Civic vtir coupe (2000) and red key

[Entity]

did the 2000 model civic vtir coupe's come with a "red key" like the DC2Rs?

If your talking about the 'Red master key' that you supposedly need to get a spare key cut etc, then I think all Honda's have one...

[Perry]

you suppose to get 2 black spare key and 1 red key which is a master which you not suppose to use unless in a emergency, ii was told once you use the red master key you cant use the other black keys again

[vtc]

Yeah the funny think about this the first time i got my civic i thought the red was just another spare key but the car wouldnt start... i read later on that once you use it yur other keys wont work.. lucky for me though they still did... but yeah your suppose to have one.. unless the prev owner lost it casue you never ever use it

wtf? there's supposed to be a red 'master' key? damn...I never got one - only two keys and I bought my car brand new.. :roll:

i had one with my 98 ek, i never used it though, not exactly sure what it was for....

As Perry said, your supposed to get 2 blacks and a red. Honda will tell you that you need the red key to get another key cut, or else youll have to replace the inbuilt immobiliser system etc etc. which isnt really true.

same here, but i think the dealer that u bought it from has it..

The red master key stays in the black book supplied with the car. - often found in the glovebox

[Civic Si]

I better not lose my two black keys..!

Cause I never got a red key when I bought my EM1 second hand.

It's not very useful if it remains with the dealer!! :P

I just searched thru my 'car file' at home and found something that resembles a key. It's a funny looking thing - it's U-shaped with keys on each end with a ' - ' on it. It's black and I've got no bloody idea what it's used for?! This wouldn't happen to be the 'master' key, would it?! :roll:

i got 2 black and one red for my delsol. the dealer i bought it off said not to use the red key or it will kill the car, but in my brother's 98 civic coupe i always stick the red one in by mistake cuz the red and black key is on the same key ring..haha. the onli thing that happens is the engine light and eveything else goes on besides the engine itself.
