Acura Key Replacement in Gaithersburg: Common Key Types
Acura key designs vary by year and model, so the key that works for one vehicle may not be right for another. Acura vehicles have mostly used chip keys since the late 1990s, and many later models use push-to-start smart keys. We confirm your exact year and model by phone before arranging service.
Here are some common key styles we may discuss. These descriptions are general; they do not mean every style is available for every Acura.
Metal key
A traditional cut metal key turns a mechanical lock. Depending on the vehicle’s configuration, it may be used by itself or alongside a separate remote.
Transponder chip key
This key has a chip that communicates with the vehicle’s security system. The key may need both a cut blade and programming to work with the car.
Remote-head key
A remote-head key combines a cut key blade with remote buttons in the same housing. The specific key and programming needs depend on the Acura’s year and model.
Smart or proximity key and key fob
Many later Acura models use push-to-start smart keys. A proximity key or fob can communicate with the car, while its buttons may operate remote functions; the correct programming depends on the vehicle.
