TL is only compatible with Tier 1 and 2 keys (RSX, TSX, 7th Gen Accord, 7th gen Civics)

8th Civics = Tier 6 key

RDX Key = Tier 6 key

The RDX conversion sounds good for DX/LX civics who do not have the power trunk button or w/e it is call. You can still do the RDX conversion on EX and Si but you will lose out on the trunk button.
Okay so let me be clear:
If I have an '08 LX Sedan, I can pick up an RDX keyfob, have the blank cut and transponder programmed by a honda/acura dealer, and program the remote myself using the lock/unlock progression, and then everything will work? and if you have an EX or Si, everything will work except trunk release, b/c no trunk release on the RDX keyfob??

Or do you have to take the RDX key, have it cut, and swap out the internals from the civic key you already have?

How does this differ from the MDX key? Is it the MDX key that works?
