Hi so here are the facts of life as it is a Honda product they have the whole of the details about your cars engine management system. Anything else is never ever going to be as good.
You will need a Honda dealer
Take it to a dealership or licensed locksmith who has a proper key programmer. The cheap key programmers (eBay, etc.) are mostly Chinese made junk that work only with a very limited set of vehicles. The documentation is badly translated and almost impossible to understand. Worse yet, they can actually damage your ECU.
A legitimate key programmer from a reliable manufacturer will set you back well over $1,000, if you can even buy one. Most vendors limit sales to the trade (licensed dealers and locksmiths only) and also require programming tokens to be loaded periodically to reduce the black market value of a lost or stolen programmer.
Your best bet is to go to the dealer with your title and thy can make a new key using their code cutting machine. You'll need to tow the car to them to have the new KEYS programmed to the vehicle. Buy two keys so you don't have this problem again.
For solution
- If one or two ISP's ban a site and raise prices, can a new one rise up and compete? Why? Why not? What about Honda/Toyota? Or ' MCI & Sprint muscling AT&T aside? Anyone remember Nucor Steel? Each of those took advantage of very different situations, each with seemingly impossible odds. Thing is, they were all LEGALLY allowed to compete. How about here?
- Can I trade in an older car for a new one at a dealership? I have a Lexus SC400 1992 in decent condition. I want to trade it for a Honda fit 2015 or something similar. I need to finance the new car with monthly payments so I'm thinking the sc400 will cover most if not all of the down payment. How does this work normally? Do they accept trade ins this old?
- Lost keys - does my car need an ELECTRONIC replacement key if i have a spare? The spare is all metal. There aren't any electronics in it and it can start and drive car. My car is a 2009 or 2010 honda civic.
- I need to replace my 2nd clutch pressure switch on my 1998 Honda Accord EX V6.Can i buy one aftermarket or should i go dealership? I bought one online from ebay and the harness snapped and so i gotta get another one. I'm not sure if the ones online are worth the money and i just would like some answers
