About RL Keys
Verified key reference for the Acura RL — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer each generation uses. Boundary years can overlap; we confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.
| Model / Generation | Years | Key Type | Transponder / Immobilizer | Blade / FCC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RL | 1996–2004 | Transponder | Megamos ID13 | older Honda keyway |
| RL | 2005–2012 | Smart key (Keyless Access proximity) | Philips ID46 (Hitag2) | HON66 |
Security System & Immobilizer
Acura runs Honda’s immobilizer architecture — ID46-era transponders through current Smart Entry proximity fobs.
On the RL specifically we see: Megamos ID13, Philips ID46 (Hitag2). A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.
Which key does your year have?
- 1996–2004: Transponder — Megamos ID13 (older Honda keyway)
- 2005–2012: Smart key (Keyless Access proximity) — Philips ID46 (Hitag2) (HON66)

Acura RL Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my RL. What now?
We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site — no tow, no dealer wait.
My RL is push-to-start — can you program that outside the dealer?
Yes. Late models (2005–2012) use a proximity smart key on Philips ID46 (Hitag2) — we carry the fobs and the programmer, and we cut the emergency blade.
