Having trouble with your 05 Acura Tl Key Fob? Reprogramming your key fob can often resolve issues and restore remote access to your vehicle. As an auto repair specialist at keyfobx.com, I’ll walk you through the process to reprogram your 2005 Acura TL key fob quickly and easily. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to get your remote working again.
To begin the programming sequence for your 05 Acura TL key fob, ensure all doors are closed, along with the hood and trunk lid. It’s crucial to maintain the correct timing between each step for successful programming.
-
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (II).
-
Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the Lock or Unlock button on your key fob. Aim the transmitter towards the keyless receiver unit, located behind the driver’s side dashboard.
-
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position within 1 to 4 seconds.
-
Again, within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch back to the ON position (II).
-
Press the Lock or Unlock button on the key fob within 1 to 4 seconds, again aiming at the receiver.

Turn the ignition switch OFF within 1 to 4 seconds.

Turn the ignition switch ON (II) within 1 to 4 seconds.

Press the key fob button within 1 to 4 seconds, pointing towards the receiver.

Turn the ignition switch OFF within 1 to 4 seconds.

Turn the ignition switch ON (II) within 1 to 4 seconds for the final time in this sequence.
-
Press the transmitter button one last time within 1 to 4 seconds, aiming at the keyless receiver.
-
Listen for the sound of the door lock actuators. Within 1 to 4 seconds of hearing the actuators, press the Lock or Unlock button on the key fob once more. This confirmation step is essential to store the code properly.
-
If you have additional key fobs to program (up to two more), you have 10 seconds to program them. Aim each additional transmitter at the keyless receiver and press the Lock or Unlock button. You should hear the door lock actuators confirm each successful programming.

Finally, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the key.

Test all programmed key fobs to ensure they are functioning correctly, locking and unlocking your 2005 Acura TL.

Important Notes:
- Timing is critical during this process. Ensure you adhere to the 1 to 4 second intervals between steps.
- Once you enter programming mode, you must press the remote button a second time in step 12 to finalize the process.
- If the button is not pressed in step 12, or if the ignition switch is turned OFF prematurely, the programming for all remotes will be cancelled, and you will need to start again.
By following these instructions, you should successfully reprogram your 05 Acura TL key fob and regain full remote functionality. If you continue to experience issues, there may be other underlying problems with your key fob or vehicle’s receiver system that require further diagnosis.
