What's are my opinions to fix 2006 Honda Accord Key?
My 2006 Honda Accord Key broke. Honda is trying to charge me $165 for the key and service… What other opinions do I have besides Honda dealer?
You can buy the part (key with transmitter) on eBay for $15. You can program the remote functions yourself. You will still need the dealer to cut the key and program the immobilizer. For that, I'm sure they will be willing to overcharge you, but it should be a lot less than what you were first quoted. A good locksmith might be able to help as well.
There may not be many other options. You could search around online sites like eBay and Amazon for key and remotes and program the remote yourself. If you need a key locksmiths aren't really able to cut a new key like they used to. In older cars. If your key is a all in one key then you'll have to buy it from Honda. This is all because of security reasons. Most newer cars have transmitters in them that the car recognizes and keeps it running. When my key broke on my old car I taped it together and the car would start then immediately shut off because of the security features.
Go on one of these sites, buy the keys and discuss the situation with a locksmith before hand that you have buy some new keys can he cut and program the car? I've done it before at 2011 and was charge $65 for two keys I bought online.

Look at on the back side of your key fob, there's an FCC#, use that number to order the right keys for you car. $165 for key services at dealer is a little 'Stiff' to me. If you have to go with the dealer, make sure shop around and ask them if you can buy your own keys. That will bring the price down due to the high mark up for parts at dealer. HTH
