I have an 04 MDX and just bought my wife an 05 Avalon XLS. The issue I have is: Carrying around two remote keyless entry pads and keys is just too much bulk. I know I can leave the remote off and just carry the key, but my question is: Has anyone ever heard of a single keyless entry remote that can be programmed for two different cars? Maybe it has a slide button, like the TV remotes that control two different devices or a set of buttons on each side, I don't know...I have tried searching the internet and it only comes up with alarm systems which is not what I want...I just want the keyless remote entry without having to carry two remotes.
Anyone? |

| I have never heard of one availiable. I expect such an animal is not availiable, especially as the vehicles are made by different manufacturers. |

For Honda automobiles (incl. Acura), when you "program the remote", you are actually programming the car to match the signal that the remote transmits. If you had two Honda-made cars, you could program them to take the same remotes, but I doubt if it would work between Honda and Toyota. It shouldn't hurt to try, however. For Hondas, IIRC, during the programming process, you must program all three remotes in sequence -- I'm not sure you can do just one. Do a SEARCH on "programming remotes" or similar phrasing in this forum to get Honda/Acura programming details.
Good luck! (And remember, with identical programming, when both cars are parked "together", if you unlock one, you unlock both -- are you sure you want that to happen?) |

I have my TL and MDX programmed to the same remote and it's not a problem at all since it re-lock itself if the door are not opened. |
