NIKH25 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Do not start your car with the red key it will wipe your ecu, immobiliser etc. New keys are programmed from the red one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB3Matt Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Ah, so if they ask me to do that I must refuse... I hope timpsons can do it, because they quoted me between 30 and 50. Where's Honda want 57 just for the programming of the key.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 they Should be able to do it. My local car factors panjetani does them. He has a little machine he puts the red key in, and it reads the transponder. He then transfers that data to the new blank transponder. Obviously cuts the blade also.He charges £25 for a Honda key. So I guess £30 is fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB3Matt Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Timpsons sais if they copy from the red key, it will just reset the ecu like the red one, as its just a copy... I don't wanna spend a fortune on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I think you need to find someone who knows what they're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I tried to start my car once with the red key but nothing happened ( don't try it thou I was prob just lucky lol). Can't they get the code from the red key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
