just bring it to a locksmith that does wave keys such as our Fit. it is much more convienience if you use your own vehicle key than the key it comes with. But this only work with the OEM Honda Gas cap.

oh yeah. you could bring it to your dealer to get it rekey, but the labour rate on that is probably more than a locksmith.

Great idea. The second key is the worst part of a locking gas cap.

how exactly does that work - you bring in the keyhole to the locksmith... then what do they do to it?

That is a great idea. I think I'm going to get that done with my car.

It is the same wave key type. But different cut face design to it.

Can't you just insert the key, unlock it, remove key and then remove the gas cap without the key inserted?

So you get the lock itself on the cap changed? How much would that cost? Seems... new to me.
