Hi guys, i need some advice..
I have a 96 Honda Civic and my key has lost the rubber protector bit surrounding the imobilizer chip. Is it possible to get this replaced?
Has this happened to anyone else?? thanks in advance

unfortunately the rubber bit cannot be replaced on its own... youll need to have a new key issued :(

about a $100 including everything from your honda dealer.

The price includes

1. key
2. cutting
3. programming of ECU chip
