MDX keyless entry remote question
Hi guys,
I was lucky enough to get my grandma's 02 MDX for my 27th birthday since she doesn't drive anymore, and it only has 44k miles. Its practically brand new, and I love it!
I do have a question though, she had her purse stolen about a year ago so she lost both sets of keys and both remotes. She never used the remotes so she only bought 1 replacement key so thats all I have now.
I found a few places to get replacement remotes, but I wanted to check to make sure these are correct before I order:
FCC ID : E4EG8D-444H-A
CANADA : 8501021819
G8D-444H-A
( SELECT FROM: )
Memory # 1 or Memory # 2
Also what is the "memory" number for? Thanks!

Its best to go with dealer keys.Thy change all the time and i have had no luck with aftermarket keys.It looks correct but i might not program.Or you could call the dealer get the correct part number and make shure it matches up before getting it.

Thanks - I called the number for the site selling the remotes and they assured me it is the Acura factory remotes they sell, nothing aftermarket. The operator also cleared up the memory question I had and explained how the memory seats work with the remotes so I ordered a #1 and a #2 remote. I'll reply back once they arrive and see if I can program them as easy was it was explained to me.

Yay!
I got the remotes today. The packaging took forever to open, but I guess I'd rather have something extra padded in shipment instead of not enough padding and damaged in the mail.
The programming instructions were easy, except after you turn the key you have to listen for a very quiet click that is like 1-2 seconds after the key is turned. You can hear a buzzing.......so its like "bzzzzzzzzz.....click" and then you press the LOCK button. The instructions just said press it within 4 seconds.
Its hilarious that dealerships want so much for remotes and then charge extra just to program them when there are sites like this to use.
The Acura category is the first link on the left on their site if anyone is interested - https://OriginalKeyless.com

Beware, albygirl is a scammer.
Please search google for "The packaging took forever to open", and click show related results. You'll see lots of different car sites where the same type of post is used and she then responds with the same result..."Yay! I got the remotes today. The packaging took forever to open, but I guess I'd rather have something extra padded in shipment instead of not enough padding and damaged in the mail."
I ordered a keyless entry unit for my Mazda3 and they charged my CC# but haven't shipped anything. They sent me a notice with a tracking number, saying the part has shipped, but USPS only shows they received a notification to "expect the shipment" not that it's been received.
Therefor, treat this as a scam, and DO NOT USE THE SITE MENTIONED, originalkeyless.com. To prove to you further scam behavior, try calling the number on the site. You will find 1) It's just a recording saying call volume is high and to email them instead. and 2) They use this number as a fax number as well...interesting since you cant get anything or anyone to pick up anyway.
I'll update if I ever receive my remote, but I've emailed them MANY times over the past week and never received a response. Buyer beware.

Ugh...
