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?
The only internal part I can see that needs to be swap is the immobilizer. Then just get the key cut and program,

So the MDX key works, but the trunk release doesn't, and he RDX key works, but keyfob doesnt have a trunk release button at all?

Does the Panic button work on either of these?
MDX = I doubt it. New MDX keys are Tier 5.

RDX= Yes it will work. Just no trunk feature.

Anyone with an 8th gen Accord want to post up their key? I am curious what they look like.
