BiMU Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi guys, Hope someone can advise. I have only one key and one remote fob. Just wondering where's the best place to get a new key (does it have some kind transmitter inside?) and a replacement key fob. I've read somewhere that I may need to get new remotes as well as the IR receiver where the interior lights are? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Uh oh .... lol I think that the only way to have new keys done is to have them programmed at Honda .. Which is mega .. Not sure if someone else knows any diff? They have a funky little transmitter in for the immobilizer .. The Fob, you can change both the fob & the IR receiver, I've literally just done mine, works perfect .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 A local auto lock smith in Nottingham (http://www.3dgroupuk.com/) did manage to copy my black key and have it start the car. But unless there's somewhere like that where you are I'm afraid it's a case of a dry session from Honda unless there's a scrap vehicle with the red key available, transponder box, ignition barrel and locks. Fobs are just paired with the IR receiver where the interior light is. But some members have just fitted a HAWK central locking kit to replace the fob.

BiMU Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Ouch! Looks like I need to give Honda a call... dang it. I've looked into the Hawk and it does look like a nice piece of kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 The hawk does the job, am finding its a little tempremental at the moment though, doesn't work from certain angles?? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I had a spare key cut using my black key at timpsons, only about a tenner, as for the remote central locking, you'd be better off putting an aftermarket one in, I have an invoice some where from Honda several years ago for a remote fob, best part of 400 quid...
