Flip Key modification.

[longers]

To be honest..i dont think its work it. Purely because the flip key is such bad quality. Both halves are held together by three tiny screws so the edges dont seal properly because the spring pushes it apart

hahahha very true...but you know..at least its something different...
if you're saying what i bought for 80bucks...if that was worth it

HELP!....
i went to the place drezy recommended...great service...too bad they f***ed my key...the key won't go in smoothly and it won't turn once it is in
the only way it will turn is if i had the oem key in there...take it out then
put the flip key in...i was wondering if i could take it to honda.
you guys got any idea?

for some reason they only charged me 35 :S

too much trouble for a flip key now..its pissing me off

I have circled the area where the part should come out of your oem key and go into the flip key, just keep in mind it is not the cover that you need to move there is actually something in there that is quite hard to take out it looks like a magnet when you get it out.

also in regards to not going in smoothly just take it back and ask them to refine the cut as it may just be a little off they should be able to fix it without any issues.

hope this helps you

hey mate.
thanks for your help...but i didnt everything...took out the chip etc..
its pretty stupid...even though they gave me a refund..i still have one f'd up
key that doesn't work...i see that the key is held on by a pin...which i hope
i can use a small nail to hammer out...then go to honda to get a blank...
and tell honda to cut it for me...
some how modify it for it to fit.

so much effort for flip key now ARGGGGGHHH!

[traumatized]

soory it didn't help mate. so does the car just crank but not start?

[longers]

nah i think its just a pure bad job
maybe they used an apprentice on mine and a professional on drezy's
hahaha...it just won't turn...like the key won't fit properly...
it would only work if i insert the oem key...take it out then insert the flip key

[traumatized]

that is very odd indeed, i would take the key to another locksmith and see if they can fix the key it may just need a adjustment. seeing as you have got your money back you might as well give another locksmith a try to see if it can be fixed.

i think it should be able to be fixed as if you put your oem key in then put the flip key in then it turns so it might just be slighty off

i just got my key cut at A A Abott locksmiths at campsie, on beamish st.
44 buks. it works just gotta put the dam chip in now.

[joycetick]

got mine cut at lockmart, $25 except it took them 4 tries to get it right and even after that it was hard to put into the door and wouldnt turn in the ignition. pushing it in and taking it out a few times seems to have helped and it goes in much easier now and turns in the ignition .

only problem now is that the spring pushes the case apart
i was thinking of glueing it together but then i wont be able to replace the remote battery if it dies. any suggestions?
