It appears like I've lost my wheel lock (key). Has anyone ever had to have one replaced? And if so.. how much did it cost?

There are only a handful or so of different keys, your dealer should have a master kit . My dealer gave me the key from the set since they couldn't find the one that came with my locks (they were on the car but the key was nowhere to be found). I don't know if they will give you a key but they can at least get your locks off and replace them with a new set. They may have extra keys in stock or perhaps they can order the correct one.

Yes, dealer have " master key"

Are the different keys distinctly different? Example - If I take a picture of the lock I have..would my Acura dealership be able to tell which key it is?

I just moved to a different island in the state..and there's no Acura dealership around.

Any suggestions?

The dealer has extra sets of each of the multiple wheel lock keys. I happened to lose mine once, and so I went back to the stealership, and the guy behind the parts counter brought out his collection. We found the right one, and I think I paid around $20 for it. There was no need to buy a whole set.

Yeah I know the dealership has a master set. I just moved from O'ahu to Kaua'i and there's no Acura dealership on Kaua'i. So...if I take a picture of my lock.. would they be able to help me?

I just had my car serviced at the Kaua'i Honda dealership but they didn't touch the wheels because they knew I was going to get new tires installed at Costco soon. So..I called them this afternoon and they said to bring it by in the morning to see if the "honda" master set works.

I called my Acura dealership on O'ahu and ask for my regular service advisor. He said he's not sure what he can do. There's only one master set in Honolulu and he said the "honda" master set won't work.

I figure I'll go down to the Honda dealership just to see. My service advisor in HNL told me, "I'm not sure what else you can do".

To ship my car between islands is about $250. That's the very last option. It would also probably cost more to fly an Acura tech up here with the set of keys since they'll count the "travel" time as labor hours.

A picture of the wheel lock will not do (they have to test fit the wheel lock) because they all look alike. 2nd, when they find out which lock will fit your set, i highly doubt they will have it in stock (they fill out a order form / 2 weeks min for the lock to be sent back). Best option would be go to Honda and have them use their master lock and see if any of them will work. GL

Certainly go to the Honda dealer.

I am guessing you have none of the paperwork that came with the locks? You can get replacement keys from McGard, who make the locks. You might call them and see also.

I'm heading to the honda dealer in a few. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for the advice from all.

The one good thing about being on this island (Kaua'i)...is that for my B16 service.. it costed me $35!!

In Honolulu at Acura.. the B16 service the first time costed me a little over $200.

Although gas is almost over $3.00 a gallon again....
