Hi all,

Just purchased a used ody 2005 but noticed that:
1. Car lighter butt is missing.
2. Baby car hook/hole in the top rear is not sealed (beige colour). Need the cover.
3. Only have 1 set of keys. need to get a spare (with alarm remote) for backup.

So, wondering if anyone knows where to get these stuff in SYDNEY, Australia , apart from Honda dealer (expensive, especially the key)?

Is it worth to get the spare key outside Honda dealer?
If yes, where would we get it... considering the key needs to have the same signal for the car for the alarm.

Appreciate the help.

1) You can buy a cigarette cover from an electronic store like Tandy/DSE or Jaycars

2) Difficult to find a cover - try the hardware store. Honda will charge you up to $5 for a bit of plastic. Mazda did that to when some plastic covers were removed in the boot and it looked cosmetically ugly.

3) Spare keys (with immobilser chip) but no alarm remote costs about $100 to have it copied and can start the car up. This is without the remote.
If you want the remote, you need to go to Honda, plus you need the key code to the alarm so they can program the remote.
Otherwise, it would be easier to reprogram the car alarm system and have two new keys programmed (one current key and one new key) by Honda.
