Whichever yours is, DFW Keys 4 Cars cuts and programs it at your location, 24/7: spare keys, lost-everything replacements, fob programming, and lockouts. Call (214) 717-6398.


About TSX Keys

The table below is our verified key reference for the Acura TSX — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer family each generation uses. Generations overlap at boundary years, so we always confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.

Security System & Immobilizer

Acura runs Honda’s immobilizer architecture — ID46-era transponders through current Smart Entry proximity fobs — with the same on-site programming paths.

On the TSX specifically, the immobilizer families we see are: Philips ID46 (Hitag2). A key that is cut correctly but not programmed to this system will turn the locks and never start the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Acura TSX Key FAQ

I lost the only key to my TSX. 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 — this is our most common TSX call.

Will a hardware-store copy start my TSX?

It will open the doors and nothing else on transponder-era cars — the chip inside the key must be programmed to the immobilizer, which is the part we do curbside.

How fast can you reach my TSX in DFW?

We dispatch the nearest mobile unit across the whole metroplex, 24/7. Call (214) 717-6398 with your location and we’ll give you an honest ETA.
