I picked up a 16 EX this weekend that came with just one fob. Stopped by my trusty dealership and it's $330 for the fob and whatever it takes to make it work. I tried searching the forums for info, but it kicked out the words fob and key on me, so I thought I'd ask if there's a better and less expensive way to get a second fob?

 

There are some brands that require dealer reprogramming, but I don't think Honda is one of them, so aftermarket is a strong possibility. In other words, you're not locked into Honda fobs from a Honda dealership.

You might want to try a local locksmith or a small electronics shop as a cost-saving option. I would only use the dealer if I couldn't get it done any other way.

 

Have you tried eBay? https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...ob+EX&_sacat=0
I have a LX, so I don't know what the EX fob looks like.

 

A local place sold us a key for our 2020 LX for $80 including programming. So the local locksmith/key place is the way to go. Just for reference, here's a link to our place - but of course it's local to us:

Chapanar's QuiKEYS - automotive locksmith, auto locksmith, 24 hour locksmith

 

Honda north did a key fob for my 2015 fit ex and program for 124 dollahs, they had a coupon..

I was initially told 240.00

so I felt not bad yes

 

I think $240 is a good deal, even a locksmith can charge the exact amount for key replacement.

 

Locksmith near me got mt those keys fob at the same cost shared above but they have given me one year warranty also.

 

Jeez Louise, I didn't realize the replacement keys on these cars are so cheap!
It's a far cry from the $500CAD price my dad was quotes for a replacement master key for his Volvo S60 from the dealership (only place in Canada/N America that offers them).
