Mobile Acura key replacement near you
If your MDX or RDX smart key is missing, you don't have to arrange a tow to the dealer. We come to you in Oakland or Macomb County, program a new Acura key at your vehicle and test every function before we leave. Spare keys, lost keys and fobs that have stopped responding are all routine jobs for us.
Acura is Honda's luxury brand, and its keys share a lot with Honda's: older TL and TSX models used remote-head keys, while current MDX, RDX, TLX and Integra models use proximity smart keys with push-button start. The fobs themselves are usually specific to the Acura model and year, so we match the right part before programming it.
Popular Acura models we make keys for
- Acura MDX
- Acura RDX
- Acura TLX
- Acura Integra
- Acura ILX
- Acura TL
- Acura TSX
- Acura RL

Acura keys and fobs we replace
Smart keys (push-button start)
Standard on current Acura models. We program new smart keys on site, add spares, and replace fobs that no longer work.
Remote-head keys
Older TL, TSX, RDX and MDX models often use a key with the remote built into the head. We cut the high-security blade and program both the chip and the buttons.
Hidden emergency key
Acura smart keys hold a small metal key for the driver's door. If yours is missing, we cut a new one to your locks.
Buying an Acura fob online? Check first
Fobs that look identical can have different part numbers and FCC IDs, and a used fob may already be locked to another car. Before you buy, compare the numbers on the back of your current fob or send us your VIN. Or let us supply the key, so you know it is the right one.

Why not the Acura dealer?

|---|---|---|
| Comes to you | No, tow needed if all keys are lost | Yes |
| Appointment | Often days out | 24/7 |

A few of the newest models still require dealer-only programming. Call with your VIN and we'll tell you up front.
Acura key replacement FAQs
Can you replace an Acura smart key if I lost all my keys?
Yes, for most Acura models. We program a new smart key at your vehicle and cut the emergency blade to match your locks. If your model is one of the few that still needs dealer programming, we'll tell you when you call.
Can I buy an Acura key fob online and have you program it?
Sometimes. It must be the correct part for your model and year, and some used fobs can't be reprogrammed to a new car. Send us the numbers on the fob and your VIN before you buy, and we'll tell you if it will work.
Are Acura and Honda keys interchangeable?
They often use similar technology, but the fobs are usually different parts. A Honda fob generally is not the right replacement for an Acura, even when it looks close.
How much does Acura key replacement cost?
It depends on the model, year and key type. A basic Acura transponder key costs less than a push-to-start smart key, and making a spare costs less than replacing every lost key. Call (586) 623-2403 with your year, model and VIN for a firm quote before any work starts.
