Hey did you get the key back? Did it work?
I have Ek1 (late95), reckon it will work for me?

i bought Honda black key, got it cut so cant get refund..
If i put the transponder from old key on ignition ring a NON-OEM key starts car, but not the Honda one. Must scramble signal maybe? Anyway could i try to 'rip out' the chip inside the honda key? cant do much else with it.
thanks ECU-MAN in advance!

my key is on order atm,
u shud b able to keep both keys.

the place i went has a machine that will program the transponder to the same as ur original black key i fink that wot he sed.
still waiting atm

thanks limbo...just called them and its $88 each key and can be done....looks like i will be there very soon...

lets go a group buy on spare keys??? HAHAHAHA u never know what discount we can get :)

Sweet! Astro, another guy was saying there's a guy in cabra that can do it too.

but 88bux is not to bad!

i jus piked myn up today
$74.95

works fine.

i heard a rumour that you can have a blank key cut and successfully bypass the ultrasonics sensors by doing a few simple tricks with the ignition. Reason being the sensor will re-educate itself to the new ultrasonics to the new key after 8-10 attempts :confused:
Only takes 30 seconds he said.

Anyone else heard of this ?

i heard of this too.. but its not just a regular cut key, laser cut i think..

just to let you guys know that i went to Buffalo Lock and Key on saturday and i was in and out in 2 mins...and got my spare key for $88.00. works fine and the spare key looks exactly like the OEM Honda key just without the H badge on the key....

very happy chap.

PS. They cant do all Honda's, only most models...Eg: the salesman told me that a guy came in with a 2000 model CRV and he couldnt do it as he does not have all the software on all Honda's.

just something for you guys to know if u dont drive a civic.

This might be reviving an old thread, but...

I have just bought a DC2R 2000ym, and need a spare key done, after reading this, would explain why the red key i have doesnt do anything..

Can I buy a red key anywhere that can be programmed to work? I like the red key to match the badges haha

Where is the best place to get keys from these days?
Cheers

I doubt if this can be done. Still, go to a locksmith, key cutting places like Mr Minit can do these types of things.
