Which Hondas We Cut Keys For
We provide car key replacement and programming services for the following Honda models: CR-V, Civic, HR-V, Ridgeline, Passport, Accord, Prologue, Pilot and Odyssey.
How the Honda Immobilizer Handles a New Key
All Hondas have an immobilizer that recognizes each of the programmed keys in order to start the engine. In some cases, the presence of your old working key is required for programming. It will be much easier and cheaper for you to make a duplicate of your working key at once rather than facing the situation when all your keys got lost. The newer generation CR-Vs, Accords and Pilots usually have proximity smart fobs and push button start.
The Honda Fault That Usually Is Not a Key at All
Not all Honda starting problems require a key replacement and if the security or key indicator lights up on the dashboard or the engine starts but turns off right away, it is probably because of the immobilizer system. Depending on the model and the year, there might be other parts of the vehicle which are responsible for recognizing the key. Our mechanic will first check the system to make sure that the key needs to be replaced, thus saving you money on an unnecessary replacement.
The Emergency Blade and Older Civics
The emergency blade that comes attached to the Honda smart key system can typically be removed and will allow you to open the door of the driver in case of dead batteries. If there is no emergency blade or if the blade has not yet been cut, please consult our technician.The old Hondas like Civic or Accord with traditional transponder keys are usually easier to cut and program than smart key system.
