^ I wouldn't have thought that those frequncies were captured and transmitted :S

If it works then thats an awesome option if you ever lock your keys in the car.... somehow.

Today I have just completed the two button flip key off ebay on my 07 FD Civichttp://cgi.ebay.com.au/Honda-2-Button-Flip-Key-Conversion-key-shell_W0QQitemZ370049355951QQihZ024QQcategoryZ6763 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I thought this was just a swap and go job, but it is not. I got the key cut at my local locksmith and put it in, and i got a green key symbol flashing on the dash. The car would turn over but would not start. Turns out that where the transponder is located in the new shell, is now too far away from the keyhole to register with the immobiliser.

I has to pull the transponder off the board and add two wires to it and locate it separately further up in the key shell. The scary but is pulling the transponder off the board with pliers because it is superglued to the pcb and then soldering on the additional wires. You need a bit of soldering expertise to pull this off successfully.

Don't believe what the ebay ad says when they say swap module-cut key, more work is required.

yupe, he's right. it's different from Euro. newer Honda have the chip/TS soldered into the PCB. but i prefer not to take off the TS. will void ur remote warranty (it's about $500 cost to replace i guess). so i think, i will customize the flip key housing. anyway, let me finish my current customizing project(s) first, the flip key may be my winter project

FYI. i cut the key cost me $15. someone from QLD cut for only $8.00
i went to key cutter in the mall. http://www.mrminit.com.au/
but price is vary from store to store.
don't go to key cutter in mall : KEYMAN (franchise too), they can't do it.

Updating this thread. just finished mine, but instead of modify the chip, i prefer to modify the flip key shell. move the position of the whole remote closed to the key, so the transponder can reach the system, covered the existing holes, and make the new holes. took me 1 month (not intense) to finished. my last words : NOT worth. better go to type-r red key shell
