DC2R red key

[THRILR]

What is the red key for a dc2r and what does it look like? Stupid question, but is it red?

[iaquinta]

use search function

but quick piece of advice - never start your car with it

[bevis90]

i always thought the red key is to keycut a new one if you lost your OG one

[dupac->]

yeah should be red

only used as template. and yeah dont try to start the car wit it

keep it in a safe place

hahaha

[Mr_will]

what happens if you start the car with it?

[dupac->]

it scrambles the code in the immobiliser unit. and if there's no black keys left (lost black keys) cant re program black keys to the unit.. instead the immob unit needs to be replaced.

[dupac->]

some people can probably get away with it..

keep trying it and ur luck will run out.. hahah

coz my gf lost both black keys to the gli, and conveniently the car was in an underground carpark..

could only use the red key to get off steering lock tp push the car out.. and yeah immob unit needed to be replaced. coz they guy couldnt do it.. said it was prety much farked.

will start one time and one time only. and the time to start is to go to your honda dealer to get your immob replaced and new keys cut. losing a black dc2r is bad enough.. so try not to because it is a special key cut by honda.

i think its about 800 for a new immob and new key

i'm just wondering what if you stall during that one time to start your car?

[lil_miss_vtec]

dont start your car with that key -
big mistake! The key should have a warning on it! I had to get my black keys reprogrammed by honda :( $900
It looks just the same as the black ones but red at the top.... silly idea by honda i think.
