Great Product
Easy to install, works great and I would recommend this brand to anyone.
They have been the go-to manufacturer for years and every product they make is good.
Thanks,

Did exactly what I needed it to do.
I needed one critical, non-replaceable nut chased out and this did a great job. Thanks

Migrating the immobilizer chip was a surprise and a little more difficult than I imagined
The case is a PERFECT copy of my MDX case it was CLEARLY advertised as a CASE ONLY and the buyer would need to migrate their electronics.
It was almost no problem to open up my key to migrate the door lock/unlock/alarm set functions (and actually interesting and fun for me). Then I had the key cut ($35 quote at three different locksmiths). OK, I can lock and unlock the car, turn on and off the alarm.
Now I go to start the car - the key turns the ignition on, cranks the car and it runs for about ONE second and turns off. A green key icon is flashing on the dash. This is the warning that the immobilizer chip that is inside the key that keeps the car running is missing
OK - to fix this, I now have to use a small bladed jeweler's screwdriver to pop off the cover over the key and flip mechanism, remove three very, very, very small Phillips screws and pull out the key and flip mechanism, use even smaller tools and a razor blade to carefully cut and pry out the immobilizer chip (it is also held in place with an adhesive) and put it into the new flip key shell case.
Once in, the new case and freshly cut key work just like the factory product.
Total cost: this case + $35 for key cutting. Total time: two/three hours.
It was still cheaper than having a locksmith or dealership do the whole replacement and I'm glad I did it and learned something. Is this something the 'average' car owner could take on and complete - maybe (with patience, jeweler's screwdrivers, a razor blade, skill and some frustration).
