KAWIHEN Keyless Entry Remote Shell for Acura TL ILX RDX ZDX M3N5WY8145 KR5434760 — Empty Case Replacement, No Electronics

A replacement KAWIHEN key fob shell crafted to house your original Acura remote electronics (M3N5WY8145 / KR5434760) — this listing is for the empty case only.

If your Acura key fob is cracked, worn, or missing buttons, swapping the outer shell is an affordable way to restore appearance and function without replacing the internal electronics. This KAWIHEN shell is molded to accept the original circuit board, transponder chip and battery from compatible Acura models, giving you a like-new remote look while keeping the factory electronics intact. Note: the product contains no electronics, battery or transponder.

How do I know this case fits my Acura remote?

Confirm compatibility by checking the part numbers on your original remote — the shell fits remotes labelled M3N5WY8145 or KR5434760 used on select Acura models. The listing explicitly supports Acura TL (2009–2014), ILX (2013–2014), RDX (2010–2015) and ZDX (2010–2013).

• Match the printed number on your old remote to M3N5WY8145 or KR5434760.
• Verify your vehicle model and year: TL, ILX, RDX, ZDX within listed ranges.
• If unsure, remove the circuit board and compare physical shape before buying.

What exactly is included and what’s missing?

This purchase contains only the empty outer key fob shell; it does not include any electronics, the transponder chip, or a battery. You must transfer the circuit board, chip and battery from your existing remote into this new shell to restore full operation.

• Included: one KAWIHEN replacement remote shell (no logo on back).
• Not included: circuit board, transponder chip, battery or key blade.
• Keep your original components and move them into the new case.

How hard is it to install the replacement shell?

Installation is straightforward and typically requires only simple tools and careful handling of the original electronics. Gently open your old fob, remove the circuit board, battery and chip, place them inside the new shell, and snap it closed — no programming is necessary since the original transponder remains unchanged.

• Use a small flat screwdriver or pry tool to open the old case along the seam.
• Transfer the circuit board, transponder chip and battery into the KAWIHEN shell.
• Ensure buttons align and the case snaps securely to prevent moisture ingress.

Are there any cosmetic or branding differences to expect?

The KAWIHEN shell is manufactured without a trademark or logo on the back; this provides a clean appearance but may differ from your factory key’s branding. If the absence of a logo concerns you, consider that the functional fit and button positions match the original for full usability.

• No logo on the back—deliberately unbranded finish.
• Button layout and port openings mirror the factory shell for easy transfer.
• Durable plastic designed to resist everyday wear and scuffs.

Who is this for? This KAWIHEN replacement shell is ideal for Acura owners whose remote housing is broken, scratched, or water-damaged but whose internal electronics still work. It’s a cost-effective choice for do-it-yourselfers, locksmiths, or repair shops that want to refresh a worn key fob without buying expensive OEM electronics. If you need a complete remote with electronics or a new transponder, look for a full programming-capable unit instead.
