Quick answers for Acura Integra key replacement
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Typical cost | Industry-typical: ranges vary widely by year and key type (some scenarios are quoted by VIN). For this page’s common mobile key-work scenarios, many totals land in the $120-$450 range once cutting, programming (when needed), and service logistics are included. Exact price is confirmed at dispatch. |
| Programming required? | Sometimes. Some 1994-2001 keys may support onboard add-a-key, while 2022+ smart keys are typically paired via OBD. Your exact Integra configuration is confirmed before work begins. |
| All keys lost? | Often yes. After ID and proof of ownership are confirmed, a locksmith can originate a new key and enroll it if an immobilizer/smart key system is present. |
| Online fob accepted? | Sometimes. Customer-supplied remotes/fobs can be incompatible, previously locked, or unreliable, so compatibility is checked before any work proceeds. |
| What to prepare | Vehicle year, your location, a government ID, proof of ownership/authorization, and whether you have any working key/remote. |

Model-specific key system context for the Acura Integra
Integra key setups can differ by year band, trim, and market (U.S. vs Canada). Many classic Integras use a mechanical edge-cut key, while some 1994-2001 vehicles may use an immobilizer-style transponder key. Newer Integras (2022-present) commonly use a smart key system with push-button start, which changes both programming method and parts compatibility.
Key and lock anatomy on the Integra
Ignition cylinder
The mechanical cylinder in the steering column area; wear here can cause sticking or a key that won’t turn.
Door locks
Keyed entry points that should match a correctly cut key; worn wafers can make old keys feel “loose.”
Trunk lock
May be used for manual access when power locks fail or the vehicle battery is depleted.
Steering column lock
Can bind when the wheel is loaded; this can feel like a “frozen key” situation.
Key blade
The cut metal portion; a fresh cut often restores smooth operation compared to a worn copy.
Lock actuators
On power-lock vehicles, actuators drive lock/unlock. A bad actuator can look like a key/remote problem.
Decision points before you buy a key or fob
Dealer, mobile locksmith, online fob, or DIY?
| Option | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Acura dealership | OEM parts and dealer records | Towing, appointments, higher total cost |
| Mobile locksmith | Lost keys, spare keys, no-tow situations | Requires ID, ownership proof, compatible parts |
| Online fob | Possible savings when exact part is known | Used/refurbished fobs may be locked or incompatible |
| DIY programming | Add-a-key for older mechanical/transponder | Not suitable for all-keys-lost or modern Smart Key |
Aftermarket vs OEM parts for Integra keys
Aftermarket shells and remotes can work, but compatibility varies by FCC ID/chip type and whether the part has been previously paired. If you bring your own fob, the technician checks whether it’s the right type before attempting programming.
Dead fob battery vs dead vehicle battery
On push-to-start Integras, a weak fob battery and a weak 12V vehicle battery can look similar. Confirming voltage and fob health first prevents unnecessary parts replacement.
Compatibility by year for Acura Integra keys (typical)
| Years (context) | Key system (typical) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1986-1993 (classic) | Mechanical edge-cut key (no chip) | Common on early vehicles; remote entry (if equipped) is usually separate from the metal key. |
| 1994-2001 (classic, some trims) | Remote key system (typical) | Programming method varies by exact configuration. Reported examples include chip A269ZUA108 with onboard add-a-key and onboard all-keys-lost in some cases; confirmed for your vehicle during service. |
| 1994-2001 (classic, some trims) | Transponder / immobilizer key (typical) | Reported examples include Honda/Acura 5G IMMO (Megamos ID13), transponder chip ID13, FCC ID HON58R. Add-a-key may be onboard on some vehicles; all-keys-lost may be dealer-only on others; confirmed for your vehicle during service. |
| 2022-present (modern) | Smart key system / push-to-start (typical) | OBD pairing is typical for both spare and all-keys-lost scenarios. Reported examples include chip 4A and FCC IDs KR5BTP and KR5TP-2. |
Pricing for Acura Integra key work
Integra pricing is driven by the year band (classic vs 2022+), whether the vehicle needs immobilizer enrollment, and whether the job is a simple spare key or an all-keys-lost situation. Parts selection also matters: a basic metal key is different from a remote-head key, and both are different from a 2022+ smart key.
Industry-typical price ranges (dealer vs mobile locksmith): exact price is confirmed at dispatch, and Canadian customers pay the equivalent in CAD.
- Metal key (all keys lost): dealer $45-$50; mobile locksmith around $50
- Metal key (spare): dealer $45-$50; mobile locksmith quoted by VIN
- Remote key (all keys lost): dealer quoted by VIN; mobile locksmith quoted by VIN
- Remote key (spare): dealer around $320; mobile locksmith around $430
- Smart key (all keys lost): dealer quoted by VIN; mobile locksmith quoted by VIN
- Smart key (spare): dealer $95-$171; mobile locksmith quoted by VIN
- Transponder key (all keys lost): dealer quoted by VIN; mobile locksmith quoted by VIN
- Transponder key (spare): dealer quoted by VIN; mobile locksmith around $220
| Factor | Cost impact |
|---|---|
| Spare key with one working key | Usually lower because the vehicle can often accept an additional key with less setup. |
| All keys lost | Usually higher because key origination and security setup can take more steps. |
| Smart key / push-to-start (2022+) | Usually higher due to smart key parts cost and OBD enrollment requirements. |
| Customer-supplied fob | Depends on compatibility; used or incorrect fobs can prevent programming. |
| Emergency timing or remote location | May affect the service call cost depending on travel and scheduling. |
| Vehicle-side issue (battery, ignition) | May require diagnosis before key work can be completed. |
Final pricing is confirmed after the vehicle year, key type, location, authorization, and compatibility are reviewed.
All keys lost
After authorization is confirmed, a replacement key can be originated and enrolled if your Integra uses a transponder or smart key system.
Key turns, won’t start
Often points to an immobilizer/transponder mismatch (if equipped) or a worn mechanical key that no longer reads the ignition cleanly.
Fob works, engine doesn’t
Remote lock/unlock can still work even when the immobilizer/smart key side isn’t paired or recognized.
Push-to-start not detecting
On 2022+ Integras, a weak fob battery, low vehicle 12V battery, or incompatible fob can prevent start authorization.
Online key uncertainty
Integra remotes and smart keys can look identical but differ by chip/FCC ID; compatibility is checked before programming.
“Key not detected” diagnostic
For push-to-start Integras, the first checks are fob battery, vehicle 12V battery, correct fob type, and whether the start system is seeing the signal.
Hard stop: no authorization
If ID and ownership/authorization can’t be confirmed, service is refused.

✅ What this service includes
- Key type identification for your Integra (metal, transponder, remote, or smart key)
- Cutting a replacement key to match your locks/ignition when applicable
- Programming/pairing when your Integra requires enrollment
- Function testing on the vehicle (start, locks, remote functions when equipped)
- Upfront approval: final quote confirmed before work begins
❌ What this service does NOT include
- Work without confirmed ID and ownership/authorization
- Guaranteeing compatibility of unknown online/used remotes

A simple, documented workflow
1
Verify vehicle and authorization
Confirm identity and ownership/authorization requirements applicable to your state or province.
2
Identify key type and compatibility
Determine whether your Integra uses a metal key, transponder (ex: ID13), remote, or 2022+ smart key system.
3
Cut and enroll the key
Cut the blade as needed, then enroll via onboard steps (some classic models) or pair through OBD for 2022+ Acura/Honda smart key immobilizer systems.
4
Confirm and document
Test start/locks/remote functions and document results before closeout.
1. Verify vehicle and authorization
ID and proof of ownership/authorization are reviewed before service. Requirements vary across the USA and Canada (state-to-state and province-to-province).
2. Identify key type and compatibility
The technician confirms the key system and whether programming is required, including whether the part in hand matches the correct chip/FCC ID family for your Integra.
3. Cut and enroll the key
Keys are cut to operate the locks/ignition as applicable. If enrollment is required, the key is added via the supported method (onboard steps on some classic systems; OBD pairing on 2022+ smart key systems).
4. Confirm and document
Start authorization, door/trunk operation, and any remote functions are tested on the vehicle, then results are documented.

Six ways to lower total cost
Make a spare before you’re at zero
A spare key is often simpler than an all-keys-lost recovery, especially if your Integra uses a transponder or smart key system.
Confirm push-to-start vs turn-key
2022+ Integras commonly use smart keys; older Integras are usually turn-key. The parts and programming path differ.
Avoid unknown aftermarket parts
If you buy online, match the correct FCC ID/chip family first. A mismatched or used-locked fob can add cost through failed attempts.
Have the vehicle accessible
Unlock access to the vehicle, trunk, and ignition area when possible so cutting and testing can be completed in one visit.
Stabilize vehicle voltage
Low 12V voltage can cause programming failures on modern smart key systems and can also affect classic vehicles during diagnostics.
Schedule non-emergency when possible
If you’re not locked out, scheduling can reduce service-call variables, especially in remote areas of the USA or Canada.
