Hi, I want to purchase the following key:



Would this key work once it is cut, or is there something else i need to do? If so, can this be done at a dealer or can a key cutter person do it? I notice the key says 'No Transponder'

I have an AUDM 2001 DC2R.

Thanks

 

Pretty sure no transponder just means its not a key fab. Obvious though. Iirc a dealer has to cut it and program the immobilizer

 

You can't run those if you have an immobilizer can you? I was under the impression that they didn't have a chip. I'm actually really sure on this one. I think the only "cool" option is the normal key with a red acura logo.

 

I bought one a while back, don't think there is any chip/immobiliser to worry about. Do the Aus ITRs have an immobiliser? And yeah just get cut anywhere, nothing special

 

Yea, ours does have an immobiliser, well im pretty sure it does as i have the RED spare key which wont wont let me start the engine. So i guess that answers my question? My dash also has a green key light

 

Probably explains why my red spare key wont start the car?

 

Those particular keys (35113-ST7-Z01) are specific to the '97 and '98 Type-R's and as such, have no immobilizer chip in the head. Starting in 2000, Acura introduced the immobilizer function in the ITRs (as well as the other models) and changed the key style to one with an immobilizer chip inside the head. (35113-SY8-A03)
The ITR key pictured above will not work in any 2000 or 2001 vehicle with an immobilizer because there is no chip to communicate with the immobilizer unit in the steering column...
I myself use that key in my '01 Integra but only because my car is K swapped and utilizing K-Pro, which allows me the option of disabling the immobilizer function. I work in the parts department at Pohanka Acura in Chantilly, VA. Hope this helps...

 

Helpful information, thanks heaps!
Well, i am getting S300 soon, is there a similar function in there that disables the immobilizer function? If there is, i guess that means i would be able to purchase the key? Would this make my car anymore prone to theft?

 

IIRC, yes the S300 software has the immobilizer enable/disable function...don't quote me on that though...and yes, obviously your car will be much more prone to theft if your immobilzer is inactive...you can quote me on that...be smart, keep heR safe.

 

Well i guess the key would be nothing but an ornament to me then. Thanks for the info.

 

i bought mine from eBay for around $30 like 1 year ago, u can use it to open the door

I don't understand. Right now I have the black key with white Acura emblem, would this work on my 2001 if I have it cut?

 

Not without modifying your ecu.

 

So would anyone have the part number for the blank ITR key for the 2001?

 

I have the same key which I have yet to cut and program but I also have a s300.

 

Well I found this one I want to purchase and have programmed.

Just sold one of these keys. It's designed for use in a 97-98 USDM ITR with no immobilizer.

You can also use it in 00-01 with different ECU/Software that no longer look for the immobilizer.

If you need a new key, best bet is to hit up the dealership and have one cut/programmed.

 

Is there anyway to verify you will get the red "A" versus a white "A"?

 

The red "A" keys are rare...the only ones we stock anymore have a white "A".

35113-SY8-A03

 

You say rare, now does the one you provided a part number available with a red A or is it a different part number? Or is it the key that I have a link for above?

 

I don't know. It looks as if the one in my link is a little smaller than the black key with the white A. The smaller key may be the only one available with a red A. I've never seen the bigger one with the white A have a red A..

 

Well this is what I have concluded..

For the 2000-2001 ITR (immobilized):

Black key with red "A" 35113-SY8-A01
Gray key 35113-SY8-A02
Black key with white "A" 35113-SY8-A03

The key with the red "A" is smaller than the other two common keys, and the gray key is commonly known as the spare.

The red/black is difficult to find. Most OEM dealer sites redirect you to the black/white key when you search the red/black part number, and say that the black/white key replaces the black/red key. Possibly the black/red key has been discontinued and the part number is just the same now for the black/white key, becauase I have not seen that part number stated as discountined anywhere yet. Perhaps the black/red key is too small for an immobilizer..

 

Dude the red A is just red paint. If you want it that bad just fill in the white A with red paint. Done deal.

 

Dude I know what it is. The point was to find out the availability of it.

If I wanted non authentic **** I'd have bought a GS-R and painted it yellow.

 

Lol!
