Spare key replacement.
Never had to replace a key with unlocking/locking remote so I wouldn’t know where to start.
Just trying to get a spare key just for an emergency. Any advice on what to do or where to go? Thanks y’all! |
You will need to get a blank:
Key, Immobilizer & Transmitter(Blank) - Honda (35111-SHJ-305) ...then take the key to a locksmith with your existing one to have it cut. Then take the car and new key to your dealer to have the key flashed to your immobilizer system so it will not immobilize the car when you try to start it. This is the expensive part. Ask your dealer. |
You can get a plain steel key made for cheap (guess 10 bucks or less?) that will open the door to get you inside but will not start the engine (because it has no "chip")
We call it a wallet key or emergency key. |

One of my co workers has a son who programs those key remotes maybe that could be a way to save on that. I’ll ask away on Monday |

Programming the key is about $230

Can this be made from VIN number?
There's more to it than just the vin though. |

The thing with this replacement was that the metal part was pretty much what you see in your original key. The rest of it was just a plastic case with the rest of the stuff held together. I say avoid the cheap knock off plastic stuff. ~$100 wasted. Take care of that original! |
I've found out that no local stores can make a duplicate (my key shows signs of wear).
Dealer wants $200 for the key, ACE hardware website says "we support your key", store says no. I may end up swapping lock cores (left to right) as passenger side lock can tolerate even worn key Funny that my ex-neighbor found the way to make a mechanical key (using gang chain or whatever) to unlock the driver's door with minimum damage to the lock! [Criminals can use firearms without restriction while law abiding citizens are facing nightmare after using firearm to defend themselves; getting key made is the same waste of time] |
