where to cut keys & reprogram remote for euro in Perth?

[edras]

Hi

I need help to cut a spare key and reprogram the remote for a decent price.

Got quoted about $280 for key & remote + $60 reprogram by the honda dealer.

It's for a CU2.

Any good recommendations?

[praja6]

What 280 for a spare key...Isnt that rip off.....

[MikesVtec]

300 is the standard price for a Jazz recut/program.

Price sounds about what I paid for my Jazz Spare key. I think the dealer might be the only choice

see my post on how to DYI reprogramming the remote

I managed to get a key online. Remote works fine. I need to cut the key later.
Anyone knows if I need to reprogram the transponder chip on the key for the immobilizer?

Try those key joints in shopping centers. They reprogram other keys and garage door buzzers.

[evolution]

I believe you need to reprograme the immobiliser.

One way to confirm is to open up both the new key and your old key and swap the chips. Try to start the car with the new transponder and old key. I beleive the key will turn but no ignition will occur.

[edras]

I tried swapping the chips. car starts then cuts off. immobilizer did not recognize the chip.
I guess the immobilizer chip needs to be programmed.

[edras]

key joints in shopping centers & bunnings cannot cut the blank key I bought on dealextreme for $8 inc. free shipping

I will try specialized locksmiths & ask the dealer.

Some locksmith websites say they just need to read the frequency code on the working remote & use that to program the new remote.
Hopefully it's that simple & no need to reprogram the immobilizer.

If you are in the city, try this guy

http://www.carilloncity.com.au/DesktopModules/StoreDirectory/ViewStoreDetail.aspx?StoreID=159

I got him to cut the key for my Odyssey when I was toying with the flip key mod. It worked well and manged to open my car doors and ignition, plus I think he only charged my $10~$15

Nigel's Shoe Repairs ? Think you need to fix the link buddy, lol.

[evolution]

lol, the link is correct..

The guy obviously doesn't do remote re-programing, but he does cut keys.

thanks

My 2c worth on my experience with keys.

I was quoted over $300 from a dealer to get a spare key for my CL9. What I am doing is getting a blank key online. Got one for around $8 including shipping.
Got an old key from ebay to reprogram the remote. Turned out the immobiliser chip wasn't right so ordered a couple of chips. My CL9 uses ID48 chips. Not sure what the CU2 uses. Maybe 8E chip?
Dealer said they will reprogram the immobiliser for $50 so once I get my blank keys I will get them reprogrammed. In all, it will cost me around $100 to get a working set. If it all works. Fingers crossed.

Interesting Chinese websites:

http://www.keymam.com/products.asp?Channel=194

An Australian site: http://www.millenniumlocks.com.au/transponder-keys/honda/ - The key blank appears to be made by Silca in Italy; part number Silca T6 (48)

[kksh]

Yeah I bought my chips fromt that website keymam.com. My first blank keys from ebay didn't cut properly so I've ordered a couple of blank keys from them. Hopefully it's not all a waste.

This guy does cut and reprogramming. Located in NSW. He also sells blanks too, might be worth checking out.

Nigel's Shoe Repairs ? Think you need to fix the link buddy, lol.

You'll find most shoe repair places also cut keys, repair watches, engraving and also sell you Zippo lighters. They can't survive by only cutting keys unless they are a locksmith doing callouts to people who are locked out of their house.

my cu2 has this on the remote

FCC MLBHLIK-1T
IC 2500A-HLIK1T

The accord has the same I think. not sure it is the ID48 chip

Sweet! Where do you live again? :p

[edras]

in perth. why?

I believe the CRV has the same

It could be the frequency for operating the remote that's the same for all the newer hondas.
I don't know about the immobilizer chip though

[edras]

Nigel's Shoe Repairs did a good job of cutting my blank key in Perth city. $15

now i need to reprogram the immobilizer transponder chip for that spare key.
I read that they can just read the frequency off the original key to reprogram the new transponder. No need to reprogram the immobilizer unit.
Anyone can confirm whether this is true?
Burswood Honda said they can reprogram for $60 but cannot guarantee it will work because the chip may not be the same?
How can I check the chip ID required for a CU2?

There is A1 locksmiths & Diamond Lock and Key who may be able to reprogram but they also said that they cannot guarantee it will work.
Not sure about the price though.

If you go to a mr minit or something it's around $140. Worth considering if u cbf with the hassles

[julius8605]

called mr mint and he said is around $160 and have to bring key to them to check if they can do it...

going to get it check out on thursday and let yall know.

[julius8605]

checked with mr minit yesterday and they said they dont do honda key...
and say i have to go through dealer...

more info i got from dealer saying that they can provide the key parts uncut and unprogram for $280 and programining service cost $75 and i can do the cutting myself..

im thinking to get the part from ebay (link in my previous post for like $60 shipped)
and try to get it program at dealer...
the dealer willing to try to program it but not gurantee...
if fail i will just get it cut and leave it as it is...

again whoever has a cheaper alternative please let us know...

[curtis265]

If you really can't find one, there's a key cutting place in them iddle of riverton forum that did it for me, $140, 2001 civic (no buttons)

[julius8605]

my car is 04 accord euro and key is with buttons...
thats why they cant do it??...

but i will try the riverton and let you know..

[curtis265]

I hope the buttons dont maake too big a difference

Just a quick follow up,

I got my spare remote from UK ebay seller (requested one that compatible in AUS)
for under $60 shipped.

Got key cut at Nigel Shoe repair for $15

Went to Honda North in Osborne Park for coding the immobiliser and they also program the central locking for $80

all up for $155 for a spare :)

all works perfectly fine but i might have to replace the battery in the new remote as only sometime u have to press 3 or 4 times to works..

Is your car a CL9? I have been having issues trying to get the correct immobiliser key. I have tried ordering the chips as well.

[julius8605]

Yes, my car is cl9 2004 accord euro

Did u order the flip key from this ebay seller?

No, I bought a 2nd hand Accord key from the UK. The remotes were programmable and worked but my key was a V and that key I got was an H so it had a different immobiliser chip.

I researched and found the chip ID to be 8E or something and ordered just the chips from China. Honda weren't able to program those chips. Tried PVR locksmiths in Mascot and found that the chips weren't right so they gave me the "correct" chip although they weren't able to program it and asked me to go back to Honda. Honda weren't able to program the ones given by PVR either.

So I might contact that seller you mentioned order one. Was it a flipkey by the way? You mentioned a UK seller. The link you gave was from the US. Is it the same?

[julius8605]

Yes, i bought the flip key...

Im sure i bought the whole flip key from the ebay seller, the link i just posted today.
Tell him your car: eg 2004 honda accord euro australia spec and there is 'v' on your key

Im not sure about the chip model etc...have not try it that way myself.
What i did was:

1. Buy complete flip key for aus from ebay
2. Get it cut at nigel shoe repair
3. Get honda to program immobiliser into the key and also program the remote control to the door + boot

Finally got around to it. Local Honda dealer didn't want to program the key for me and wanted to sell me the whole key+cutting+programming for $380.

So I got it programmed at PRV locksmiths in Mascot for $88 and I now have two keys. I programmed the remote myself so this ebay seller is a great find!

[badenwilles]

Hey, edras!! I think I might help you with the problem !! :) :) I think you need to Re-Programe the immobilisers. But the thing is how this is to be done ??
Just do one thing try to open up both the keys i.e new key and old key and swap the chips. Try to start the car with the new transponder and old key.
I think this will definitely help you!! :)

[kryptonite]

diggin up an old thread.

wifey lost her keys.

I thinking of grabbing this off ebay:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/151102168894?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

The seller has asked:

- what is the chip ID (of our AUS keys)
- Can you tell me frequency of key. (of our Aus keys)

Does any know this?
