getting a new key for a ek

when i bought a ek, the seller gave me 3 keys, one red master key which had no so called 'chip' according to the seller, in it, which can only unlock the car but cant ignite the car due to no chip, a key i think was the genuine honda key which had the whole black honda plastic ripped off so it was just the metal part (also no chip due to broken plastic part) and a black key which im guessing was the spare with the key numbers on it. i want to copy that coz i only have one key that can start the car and the others can only unlock. will honda still be able to do it considering its a old car('96 model)? would they need the chip thingy?

yeah they can still do it, they will also duplicate the key program or whatever you want to call it

nice.. do u noe how much it roughly costs? couple of hundred maybe?

my boss lost a key to a em1 cost 400bux to get it cut and program from honda

PREDDY'S Locksmiths down south in 522 Kingsway Miranda NSW 2228, 9525 4644. He charged ard $90.00(supplied,cut and programmed the new key).

yeah its around 90 bucks liverpool westfields near jb hi fi 89.95 supply cut and programmed

90 bucks but not a genuine honda one though right?

nope not genuine honda.

i dont think to cut and programme a key is $400.. at honda.. should be aroun $130ish markt rhough honda.

u would only pay around $500 mark is when u lose all of ur keys..!

lol it will only cost 400 + if its like crvs with the remote on the key

At some key cut places (Mr Minit - VIC) do it for around 75bux

Of course not geuine key, but does the job.

I got it done.

Piss easy.

Theres a place in Cabra that can duplicate Honda keys with chip, for approx $65. Non genuine of course.

hey man, you know where abouts in cabra that does the key

0419436389

thats perfect locksmiths. call him he's around the area.

he'll either come to you or he'll give you his address..

around $90 for a non genuine honda key.

$200 at my dealer for 2 keys, programmed and supplied, for an EJ8, EM1 has a diff key, slightly longer than normal EKs

I personally wouldn't be having any one else make your keys unless it's a Honda dealer

i got quoted $180 for 1 supplied and cut lol....bloody rip job

from memory the programming was the most expensive of the lot at $98

back to the original post,

if you have your red key and 1 black key go to honda, a new genuine blank is $50, and they sould only charge $40 or $50 to program it.

nice. Would peter warren Honda at warrick farm be alright?

I got a key done for my 00 EK all of it for about $150 supplied cut programmed

anyone know anywhere in vic to get a genuine blank key and programed i went to yarra honda they told me i needed to have the red anb blue key or somthing to have it done ..

you need 1 original black key and your red key

if you have lost your red key the it will cost shit loads at a dealer to get another black key

dam looks like i have to get a fakie they still do the same job?

can't as it has the immob chip... otherwise he wouldve gone to minute key blokes...

Oh how I have tried to get a fake one, lol

next month I will fork over the doh for new ones as red electrical tape isn't doing justice, lol

the red key doesnt have a chip in it, only your black ones do.

the red key is just to keep the cut perfect so when theyre remaking your key theyre not basing it off a tired and wore down key.

use heatshrink ryan, i am :p

though i do need to make a spare, only got one key with my ek back when i bought it in 05

when you blokes get the keys made and programmed, how long does it take?

this is wrong

the red key does have a Transponder in it as well.

if you have lost your red key I can program new genuine Honda Black keys into the system if you realy need it with out the red key. I can also program a black to act as the lost red key for normal future programming at a dealer.

yeah but your not in sydney rem ECUMAN? otherwise i would have got alot cut already LOL.

yeah I know.

its not hard to overnight express :)

How can you program the keys ? You got the honda scan tool? The way it works on hyundai's you need the car there, cant just program the key, otherwise the transponder wont know which immobiliser antenna to disarm etc?

All I need is the immo control unit, ecu and all keys to be used and I program and test them on the bench.

When I got my 96 Civic key cut, I took it to my local locksmith (Buffalo locksmith in Ryde) and they put the key in a scanning machine which read the immobiliser code, then they placed the new one in to copy the code over, all done.

Was alot cheaper too than Honda, and because I did not get the red key, Honda wanted to fit a new immobiliser system
