Acura CL Key Replacement
The Acura CL was produced with several different key systems, including traditional mechanical keys, transponder keys, and remote-entry systems. The correct replacement depends on the production year and trim level. Every replacement key must be accurately cut and, when necessary, electronically programmed before the vehicle will start properly.
Our mobile locksmith service can help drivers who have lost every key, broken a key in the ignition, damaged a remote, or accidentally locked the keys inside the vehicle. Proof of ownership and identification are required before any replacement can be completed.

Duplicate Keys and Programming
Creating a spare Acura CL key while one working key is still available is often the easiest and least expensive solution. A technician can identify the correct key blank, cut the blade, program the transponder when necessary, and verify that all functions operate correctly.
Additional information is available in our guide to duplicate Acura keys.
Ignition Repair and Broken Keys
Worn ignition cylinders, damaged wafers, and broken keys are common problems in older vehicles. If your Acura CL key no longer turns smoothly, the ignition cylinder may need to be repaired or replaced. Broken key fragments should be removed using professional extraction tools to avoid further damage.
Visit our Acura ignition repair page for additional information.
Transponder Key Services
Many Acura CL models use an immobilizer system that communicates with a chip embedded inside the key. Even if the blade fits perfectly, the vehicle may not start unless the electronic information has been programmed correctly.
Our article explaining what a transponder key is provides more information about this technology.
If you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle, read our guide covering what to do if you are locked out of your Acura.
