 13 step process and is fairly simple, but tedious. Just follow the instructions and it should work no problem. I was missing Memory 2 remote and bought a replacement one on ebay and everything worked out just fine.
BTW, where can you get a new one for only $35? My dealer wanted like $80 or so (IIRC); my recollection was that the new one cost like at least 3 times what the used one did. If you have trouble once you get it, I'll be glad to post the instructions from the HELM manual (although I don't check this site every day...). Good luck!
