streaky Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hi all, not really a specific forum for this but it's about as close as I can get! My Aerodeck (Vti) came with 2 honda keys and the all important red key. However, Mrs Streaky managed to somehow bend our "main" key in the drivers lock! We managed to have a local fella get it flat again but obviously this will have put fatigue on the metal. Now somehow, Mrs Streaky managed to since lose the spare key! Meaning we have a only ONE weakened key and a potential timebomb on our hands with a car that we might not be able to get into or start! Having trawled the local cobblers/key cutters they have all said they cannot get hold of the suitable blank to get a new key cut. I don't see why they couldn't literally just do a "blank" key so at least we can open the doors with it, even if it will not start the car.Now the main issue with a replacement key is the transponder, which I imagine is linked to the ECU in order to prevent the car being started without the key. I don;t knwo for sure but I don't think it is linked to the central locking. The best of the local key cutters has said he can do me a copy IF i can provide him with the correct Honda spare. So I guess my question is... has anyone got any blanks or can they point me in the right direction? I'm in the process of being made redundant so not paying the £100+ Honda will charge us for a new one! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesyMB6 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Have you rang a local Honda Dealer? Or PM John Banks and see what they can do for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrob9999 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 That gay. I went into my local key cutters called timpsons down here in Devon and they cut me a key from a blank off of my bent key and managed to get the code out of the black key and put a new chip in it and had worked fine I would of thought all key cutting places would have this by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streaky Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Update...TIMPSONS are most definitely the place to go for replacement MB/MC keys. As "CrazyRob9999" pointed out £25 cut and coded. Thanks for the help chaps - hopefully this helps someone else out in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
