This little mod allows you to use the original NSX metal key on a 97+ model.
- remove the panels under the driver side footwell via 2 screws
- remove the knee area panel by removing the 2 screws on the bottom and pull hard on the top. You will need use some force to pull the clips out.
- you'll see this black trim around the key hole area, remove one gold screw on the bottom.
- Pull trim away from the key hole area. This trim is actually the immobilizer antenna.
- Place your original key inside the this trim/antenna, tape it or zip tie it to secure it.
- You'll need to order part number 35105-SLO-A11 which is the clear plastic trim piece on the older nsx's that use to light up.
- Place this new trim piece over the key hole area, you'll need to drill a small hole on the new trim piece to use the original screw you took out. Since this trim piece is clear, it's very simple.
- Screw everything back together and you are all set!
Now i understand this totally defects the purpose of the Immobilizer anti-theft system but I think the Metal key should be the one and only key for my baby!
