EK1 - Lost keys / Cylinder replacement

[MrED]

So my son has had his EK1 keys stolen and has no spare ... yeah ... tell me about it ...

I see key/cylinders on ebay but how does that work with the RFID chip?

Do I need to get a complete ignition with the chip reader or is there a way to reset the key/chip?

Thanks

option 1
Call a Locksmith. They can cut a key using something like the boot barrel and program the transponder, some might send you to dealer for reprogramming.

Wont be cheap, 1/4 price of the car.

option 2
May not work, take the vin and rego paper work to a Honda dealer and see if they can still sort you out.

Wont be cheap either.

Ek1 not worth much.

You also might have luck finding the same model CAR as a wreck and take its barrel , locks , immob. keys and ECU etc

Thanks ... that's what I was thought might be the case.

Pity as it's a good reliable car. :-(

What year and model is this car?

/confused. .

Just wondering if my car is the same? Just need to set my mind at ease. .

96 ek1gl

Will be best/cheapest to replace all locks, ignition barrel & ecu.

So does anyone know if Pick 'n Payless keep the keys to cars out for wrecking where I could get ECU, Ign block and barrel ... and a key ?

If it holds sentimental value. Fk it, its only money. Spend!

I was never sure if my key has a chip in it,I didn't think it did. Cheers ED mine is August 96 ek1 sedan.

I've replaced the ignition barrel years ago, $140 part . Just a direct swap over. .


Anyone know if my key has a chip,it looks basic,like it doesn't.
