Many Key Programming Tools will work with Honda/Acura most of the time
Each time programming is run, all key memory is erased.
- For Type 1 you need to have all keys present.
Security Light
- Blinks ⇢ keys not accepted
- Goes out but comes back ⇢ component mismatch
Keys with letters
- Original key that have a letter on a blade must be replaced with the key that has exactly the same letter
- T5 stamped on the blade means that the key is for cloning, not programming

I. Need both Red (learning key) and Black (master key) keys
- If using MVP, don’t put the Red key into ignition unless prompted by the scanner, otherwise the Immobilizer will need to be reprogrammed again.
- All keys must be present for key programming or they will be erased during the programming procedure.
  - If you have 1 or more existing keys and wish to program additional new keys, the existing keys will become new again, to the vehicle, during the programming procedure and must programmed with the other keys.
II. If both keys are not available
- Option 1. Replace immobilizer computer
  - New IMMO box come with Red and Black keys.
  - Note. IMMO Box & PCM are matched
- Option 2. Use Transponder Key Programmers
