Can you duplicate a car key?
I want to get a spare key for my 2005 Honda Odyssey. I'm a bit paranoid, and I wouldn t want anyone who got the key to be able to steal the car (aka my kids). All the new cars, including mine have these chips in the keys so even if you copied the key it wouldn t start the car without being programmed. Honestly, my biggest problem is locking my keys in the car. I was thinking if I copied a key without copying the data on the key, could I make a key that would open the mechanical lock on the driver s door but couldn t start the car? If I say took the key to home depot, could this work?
Yes that would work.
The answer to your question is a decided YES. I tow my Jeep and have to have a key in the ignition to unlock the steering. Jeep made me a key with no chip and it works fine. It will start the engine but as soon as the transmission is put in gear it dies. As to locking your keys in the car there's a simpler solution. Just develop the habit of ALWAYS using the key to lock the door. If you have electric locks the button on the key is what sets the alarm mode. If you merely push the lock button and slam the door the alarm is NOT enabled.
It would best try a locksmith. A hardware store will not likely have the flat blanks and method of cutting them. May charge you like $40 of it though.
Yes. It can open the door but it will not start the car.

- Did you know that Philippines is so poor that if you own a car people will think you're rich? I live in the Philippines and I own a 2013 Honda Fit and I sometimes drive it when I go to the University, it's not even expensive. And my friends think I'm rich. Most people here only use underbone motorcycles for transportation, most families don't even own a car.
- My friends keep messing around with my car. They keep moving it with another Honda key, even though I have my key on me? They are still able to move it. I wanted to know if anyone can help me locate the fuel pump relay on my car. I've looked everywhere online and I can't find it please help, I need to do that in the meantime, I plan on installing a kill switch soon 2000 Honda Civic DX
