i know this really isnt important,but when i got my jdm i only got the spare key,ie. just black plastic top on the key.

is it possible to order a new key,the one that has type r on it,or even get another spare just in case anything ever happens to the one i have?

also im wondering would it be best to go through a main dealers or another importers for it?

thanks in advance lads.

 

Any Acura dealership can get the key for you. I believe only 1998 ITRs came with the "special" key though.

What about the '97?

I know the 2000-2001 came with the key with the immobilizer chip in it, so the gray key won't work.

The gray Type R key will work with both 97 & 98 ITRs, but not the 00-01.

 

The 97 & 98 Keys came with the Type R logo, were grey, and had the polished logo. In 99 (in Canada), they came out with the immobilizer, and in 2000-2001 there were immobilizers in all the type R keys.

Hope that helps.

Just curious why is this? The key will physically fit into the key cylinder and interchange. Perhaps you might have it reversed? The gray Type R Key will not work with the 00-01 models because they do not have the transponder chip inside of them.

That's what I meant. You can't use the gray Type R key in 00-01 models because of the lack if immobilizer chip.

I'm sure he's just referring to the fact that:

did you get them replaced and if you did how much was it,if you dont mind me asking?

 

It was cheap, I didn't get the ITR key because to be honest I thought it was fake, just something that the previous woner had gotten made. I got a regular key cut at my dealer for like 5 bucks.

 

is that all....wow i was expecting it to be a hell of alot more.
thanks mate

i'll try to get the type r key but if not just a spare will do nicely.

 

The gray Type R key is the same as the pre-mobilizer key for any other Honda/Acura car.

If your car is pre-'99, you can buy a key and have it cut at any hardware store or locksmith. Most of them carry blank keys for major brands of cars. And yes, it will cost you $5-10.

 

any part number for the key?

 

well i got it sorted today.
went to honda but since the car is a jdm import,they could'nt get me a type r key since the vin is'nt registered here.
so basicly they sent me to a locksmiths in the city center who cut me a new spare for €10.

happy enough with the out come,at least im sorted now in case anything happens to the key the car came with.

thanks again everyone for your help,much appreciated

Fixed.

 

lol i thought that was a fake key too from ebay or something........ ive never actually had one..... ive owned my car for 2.5 yrs and ive only had 2 black keys with red letters

maybe if i feel like spending a couple dollars ill get a real typeR key

 

The fake ones on ebay are 99.99% identical to the authentic JDM keys, as i have an original JDM key and bought an ebay one for $12 and there is no difference in them.

Original key is on top and un-cut ebay key at bottom

 

My key looks something like the top key (please excuse the MS paint job ):



It has the same indentation as your key. I think your grey paint just rubbed off, as mine is chipping in a few spots and showing the shiny surface beneath it.

 

might want to edit your key code out of that picture as that is all someone would need to cut a key to open your doors and turn on your ignition.

 

the e-bay ones lads what search words did you use find them?
were they under integra type r or keys?

sorry for being a pain but i still want one

 

Search JDM, keys, itr etc and sift thru the pages and pages of crap until you find it
