acura has to if I'm not mistaken. That's why the keys cost so damn much to replace, they have to reprgram them.

Re: How to program a new keyless remote and key for RSX (edc5wai)
I cannot confirm this below as I have not done it yet. This is a cut & paste from another forum.
Here are the instructions for programming a keyless transmitter.
Storing transmitter codes:
The codes of up to three transmitters can be read into the keyless receiver unit memory. (If a fourth code is stored, the code which was input first will be erased.)
NOTE: It is important to maintain the time limits between the steps. Make sure the doors and the hatch are closed.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
2. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the receiver under the audio unit.
3. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch ON (II).
5. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the receiver under the audio unit.
6. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch OFF.
7. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch ON (II).
8. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the receiver under the audio unit.
9. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch OFF.
10. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch ON (II).
11. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the receiver under the audio unit.
12. YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE HEARD THE SOUND OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS! Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or unlock button again.
13. Within 10 sec., aim any remaining transmitters (up to two additional ones) whose codes you want to store at the receiver, and press the transmitter lock or unlock buttons. Confirm that you can hear the sound of the door lock actuators after each transmitter code is stored.
14. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and pull out the key.
15. Confirm proper operation of the transmitters.
The instructions seem a bit repetitive but they will properly program your keyless transmitter.

Pretty sure this is correct. I did it with a friend's '02 Civic EX a year or so back, worked like a charm, but took a few tries (the timing between events is critical). I believe those were the same instructions.
The key however, that's likely going to require a dealership's tools.
