Need a new remote/key for FD1

[xenfacta]

Hey all, i lost my key at work on Thursday so down to my spare :(

Honda quoted me 350 to get a new key. does anyone know if i can get it done cheaper elsewhere? apparently theres a transponder in the key that you need to start the car.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

yea there's a transponder on the key remote part of the key. without this the car won't start.

you could try buying a key from ebay:

which'll end up being AU$50-70, and bring it to honda and ask them to cut and program it for you, which should be less than $100.

i'm pretty sure it'll work, but check that the FCCID is the same as your spare.

The key you posted is Accord/ tsx/ euro, it use different FEQ to FD1 (it using separate transponder chip). FD1 & 2 using on-board transponder chip.

I know a guy in melbourne can do it for just $150. But he need your original key to copy & copy the transponder chip. Then you need to program the keyless entry yourself (read the instruction & u can do it in5 mins).

yeah but he's in melbourne..... shiiiiet

I'm pretty sure you can buy any other key from ebay. Don't necessarily have to bring it to honda. Try your nearest mechanic maybe? My mechanic did it for me, just bought the key from ebay and he did the rest at a low cost ;) hope that helps.

which key do you have ? FD1 key?. I asked over 5 locksmith store & they say they can make the key but can not copy the transponder chip of the FD model.

yeah they can cut the key but with out the transponder its useless.

on a positive note, i just got a call from work saying that the customer found my key in their car :D
problem solved.
