skitzma8 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Anyone have a rough idea how much a new set of car keys and fobs would cost new from honda, and not forgeting the all important red service key? As I only have a cheep replacement key. The car is a 1996 MA8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 a previous owner of my car got a replacement fob from Honda, and well it was the best part of £300 just for the fob, I should say getting a lock kit from Honda would set you back over £1000 as it would require, ECU, all the lock's (4 of..), 2 black key which are coded, the red master key to code all the other's, and the fob and receiver.I dunno but I think a good lock smith's would be able to cut and code another key but it don't know...

skitzma8 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 The key I have at the moment does have an imobilizer chip built in, but for now I think I'm going to get a copy made and ill swap the locks and ecu over when I buy a VTi to strip down for the B18C4 engine, and all the other goodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
